OOTD: Cobalt and Polka Dots

The J. Crew Pencil Skirt in Superfine Cotton will be a summer long staple for me this year and with the more recent 30% off promo, you will be seeing me sport it in multiple shades – meaning LOTS of fun, bright color this season!

Outfit Details:  J Crew Pencil Skirt in Byzantine Blue

Target Polka Dot Top / J Crew Cece Flats

It’s not very often you will find me in flats on a day other than casual Friday, but these were the perfect tough to this outfit and I just didn’t feel like running around in heels today.  The copper toes are starting to peel a little, which is a huge disappointment when you consider the price point of these bad boys.  What to do, what to do?

On a side note – have you tried Revlon’s Lip Butter?  I caved and bought the Candy Apple Shade while aimlessly browsing the makeup aisle at the grocery store and for $7 it didn’t disappoint.  It’s much more moisturizing than lipstick and stains.  Just one more way I will be incorporating more color into my summer look – how about you?

Cute cute cute outfit! Love the polka dots! Be careful with those lip butters...they are addictive! I bought one and somehow strangely there are five more in more drawer at home and two at work...weird... :-)

Cute outfit! I'm really loving polka dots this season. I'm obsessed with the Revlon Lip Butter lipstick. The gloss version is great too!

You look so cute in the polka dot top! I have a similar cobalt blue pencil skirt and I just adore it. I'll have to try out this lip butter, I'm intrigued :)

Super cute look! Can't believe that top is from Target. Great find!

I love Revlon lip butter. My fav is in creamsicle.

Your hair... I just die. Is it super thick or does it just look that way in our pictures?

Gorgeous! The orange dots with cobalt is a genius pairing. I'm crazy about it!

Love this outfit! I'm counting on you to keep me informed when J. Crew has a good sale :) I really want the jean vest but don't want to pay $100 and you always keep your readers up on all things J. Crew. Thanks!

That top was such a great find! I love the new lip color on you, I'll have to try that line out. Peeling already?! I'd call J.Crew.

Cute...love the polka dots and the skirt...well, I just love it all! and you're wearing flats...feels odd doesn't it?! :o)
I recently tried the lip butter...like you said, very moisturizing...but it's so soft or either I have a heavy hand. It kinda mushed up as I was applying it...whoops!

This outfit is so fabulous! It's a little bit pin up while still being classic and work-appropriate. Love it!!! And I must try that lip butter ... I've gotten really lazy about wearing lipstick recently.

Very classy but fun! Great to see you in flats once in a while. ;o)

How would you rate the lip butter against the Fresh lip sugar?

Olga said...Best Blogger Tips[Reply to comment]Best Blogger Templates

Loving the outfit! Great find at target... Is it recent?

Denise said...Best Blogger Tips[Reply to comment]Best Blogger Templates

This reminds me of something I would see on Mad Men! I love the retro yet modern feel!

There is a gloss version?!?!? Hmm, I may have to jaunt over to Target and investigate! ;)

@Ava
Yes, my hair is thick and I have lots of it - and that means lots of shedding too! :(

@Kacie
Kacie, I need to be better about posting codes! I think I do a better job of that on my FB page. Sorry, I will try to post more often about the deals!! :)

@Sarah
I actually wear my Fresh over the color and I don't get chapping. ;)

@Olga
No, unfortunately, it isn't recent. It is a Tucker for Target blouse that I believe was fall/winter 2010 or 2011? I have seen them on Ebay though!
