While I’m a stripes girl through and through, when I look in my wardrobe I realised that I’ve got a bit of a secret love for polka dots. Those spots have snuck in to my life – on my makeup bag, on my onesie, and on my clothes, and I have to say that I’m a fan! It started out with small spots, but now I’m going for big, bold contrasting spots.
To fit in with my reconfigured wardrobe that features a lot of black on black, the white spot print on this black dress provides a nice contrast. If you’re used to wearing a lot of black then white is a great neutral to help you expand your wardrobe. I couldn’t completely stay away from black though, I found this black shrug in my closet and thought it would be perfect to keep the chill off my upper arms. Unfortunately it’s too big for me now, so I had to pin it at the back for these photos. The good news is that I’ve ordered another one in a smaller size, so I will still be able to rock this look! So much win…
What contrasting colours do you like to wear?
Meagan wears:
Estelle Meagan Dress from Farmers (22)
Black Knitted Shrug from Yours Clothing (26-28)
Head Over Heels Bronte Ankle Boots from Number One Shoes (9)
You can never go wrong with white on black polka dots! I have a jumper, shirt, blouse and two dresses with them…may be a bit of an obsession…
Yay, all the polka dot love!
i like it when you wear prints! loving the new blog look too!
Thanks Ezmae, I thought it was about time to change things up!
I love it! you look amazing in spots 🙂
Thanks Ellie! xo
Those boots!! You look awesome in spots 🙂
Thanks Louisa! I love love love thee boots 😀
Sorry Meagan, you might be a stripes girl but HECK you look amazing in spots!!!! Keep wearing them, they suit you 😀
Thanks lovely 😉
Love this outfit Meagan! I like to wear bright turquoise blue on black and add id a bit of gold in my accessories 🙂
Ooh, that’s a great combination!
Like stripes, I think polka dots are a classic too that won’t go out of style. I also like your boots! I haven’t had luck in finding flat boots as most I’ve tried look way too big (and I think of Ronald McDonald look) so I’ve been on the hunt. I might have to check Number One Shoes out. 🙂
Definitely check out Number One Shoes – I always get my boots from there are they last me a long time. I pretty much buy the same style with different detailing every couple of years 😀
I haven’t checked in a while but I need flat boots for an upcoming trip since I’ll be doing a lot of walking. I hope I find one. I had a similar style I got from the Warehouse years ago but I had to throw it out this year. I find warehouse and No 1 shoes do last a while anyway. Goes to show you don’t need to spend too much on a pair.
You look fab! And polka dots/spots are def a neutral in my wardrobe!
I never thought of them as a neutral, but you’re right, they totes are!
Your hair looks so good Meagan! I love this outfit too. You can’t beat dots. x
Thanks Sophie! xo
You are looking so good Meagan. What are you doing differently? X
Thanks Judy! I cut off a lot of my hair recently (about 7 inches), that’s the only thing that’s different 🙂
