May Days Jewelry Giveaway! 3 Step Polka

Polka with me!

I love red. I love polka dots. I love cropped jackets.

Best three out of three!

This is such a fun and flattering outfit. I’ve remixed this striped Gap tee SO many times. My best girlfriend bought it for me for just a few dollars on clearance a few years ago and I’ll probably wear it until it falls apart.

If you don’t already have a black and white striped shirt in your wardrobe, you NEED one! You absolutely MUST have one! Try thrifting one…I see them all the time. They look so amazing with solids, prints, and denim. I highly suggest throwing one under a cropped jacket or blazer of any style or print and watching your look come together effortlessly!

Of course, this cute as a button cropped red polka dot shirt with blousy collar was thrifted, from Value Land in Muskegon, Michigan! I’m guessing it was probably from the 80’s but is definitely vintage. It was perfect with the leopard print wedges (loving this purchase from Overstock...they are very comfortable and versatile--find them here!) and also this little black and grey Ralph Lauren tote that I found at another Church thrift store in Grand Haven, Michigan for one dollar.

TIP FOR THE PLUS SIZE LADIES OUT THERE:

A cropped jacket over a longer tshirt with jeans is a very slimming look. If you have a pear shape, and larger bottom and thighs, DON'T miss any opportunity to showcase the smaller waist with a belt or cropped jacket. This is a very flattering look for you!

The vintage metal bracelet I’m wearing is a Thrift Trick Maydays giveaway item!

It is shown next to the vintage Timex watch in the accessories picture and on my wrist next to the watch in the photo shoot. The cool thing is that the underside, though the same silver metal, is textured, so you could wear it inside out for a change of pace! It looks to be from the 60's era and has a neat angular shape.

Just answer this question to win:

What is your favorite polka dot item of clothing? What do you wear it with?
