Last time
I went away for a long weekend, I unwittingly packed four polka dot dresses. Whilst wearing a fifth polka dot dress. Over a pair of polka dot pyjama bottoms. And then I got under my polka dot duvet cover and went to sleep. I only noticed all this because I was watching an episode of New Girl in which Zooey Deschanel's characters was concerned that someone had said to her 'You rock a lot of polka dots' in a derogatory fashion.
I AM NOT EVEN JOKING.
I mean, I like polka dots, okay? They're nice! I wouldn't have said I was OBSESSED with them. Except, um. Apparently I am. So then I decided to have a little look back through my
Friday Frocks, and, er. Yeah. If I were polka dots, I'd probably take out a restraining order against me.




I am also a PDA - Polka Dot Addict, and will easily choose a dress with polka dots over anything else! You know what this post has done for me? Its just made me want even more polka dot dresses! I love the red one in the third row!!
ReplyDeleteRock the polka dot addiction, Minnie Mouse did!
Steph @ stephie-in-wonderland.blogspot.com
Haha, me too! I don't even realise I'm doing it but I'm obsessed! I love that red one too, it's so easy to wear.
DeleteAnd Minnie Mouse is my style icon.
14 is perfectly normal. Especially when they're all as lush as your ones!

You know what? I thought it was more...
DeleteOh I'd say that is more than passable.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar affliction. I'm currently wearing polka dot underwear, polka dot pjs, wrapped in a polka dot blanket, sat on a polka dot cushion.
Which is your favourite polka dot dress?
Haha, you are the queen of polka dots! I am currently wearing no polka dots, although my polka dot duvet awaits me.
DeleteFavourite? Can I choose 3? 7 - it was my birthday dress, and I always feel nice in it. 9 - I wear it CONSTANTLY, it doesn't need ironing and basically works for all occasions. 11 - it's just so damn PRETTY. And I so rarely wear pink!
Hooray for the dots.
hahaha This is amazing! You can't help it if polka dots happen to be so excellent!
ReplyDeleteI know! They worm their way in everywhere.
DeleteThey are lovely dresses, so this is perfectly normal and a good thing. x
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think my readers enable my shopping addiction!
DeleteI love polka dot dresses :) I don't have nearly enough!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should give some away! :)
DeleteHahaha. This is the second Polka Dots Anonymous post I've read this week! We should start a support group. I can't get enough of them. Dresses, tops, jumpers, shoes, socks, underwear...if it comes in polka dots, I have it. I gravitate towards them in shops. I. LOVE. DOTS.
ReplyDeleteOne of the girls I work with owns a couple of lovely dotty dresses but she won't wear them into the office as she knows I'll probably be in spots too and we'll look all purposely coordinated. At a work do, we both turned up in black and white polka dot dresses. And my boss had a polka dot shirt on. Good times.
Luckily I am known as the polka dot one at work (although my boss also owns the pink one above), but my best friend adores polka dots so we have to be careful not to coordinate too much. I actually have a dress on the way identical to one she already owns, but a different colour. You can't resist the dots! Sounds like your office should inflict a polka dot uniform. It'd be awesome.
DeleteHahaa, snap!

Great minds! :)
DeleteAhh you can never have too many polka dots in my book!

Caroline's Catwalk
Mine too (apparently!)
DeleteHaha I love this! I am more of a stripe-rocker myself, I own a silly amount of breton-y type tops. For shame.
ReplyDelete[ Becky at life/style/flash. blog]
Ah, I don't really have the figure for stripes, but I do love them.
DeleteThat is a seriously impressive polka dot dress collection. I only have one, now I feel like I need more!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do! Polka dots for everyone!
DeleteSo jealous of your polka dot dress collection! I'm obsessed with polka dots, so much so that I have a red and white polka dot sofa AND a dress to match it. x
ReplyDeleteThat sounds AMAZING. I want a polka dot sofa!
DeleteI'm a firm believer in buying a million of something if it works, and polka dots definitely work well for you! See thats a much nicer way of saying you rock the polka dot. But you do. I think my favourite is the red and white one
ReplyDeletexx
Yes, this is both my belief and the reason why I am poor. That's one of my favourites too, I wear it CONSTANTLY. It's a great fit and it's stretchy (so it's always a great fit) and doesn't need ironing and is not too short. Looove.
DeleteI love polka dots although I certainly don't look as awesome as you, I can see why you gravitate towards them!
ReplyDeleteMaria xxx
You definitely do Maria! They are the best though. :)
DeleteCompletely normal. But then I'm a fellow polka dot addict. In fact, looking at my latest blog post, 2 out of 3 of my latest purchases have dots. Polka dots are awesome. Embrace the love, lol :) xx
ReplyDeleteHa, yes the obsession does creep up on you, it did for me! :)
DeleteLove this post, I love them too!
ReplyDeleteI love polka dots! Surprisingly enough, I only have one blanket with polka dots and no clothing with them. I must remedy this problem!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, love the outfits :)xx
ReplyDeleteNew follower =) love your blog! And love the dresses - van't beat a lovely polka dot print!

Dots should stop being so damn fantastic. BUT THEY CAN'T, BECAUSE THEY ARE. I think you should get more polka dot dresses.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh I have yet to count all of my polka dotted stuff but it is definitely in double figures. I tend to have more separates than dresses though, think I need to rectify this! You've got some nice styles there, the burgundy one is perfection!
ReplyDeleteOh this post made me chuckle so much - I have polka dots coming out of every corner of my wardrobe too! Mostly skirts and blouses, but there are quite a few dresses in there too. Number 10 (burgandy) is my favourite of yours, a classic colour and it looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeletePolka dots are flippin fabulous! On that note, I really should start watching 'The New Girl', I'm a big fan of Zooey Deschanel and it sounds funny from everything I've heard about it. I wish I had a collection of polka dotted dresses, I think I have maybe three polka dot things in my wardrobe. I'm still loving that hot pink polka dotted dress btw.
ReplyDelete<3Honeysuckelle
I'm just gonna say it.... a girl can NEVER have too many polka dot dresses! NEVER EVER!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I awarded you a blog award thingy! http://www.lisaphilbin.co.uk/2012/03/blog-award.html
Nothing wrong with a few polka dots! Alright...a LOT of polka dots. I keep getting it from the bf - don't you already have a navy blue vintage style knee length dress with white polka dots? DUH, this is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT navy blue vintage style knee length dress with white polka dots. Stoopid.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely nothing wrong with that, especially as they're so pretty!
