//// The polka dot

Posted on | August 15, 2009 | 3 Comments

I don’t do that vintage chic thing so popular here in Finland well at all. I end up looking like the skankier, uglier sister of Joan Holloway. But that does not prevent me liking polka dots. From the teensy, cutesy ones to giant, unproportioned blobs.

The summer is still here, so no fancy layering, I just wanted to show how nicely those boots resonate with simple dresses. I especially like the contrast between this silk polka dot print one and their shabbiness.

The unkempt hair is kept away from my eyes with flimsy little braid. Tiny amount of hairspray keeps it relatively well in place on my fuzzy hair.

Man, we do have similar tastes. For some reason, overtly feminine looks, such as full-blown 40’s-50’s vintage attire, make me look and feel like an unsuccessful cross-dresser, but I have a weakness for dresses such as yours paired with scruffy boots and un-fussy hair-do. (Hair non-do?) Classic grunge suits you!

I love this outfit, it’s very chic (despite what you think) vintage and the boots tone down the girlieness of the dress and make it a little B.A.

sugar kane: true! I could take any of your clothes and wear them with joy… And thanks!

Ashley: thanks! Does B.A. stand for bad ass?
