Fashion Blogger Fall Trend Report: Polka dots

The bloggers over at Fashables were kind enough to invite me to participate in their Fall Fashion Blogger Trend Report.  As soon as I got the email, I knew which trend I wanted feature: polka dots.  Who can resist such a fun, classic print?

The trend report features 17 fall trends, with contributions from some fabulous bloggers, including the lovely ladies of Grit & Glamour, House of Jeffers, and fellow DFW blog My Fashion Juice.  It's chock-full great information, so I hope you'll check it out.  You can see more photos of my polka dot shoot after the jump.

LBD

I attended a wedding this past Saturday, and I decided to have some fun and channel a little classic glamour.  All was going well until I discovered my e-brake was stuck, and I couldn't drive my car.  This led to me spending 15 minutes in the Texas heat stuggling to release the brake, which made me late to the wedding.  So much for classiness.

I'd rather be swing dancing

Not gonna lie...I felt like swing dancing in this outfit.

But, alas, swing dancing was not on my schedule.  Instead, I went to class and took a test.  A long test.  Meaning I wrote for 2 hours and 20 minutes straight and experienced intense hand cramps.  All in the name of education, people.

V-Day and a double-duty outfit

Hello, lovelies!  I hope you had a fantabulous V-Day.  I took the day off from blogging to enjoy all my free time with mi amor.

A black replacement

My little sister, Sarah, and I tried to see Black Swan for the second time yesterday, and, for the second time, we were turned away due to projector issues.  Woe is us.

Instead of wallowing in our sorrow for the second day in a row, we soared to the other end of the movie genre spectrum and saw True Grit, since Sarah had been wanting to see that, as well.  I'd never seen the original, so I had nothing to compare it to, but I thought it was a decent movie.  It definitely wasn't the Natalie Portman flick I'd been craving, but I guess I'll save that review for another time.  I will see you one day, Black Swan!!

In the mean time, here's a black shirt.  Okay, so it has white polka dots, but close enough.
