This is the dress I told you about.

I love it, especially the top part because there is not a lot of dresses cut like that.

And the print is not polka dots but little hats.  How cute is that?!

I always wondered why it was called polka dot.

Let's see what Wikipedia has to say about it.

"An early recorded use of the term "polka dot" is in 1873 in Godey's magazine. The pattern is named for the dance of the same name, but there is no conceptual connection linking the pattern to the dance. Instead, the name was settled upon because of the dance's popularity at the time the pattern became fashionable."

Well, that was interesting!

The shoes I'm wearing were on sale for $13.

I bought them during my summer vacations in Miami last year.

Love the way they cut the leather.

About the flower, I just tried a little montage.

Hope you like it!
