I haven’t shopped Papaya in seriously over 6 years, mostly cause there isn’t one close to where I live and I don’t remember having been impressed with their clothes the last time I was there. But, I happened to find myself halfway across town a few weekends ago and decided to stop in cause it was next door to the Forever 21 that I was in already.
Lo and behold, I found this amazing polka-dot shirt! It was a little tricky to style as the back is split open and the front kinda poofs out like a weird maternity shirt. Fortunately a belt solved it all. I was surprised to find that the top actually looks like it has a peplum cut when it’s cinched in. Major score!
Another nice surprise was my hair this morning. This is day 2 of my curls! I’m slowly perfecting my curling technique. 🙂
P.S. In case you missed it:
- Ruffle Vest – A ruffle vest, striped blazer, and bright cobalt jeans!

WOHA – what a surprise in the back! Last time I was in Papaya was in high school when I went shopping with my petite friend. I was a giant out of place 😛
I love the neutral palette on you – it complements your skin tone beautifully.

This is such a unique top, I love it. I am a sucker for anything polka dots though so I may be bias 😉 I really love the beige color of that skirt, paired with the top and red belt is such a perfect combination. So beautiful as always, thanks for sharing.
