I saw this outfit from Phillip Lim’s 2010 Resort Collection and was inspired to try it out! Who would’ve thought that layering polka-dot on polka-dot would look good? Definitely not me. But after trying it on, I think I kinda like it! I think the secret is the different size polka-dots as well as the different texture of the fabrics that make each layer still stand out even when layered on top of each other. What do you think?

I love this look- polka dots are my fave 🙂
So cute! Love the mesh of different sizes of black and white polka dots!

I was going to say that I didn't think you could pair polka dots with polka dots but the way you did it with the different sized patterns works well!
Totally works here! This would also be really cute with skinny jeans or shorts!
I like how you look all dotted up! 😉
So cute! Love the two different sizes of dots, jeans fit great!

Love the look. Polka dots are something you either get right or get WAY wrong. This is a "right" look, for sure! I'm not too sure I like how it's all black (and white) up top, and all nude/cream from the waist down. I think it may have looked better with a black pump. Oh well, who am I to mess with perfection?

i love it…i'm all for extremes. i think i'll have to add this to my experimenting with extremes series!
I've tried stripes on stripes, but never dots on dots….looks great! Will add this to my list of things to try…great idea!
I love the dotted cover, and think that the layering is nice, What a versatile outfit. 🙂
love that you layered the polka dots
love the sleeves and neckline of that cardi

Wow, you did an awesome job putting this outfit together! I actually saw it in Phillip Lim's collection too and was caught by surprise because I would have never ever done that on my own. I think it looks great! You can really see the difference in the two designs of polka dots! This outfit also suits you personally very well!
I love this combination, very fresh-looking!
I just had a curious question. I recently grew out my bangs because they were really high maintenance and kept getting in my eyes. How do you maintain your bangs? Do you trim them yourself or do you go to your stylist every time you need to trim them? Any tips and tricks on trimming bangs? Please share!
I love the double polka dots! So cute and sassy.
I'm loving the layered polkas!
More cute and little cuteness! Kileen, this is a nice outfit of yours. I've always seemed to like cropped pants with platform shoes. This combination for you sort of reassures how nice of a look it can be.
