What is it about polka dots? They make me smile; they are such a happy print! Don’t you agree? When the sun is shining outside, I find myself drawn to a fun circular print…
I love having comfortable cotton/jersey dresses in my closet to pull out before running around town. I’ve had friends comment that I always look dressed up (you usually won’t find me running errands in a tee shirt and shorts, or yoga pants, etc.). That is because dresses are so easy to throw on, and you look put together: win-win! I highly recommend purchasing a few easy, breezy dresses to add to your wardrobe. Even if I am sans-makeup and my hair is dirty, wearing a dress always helps me feel attractive!

Yellow handbag: Steve Madden, purchased at T.J. Maxx, $39.99, similar found here
Leather capri sandals: J.Crew, similar found here
So tell me: what is your go-to “around town” outfit?
I cry every time I see that yellow handbag, I have fallen in love with it! You look great as always 🙂
Aw, thanks! I totally fell in love with it too! It matches pretty much everything, so I love the versatility!
heck yes to your yellow handbag!
Heck yes indeed! $40 well spent…I use it allll the time!
My current “go around town” outfit is one of the three pairs of pants that still fits me, and whatever shirt I can find that is clean. I figure that I have an excuse not to look so cute when you’re as uncomfortably pregnant as me. 😛
Seriously, though. You always look so well-put-together and manage pieces from even the less-expensive stores so well. I should hire you to be a stylist (after I lose this baby weight, that is).
I think you have liscense to dress like a bum if you want to! Sorry to hear you’re uncomfortable though 🙁
And thank you for the kind words! If we’re ever in the same city, we’ll have to go bargain shopping together 😉 Spending lots of money isn’t always necessary when it comes to looking good! 🙂 Thank goodness…
So cute! I love your dress and yellow bag! I tend to run errands in a similar style. Light, casual dresses are so easy and comfortable. When I put on a dress, I feel instantly put together and I don’t have to think about coordinating separates. (Like you said, I definitely get a lot of comments about being overdressed though.) But like Tim Gunn says, ‘It’s always better to be overdressed, rather than underdressed!’
sadly i often find myself trugging around in lululemon pants and a tank. i know, i know, so incredibly disappointing and lame. i gotta do better 🙂
i like that the polka dots aren’t overwhelming, but really close together. Fun pattern!
I have a purple cotton American Apparel dress that I put almost most weekend for running around.
I do the same thing with dresses — throw them on and go! You’re right, it is an easy way to look put together. I get similar comments from friends about always looking dressed up!
Yes, yes to dresses and even better if they’re polka dot! Looks great!
Adorable dress! I need more dresses like that – I used to have a ton but over time have lost interest in them/they aren’t my style anymore and I really miss having a lot of options as far as just tossing on a dress.
I love your dress! And it goes so well with your yellow purse! LOVE
