2 Ways to Wear a Black Polka Dot Dress







Outfit Details
Black Saint & Sofia Polka Dot Dress c/o | Cream J.ING Collared Coat | Pink WOLF1834 Handbag (similar) | Black Pearl Heels (similar here and here) | Black Polka Dot Twilly (similar here and here) | ASOS Boater Hat (similar) | Angara Morganite Ring | Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick | Halo Hair Extension (use LIZZIEINLACE for $25 off!)
For the first outfit, I put the main focus on this darling black polka dot dress! It’s lightweight, comfortable and flattering with a feminine silhouette. I drew inspiration from the vintage print and decided to create a breezy spring time look. For a retro look, I added a black polka dot silk scarf around my neck. The prints work well together because one is much larger than the other! The silk twilly can also be tied on a handbag, around a hat or even used as a headband!
I also added a pair of black sandals with pearl embellishments that mimic the polka dot print. Adding a pop of color is always fun way to incorporate warm weather trends into your wardrobe so I went with a pink crossbody bag! To finish off this pretty spring time look, I added a simple boater hat, one of my favorite warm weather accessories.

For the second look featuring this black polka dot dress, I wanted to style a transitional outfit. The weather is starting to warm up in California (up to 100 this coming week!) but I know that in many parts of the country, it’s still pretty chilly. This polka dot dress has a great skirt and sleeve length – it’s lightweight but still provides adequate coverage. I paired it with this comfy coat, which is surprisingly warm! Instead of playing up the polka dot print, I added more solid cream tones and a few bow details.
I switched out my heels for a pair of comfy flats and added black bow attachments (these can actually be moved to anywhere on the shoe). My boater hat was replaced with a chic headband for a more prim look. To break up the neutrals, I kept the pink crossbody to add a dash of color. You can view more of this outfit in this post!

Lizzie, I love this black polka dot dress on you! And the bigger dot print on your scarf is so fun! You totally caught my eye wearing all black, by the way! You look fabulous, my freind!
