You may or may not already know, but I really like polka dots and bows. As in, really, really, like them. It isn’t necessarily every single bow-adorned top, nor every polka dotted item, but there’s something about them both, especially together, that makes me swoon. The second I received this beautiful Dahlia pinafore, I knew just the perfect shirt! It felt like something was missing until, out of the corner of my eye I spotted my favourite bow to top it all off! It’s pretty silly, I know, but it makes me happy when I put something together that I just think works. For all this blabbing, you might be thinking this outfit isn’t so great..! But hey, that’s the whole point about personal style; each to their own!
P.S Last night I started a Facebook page for my blog, and if you like seeing snippets on your page, it would be lovely if you ‘like’ it! xx
Shirt – The Whitepepper (via ASOS), Pinafore – Dahlia, Shoes – Topshop, Bag – eBay, Trench – Barbour, Bow – Peacocks (oldie but a goodie!)
I love this outfit! I have a lot of bow ties but none of them are as huge and fabulous as this one! xx
Thank you Lauren, I’m glad you like the big bow! : )
Nope, you’re right, this outfit is perfect. x

Amazing outfit, my mum has the exact same bag- she bought it in the 80s duty-free on a business trip! I borrow it sometimes! xx
It’s a great bag, a very versatile brown/cream! And thank you! : )
Wow, this outfit is amazing!! The combination is really special, I think I would never wear it but it looks so nice on you!!
Thank you, Ine, that means a lot!
Such an adorable and sophisticated outfit! I love the pinafore also, like the scallop edge, something a little quirky and different

It’s great to have ‘adorable’ and ‘sophisticated’ in the same sentence, I’m so glad you think so! : )
Oh my GOSH this is too cute!!

LOVE this shirt… your a pretty polly lol… a little ‘like’on facebook too, sooooo nervous to make that leap, i’d have about 3followers lol
Thank you Kim! Don’t be scared to make the leap, my fears of 5 followers in 5 months was pretty unfounded, and I’m sure yours are too! : )
oh my bow this is the perfect combo. i couldnt agree more that theres just something about polka dots that compliments the little accessory and the way you styled this look is effortless and absolutely beautiful. the black and white palate of the blouse paired with the vintage-hemmed pinafore is as chic as it gets and the outerwear, bag and shoes are all the icing on the cake. genius. xo

Thank you so much Megan, what a super lovely comment, you have me blushing!! : )
This outfit is genuinely perfect, so much love for it! I love how you’ve paired it all together, the scalloped edging, the polka dot print and that adorable bow – wonderful : )
xxxx
Thank you Amy, that is a very kind comment, it means a lot to see that! : ) xx
That pinafore is lovely, love the edge detailing!

It’s a great take on the classic pinny!
I love both of these things too! But what really impresses me most about the outfit is how classic and classy they look combined in this outfit. It would be easy for bows and polka dots together to look a bit childlike and that is not the case here at all. Classic looking all the way!
Thank you, Kristian! There’s always a chance that such a combination can look childish and I was hoping it would look more sophisticated, so thank you! : )
Everything about this outfit is just utter perfection. You look amazing!
