A Polka Dot Frock

Hi everyone, Elana here from Room 334! I'm starting to think Flock Together is a bad idea. Sure, the chance to collaborate with some of my favorite bloggers is wonderful, but there's no worse feeling than wearing a perfect dress and knowing that it will soon be out of your grasp. 

When I opened up this dress from Ashley, it was love at first sight. I'm no stranger to polka dots, but despite my promise to myself to try to borrow clothes that were different for me, or a challenge, I couldn't resist asking to borrow this one. It's everything I think a dress should be; it's the perfect length, it's trimmed with lace, it has subtle (but gorgeous) details, it has the most flattering shape, it's navy, and, most importantly, it's covered in polka dots.

I have to admit, it had been awhile since I had looked at how Ashley had style it, so if the styling looks slightly similar, I swear it was completely by coincidence. 

Dress: Zara, via Ashley; Necklace: Ebay; Belt: H&M; Boots: Cathy Jean; Tights: Target

The day I wore this was one of those weird weather days, where it couldn't decide if it was hot or cold so I opted for colored tights and bare arms. I hadn't worn these boots in forever, which I hear is a punishable crime in some countries, but I loved pairing a light color shoe with the navy dress.

Check out how Ashley styled it:

I love the peep-toe heels and minimal accessories she paired with it, it all complements the dress so well. You can find her whole post here for more details on her outfit and the dress!
