As you may or may not know, I have a soft spot for stylish college students. Ok, that may be the stupidest thing I have ever said but I really do have one. I appreciate people who take the time to wear more than athletic shorts and a too big of t-shirt with Sperrys and a messy ponytail that halfway resembles a bun and halfway looks like a rats nest. One of those people who I have a soft spot for is Libby over at the Stylish Iowan. Oh! Added bonus she volunteers with Special Olympics, something I also do because of my brother with Down Syndrome. Double whammy of soft spot right there. We decided to showcase polka dot denim two ways today. Mine in a top and hers in adorable polka dot pants!
Top: Gap (Older)
Pants: Maker Jeans
Shoes: Dolce Vita

I brought in a wind machine for the the blowing hair effect. Just kidding. I made Andrew take a ton of photos until the wind picked up. Just kidding. I think I’m being funny but I’m also running on about four hours of sleep so a lot of things are funny. The guy at Starbucks at the table next to me is probably going to move because I keep randomly laughing. Just another day in the life.

I love how you are layering up that vest and working the oxfords! I must admit, I used to worship that messy bun, never being able to duplicate it myself. (I'm convinced you had to be blonde for it to work).
Also, love those aviators, what style are they, because the shape looks perfect!

You seriously have the most infectious smile! If I were sitting in the coffee shop, people would move from me, because I'm smiling like a creeper at my computer screen…. 😛 We could scare people together! 🙂 Love love this look! Polka dots are my weakness and I love how you styled the top and your friend styled the bottoms. You look so cool girl! <3

So much respect for college students who dress up for class. Sometimes I get 2 hours of sleep and have to break out the Sperries, but 9 days out of 10, I think it's totally worth the extra 20 minutes to put on cute clothes and do my hair. I think I perform so much better when I'm dressed cute and feeling confident. Dress for success!
