PUTTING ON THE RITZ
Everyone needs to get away every now and then. My trip to Lake Oconee has provided some much need rest and relaxation. While relaxing was high on the agenda going out to eat for a nice dinner was even higher on the agenda. I knew we had dinner reservations on Saturday night and I was stressing over what to pack. I wanted to wear something that I hadn’t worn before and since I am traveling with a younger crowd I wanted to look really nice.
I pretty much leaped for joy when I got the email from Erin at Purple Poppy asking me if I liked the Nally & Millie Polka Dot top. Typing “YES” was done it record time. Polka Dot prints are fun and I am drawn to items with this pattern. I really liked that it was black, go figure, because I was already envisioning wearing it with a pair of white pants.
The top is sheer and the polka dot pattern is over the entire top. I added my own black tank under the top but I also played with adding white and a bright pink color. They both looked super cute and I can see wearing the pink with jeans later for a more casual look. This top runs large so I am wearing one size smaller than usual.
You can never go wrong with classic black and white. Erin asked if I had ever tried the Lisette pant and wanted to send me this full-length pair to see what I thought. I am usually skeptical of white pants if I don’t see them in person. I knew that the quality of the clothing I had previously gotten from the Purple Poppy had always been great so I figured these would be nice. I was right, this pair is plenty thick so that you can’t see through them and there is a front panel on the inside to give extra tummy control. This pair has plenty of stretch so that you have no problem getting in and out of vehicles. There is also an ankle pant style for those who need a shorter version. I am wearing my normal size which is a 10.
It doesn’t matter if you are going out to dinner, attending a party, or just feel like putting on the ritz, you can’t go wrong with this outfit from Purple Poppy. And in case you were wondering, that younger crowd loved my look. Lol!

Tania, you’re giving me inspiration to try white pants. I am a black pants girl all the way, but you always look so lovely. Your outfit is classy but still looks comfortable. So great that you got away for a weekend of fun.
Love, Love, Love that you are outside in these photos! I am one of your readers who suggested you take some “outdoor” photos for a change. You look amazing and I love this top! I do love polka dots and this sheer is icing on the cake!
All the best,
Holly
