Polka dot shirt and floral button down?

What do you think? One or both? Neither? I'm going to go back after my lecture to look at all the sale stuff too. Maybe I'll find some more pieces to refresh the wardrobe a bit.

The polka dot shirt has dropped shoulders with the sleeves in a lighter blue. The blouse is thin cotton and would need some side vents added. Love the pattern and colors.

Love the polka dots and the whole outfit in #1. Undecided about the floral blouse.

I love #1, I think it's worth going back for. I rather like the floral. I see some colours in it that would go well with some of your other things, for example, is that a jade green/turquoise that I spy? I'm thinking your short green jacket over it maybe.

I vote both!

I'm with Neel and vote both. I think both blouses would work brilliantly with your wardrobe Astrid and add some fun pattern as well.

Both, they are different from each other and they are both cute.

I'm with shevia, really love the polka dot, but not so sure about the floral.

More polka dot love (but I have a fondness for that particular pattern and own a few). The floral is really nice too and also looks great on you, but it depends on how much you like florals and rather you'd wear it often.

I don't really know your wardrobe, but the polka dot top really stands out for me.

Love the polka dot top. The fit is great and it looks fab with your jeans. Something about the scale of the floral pattern is not my favorite, but I really like the colors with your hair and skin.

More thumbs up for the dots. Great neckline.

Love the polka dots as well, but not so big on the floral. Floral is super trendy right now, but I've been seeing more bright or pastel colours. Not sure what it is about this shirt that bothers me, because the length and cut seem ok... just looks a bit big maybe?

Thanks everyone. Not getting the floral. Tried the polka dots again, I worry a bit about pajama associations...

I'm not buying it for now but I'm going to keep it in mind. On to the next store.

Annie

I vote for the polka dot shirt. Where is it from?

Astrid

Veteran

Annie, it's Esprit. I really liked the fit but I felt it looked better in the picture than it did IRL, so I didn't buy it. The fabric is very 'casual', so I couldn't shake the pajamas vibe. It runs very big in case anyone is interested, this was the smallest size available (XS).

Is that a question???? Get the polkas, Astrid!!!! I feel them more of that new Astrid style you aim for! +YLF in them!:-)

Thanks Lyn! I'm going to think about it, I'm still not sure. I'm going to bookmark it.

I'm not big on florals but I love the polka dot top on you.

I like both and wow, you look svelte! The jeans are great.

Thanks Kiwichik - another vote for the dots... mmh. You all make me wonder whether I shouldn't get it after all. If the fabric were just a tad better!

Thanks Una! I love these BFs. Probably not getting either of the tops, I fear I've become too picky now.

There are more polka dots out there in different fabrics Astrid, I think you are smart to think it over and be sure.
