WIW: Polka dots, stripes & vintage

Ugggg....Monday morning...I'm covering for a lady this week that's on vacation and her boss is a BEAR to work for, so I decided I need to dress STRONG this week.

Today's offering started with my black BR sheath dress. I've topped it with a graphic black/white striped knit blazer. I then added a touch of dark red at the waist with a belt, polka dot tights for pattern mixing and my Doc Marcie boots 'cause they make me feel fierce. My handbag is my vintage Cartier as it pulls out the dark red of the belt. Gold wedding ring and watch and a swipe of dark red lipstick and away I go.

What do you think? Good outfit to start off a tough week? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket: Ambition (Winner's)
Dress: Banana Republic
Belt: Danier Leather (thrifted)
Tights: Hue (my absolute favourite brand of tights and hose)
Boots: Doc Martens
Handbag: Cartier (vintage)

That is one cool outfit. I may have to borrow this look since I have my Doc Marcie's too. I just recently found a purple and black striped jacket which I may have to figure out how to wear.
