WIW - Polka dots, New dress, dated or not?

Here are a couple more WIW's from my recent thrifting trip. I'm curious whether you think this dress is dated or not. I thought the color was pretty and it fits well, and sometimes that can blind me to other details.

#1 - New blue dress - Dated? I'm wearing it today but I won't be insulted by your opinions. I'm not standing up straight in this photo because my cat kept trying to bite me (not happy with her food situation). I would push her way and then quick take the photo before she walked back.

#2 - With blazer because it's cold this morning but it will warm up to the 80's this afternoon. I swear this looks better in real life - it's not as long as it looks.

#3 - Polka dot top and burgundy pants. The top is new and I think it will also look good with white pants and my mustard pants.

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

Loving the blue colours on you and you can’t beat a polka dot print in my book.The only suggestion I would make is that the shirt seems a little large .I would be tempted to put a couple of small darts in the back just to give it a little more shape on you.Is the cat on a diet or just greedy ?

Both #1 and #2 are KILLER. Cobalt is one of your best colours, Sara.

Semi tuck the shirt in #3 for structure.

My day has been made. That Domino is a very special girl, and she does have a way of expressing herself!

BTW, I love the polka dots and the cobalt on you.

Yes, I think a semi-tuck would have worked well. After I got home yesterday, I was wearing that shirt and trying on all my shorts (just because it happened to be what I was wearing) and I tried semi-tucking the shirt into the shorts and it looked good.

She's greedy. Usually I can shake the feeder and a few leftover pieces will fall out to pacify her. Today it was empty with no leftovers and she wasn't happy.

Pretty kitty! Love both, the cobalt looks especially fresh and springy to me. And I adore polka dots. So crisp.

These both look great. I like the sandals you have with the blue dress and agree the top would be versatile.

Lovely dress, cobalt suits you very well. I like your sandals with cobalt dress, great Sara.

I think the blue dress fits great and does not look dated. Great color.

I like the polka dot shirt, but it looks like the fit is a little off--maybe the waist is too low?

Great looks! Interesting how you’ve paired the blue shirt with bergundy pants- that’s something a little different :).

Oh to my eyes the dress isn’t dated.

I LOVE the dress. You look positively electric in it, happy, bright. The ruching looks on-trend to my eye. Great find!

As I type my cat is trying desperately to break out of the house (he usually goes in and out at will but has a wound and we are keeping him housebound), so I relate. The blue is gorgeous on you and I love the polka dots too.
