On MY Polka Dots!

Doing the Polka: Bella Q is sporting her dots!
Everybody, Everywear: "Every girl has her basics, but it’s how she styles those basic that makes her unique. With that thought and a bit of help from twitter, Everybody, Everywear was created. In the world of everyday-fashion, many of us have the same shirt, similar pants or style shoes. But just because we have the same items, doesn’t mean we have to look alike. Everybody, Everywear is a place to share your personal style and gain inspiration from fellow bloggers."

If you are a regular reader of the Citizen Rosebud, you are probably well aware that I like polka dots. I sorta own a lot of clothes and accessories sportin' this classic print. So you would know then, that I HAD to participate in this month's Everybody, Everywear event. Even though, I may have misplaced or lost my camera (insert a very sad face.) So I put my iPhone to good use and attempted to take some shots of my outfit. You are looking at some prime specimen polka dots! Then for shits-and-giggles, I filmed my first "vlog." Oh, so painfully awkward. Go ahead have a laugh on me- I'm such a goof!

Say "Tar-zhay": These are the amazing platform wedges I got from Target for $29.99

    I loved your video. I love all your polka dots too. The slip is my favorite. I don't own any polka dot stuff anymore. It's pretty sad. I LOVE them. But, my thrift store never has anything but really bad polka dot shirts from the 80's.

    Haha, I really enjoyed your video (and I definitely don't say this to everyone) ; ) And you are mega-rocking the polka dots.. even the leopard print is a bit of a dot, although not a polka one. Anyway...

    Love, love, love you even EXTRA a lot more for that vlog. You are so effing adorable, it's not even A LITTLE BIT FUNNY. Oh wait, I laughed a lot, so it must have been funny. But, not like "making fun of you" funny. I was giggling because you're awesome. And I could totally tell that we'd be BFFs if we weren't on opposite sides of the country and I didn't put a small portion of my personal life on hiatus to raise a child, and if I could rock a bandana....

    And I've said too much.
    It still doesn't feel like enough, though.
    I love you.
    There, that feels better.

    Teeheehee! I love your vlog, it was so cool hearing your real life voice. I immediately wanted to wear polka dots and go shopping with you (and I adore that leopard cardi). btw I realised I never replied to a comment you made ages ago, I am usually called Margaret (never Marge, shudder!). Some of my Scottish friends call me Maggie but it is Margaret from everyone else :) x

    Gah! I miss a day of blog reading and I miss your first vlog! And now I'm surrounded by people hitting the books so I have to wait until later to push play, but I cannot wait! You look amazing in spots and dots. I love the way you've mixed prints and those wedges would make me forget what I went to Target for in the first place!! I hope your camera shows its pretty little face. I had one that got lost/stolen once and it was rather upsetting. xoxo
