Polly Dolly - Pleats Are Neat


 Time again for my favourite meme ever - Polly Dolly! Again we have Dani from Danimezza to thank for our the idea, and this week, inspired by what she's seen hitting the market for this season, Dani wants to see our Polly's in...

Polly Dolly - Pleats Are Neat







I thought i'd go with a skirt, but i didnt want it to look like Polly was wearing my old school uniform! I found this great skirt which gave me a real sort-of mod, retro yet Zoey Deschanel kind of vibe. So inspired by Zoey, i paired the skirt with a plain black turtleneck and tights so that the skirt would be the focus, and then added pops of colour withe accessories - cute flats, a matching bowling bag, a sweet butterfly brooch,  bright bangles and a lady-like bow for her ponytail. Eyeliner and mascara will give my Polly those gorgeous big eyes like Miss Deschanel and a slick of pretty pink lip gloss completes the look. What do you think - are Pollys pleats neat or naff?

Polly Dolly - To The Max!

Welcome back to another Polly Dolly challenge ( as hosted by Danimezza ). This week Dani has been inspired by a bad retail experience, and her desire to try a new trend....and has asked to dress our Polly Dolly in a....

Polly Dolly - To The Max!

I dont know about you, but maxi skirts, for me, always give off a beachy, laid back, 70's vibe - so thats the first thought i had for my Polly Dolly. I found her a long hippy/Gypsy inspired skirt and then teamed it with a simple white fitted tank and denim vest. Of course, a 70's vibe calls for platforms, and these denim wedges are hot! The trilby and aviators modernise the look, and my Polly can fit everything she needs in her gorgeous leather satchel. A fresh scent, a slick of gloss and some cool, laidback tunes ( the " More Adventurous " album by Rilo Kiley ) complete the look. Whatta ya think?
