Thursday Purseday: Restrained Dots

Whenever I look at clothes from the 1940s, 1950s, or 1960s, I think how easy it was for women to look gorgeous without even trying. Now I know this is far from the truth. The perfectly coifed hairstyles of the 40s and 50s took hours.

I'm really stuck on polka dots this week. I think they add a touch of fun to an outfit. Therefore, today's Thursday Purseday pairs a simple black wiggle dress with dots. I also threw in a bow (on the kitten heels) for good measure.

Where to Get the Look: Liz Claiborne Derby Hat from Rogue Retro, $15; Polka Dot Belt from By the Way, $12.50; Black Wiggle Dress from Vintage Dresses Outlet, $29.95; Polka Dot Purse from Bobettes, $27; Black Leather Pumps with Bow from Woo Hoo Only 10 Dollars, $10.
