...the kind of September when you were pretty in polka-dots...



Actually, I'm not quite sure if this dress still is pretty...looking at this set of pictures, I think it's not really as flattering as I once thought. FTR, the dress is part of Target's Merona line, bought in April 2011; the shoes are Madden Girl "Karlla" polka-dot pumps, purchased at DSW in June 2011. Other accessories are a polka-dot bow, red jewelry, and black hose.
