I Want it That Way



What I'm wearing:
*Zara Polka Dot Dress (similar here)
*anthropologie Looping Lanes Belt (similar here)
*LOFT Ribbon Teardrop Choker
*Free People Ruffled Corset Slip
*Taryn Rose Criss-Cross Mary Janes


I am such a sucker for polka dots. I'm not really sure why, but I find them cute and very easy to wear. Whenever I see something polka dotted in a store, I immediately gravitate towards it and have to check it out. This polka dot number is from Zara, a store that I hadn't been to in awhile, but found several gems in this past weekend. In typical LAFS fashion I belted the dress, and layered a lace slip underneath it. Nothing too crazy or innovative, but I did love the way this turned out.


You've probably noticed a new location for my photos! I've discovered that I can get onto the roof of my building, which makes getting up early to take pictures a lot easier. No strangers giving you the side eye, and I don't have to lug my camera down several set of stairs in my walk-up. I'm proud of myself for snapping a few outfits already this week, even though I have wet hair in all the pictures. It's just a lot easier to do it in the morning, because I rarely get home before the sun goes down.

    I also gravitate towards polka dots and you can definitely tell by my closet that I do! I love the red necklace and red shoes. They go so well with the blue dress.

    One, I love your shoes. I want them, NOW. Two, I love your rooftop location. It's so New York City and makes me miss my days living there. Three, the morning sun angling down on you in those shots is a visual mood-lifter.

    Love the location -- what pretty light! I like how the slip adds a little length to the dress but in a delicate girly way. Polkadots are to you what stripes are to me.

    I love this outfit, Rosa! Zara's one of those stores that surprises me sometimes with totally unexpected but perfect dresses. I haven't been to one in a while. Methinks it's about time....

    Oh, and love the rooftop photos!
