Although I own a boatload (I'm pretty sure this might be literal) of loud, statement dresses, I really love classic combinations like black and white.  I got this adorable polka dot dress on sale at Urban Outfitters a while back (sadly, it's no longer available).  I actually attempted to take outfit photos while wearing it before, but I really disliked the way the photos came out.  The dress looked really unflattering on me, and I was sort of afraid of trying again.  But I think adding this little cardigan made all the difference; the dress is on the short side, and I think having a dark color on top evens out the fullness of the skirt.  I was kind of bummed to find that there's already a hole underneath one of the cap sleeves -- and this was the first time I've worn it!  It'll be an easy fix though.  But this sweater did give me a place to add this amazing brooch!

I couldn't not buy this!  Not only am I a singer, but I come from 2 previous generations of singers as well.  I've mentioned before that my mom made her living as a singer for years (seriously, you have to check out her unbelievably 80s music video), and my grandma was also a singer, as a longtime member of Sweet Adelines.  This whole outfit made me feel like a jazz singer.

Have a great Tuesday!
