Bella Blooms (A Karina Dress Review)

Spring has sprung in the Pacific Northwest-landia, and I have been itching to wear my newest frock from Karina Dresses. This one, is a fetching number in black with red polka dots. I said, RED POLKA DOTS! People, you know I had to choose that one. The style is called the Audrey, named after a fashion icon of mine (and likely yours, too!) Audrey Hepburn. It's a classic cut, in a classic print and makes for classic comfort.


The fabric is an easy wear, easy care micro-fiber. It's machine-washable, drip dry and never needs ironing. I like the weight of the fabric, it has a good feel to it, and a nice "flow" in the movement of the garment. I also like the basic styling of the dresses: the simple lines and classic silhouettes make it easy to make my own. 

I infused this sweet + classic dress with some sassy street cred, pairing it with some over-the knee striped socks, and a pair of black cowboy boots. And what mix is better than polka dots, plaid, and stripes? Well in case you think I forgot to add some floral patterns, look behind me- with the yard full of red and pink blossoms, I felt like I was a bloom too!
