A VERSATILE POLKA DOT SKIRT SUIT

A couple of months ago I found this fabulous polka dot skirt suit at a thrift store here in Dallas. I decided to show a couple of different ways to wear it. The weather here in Dallas has been crazy...there are tornado warnings as I type!! Since I have been unable to take pics outside due to days of wind and rain I decided to play dress up and have my hubby take a few snaps of me in my bathroom. OMG... we have to evacuate for a tornado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm back...safe and sound... THANK YOU JESUS! 3 tornadoes have hit here in the Dallas area.
We took shelter in the hallway of my building for 2 hours. It seems the tornadoes have moved on toward another direction. WHEW!! SCARY!!

And now back to our regularly scheduled program....the outfits! ;-)

Here I am wearing the skirt suit with a stud belt from Lane Bryant and my Jeffrey Campbell wedges.

I apologize for the lighting in the pics. 

Added my K-Dash moto jacket

Here I am wearing the shirt over top of a hot pink Anne Klein silk sheath dress. 

The heels are by Sam and Libby. Vintage broach.

Here I am wearing the skirt with a blue shirt from Lane Bryant, Pour La Victoire heels, Target belt and a vintage men's fedora hat (THAT I LOVE). The belt and shoes are a burgundy color but they turn out brownish in pics for some reason. I also notice that my hot pink lips are not showing up either.
BOO bathroom lighting...BOO!! lol

I used to associate polka dots with children. Very Minnie Mouse!! Now I LOVE them!

I have purchased so many polka dotted things. 

On another note - I have had 3 herniated disks in my lower back for 15 years now. About a week ago the pain moved to my sciatic nerve. I can't tell you how much pain I have been in over this past week. It has been hard to just get out of bed. I have truly been "SUFFERING"!! 

In my walk with Christ I have learned this: 

Suffering is a part of life. It often seems as if we get through one problem only to face another. 

A Christian is not exempt from suffering, whatever form it takes – persecution, rejection, hurt, pain, sorrow, loss, failure, hardships, trials and other painful experiences. 

Jesus suffered and died for our sins and I know that NOTHING I go through could ever compare to what Jesus went through for me. I am reminded of this scripture....

 “More than that we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character and character produces hope and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.” (Romans 5:3-5).
