I suppose that these boots were made for walking, but I'm really not very sure about it. I should think that they would be distracting. Not that I could imagine doing a polka while wearing either the pink or the black. That might be why they were languishing on a shelf at Tuesday Morning, the boutique remainder store.
That day was my day to be struck by polka dots here, polka dots there, polka dots everywhere. Well, almost.
Even bowls for your morning Flakey Frosties or Ultra Oaties, bedecked with colorful dots. I found myself wondering 1) where the term polka dots originated and 2) why had they gone out of fashion -- and suddenly reappeared to tease my eyes that particular day at Tuesday Morning.
For, you see, I was about to fly to Louisiana and Memphis to visit friends and relations and I needed a new suitcase. Need I say more? It was R.E.D. Not very likely to get lost on the baggage carousel and the size was perfect for two weeks' worth of clothes. Oh yes, I did indeed gift myself with that bright red, polka dotted bag.
Heh heh, GJ's on the road again, with her polka dot suitcase!
ReplyDeleteThe pearls were so pretty too.
Good for you! Love the choice,

Who would have thought that you could make a blog post out of a theme like this--hah! But, hey, why wasn't there a Dalmation dog included?
ReplyDeletePolka Dot overload!
ReplyDeleteNice post, but I'm seeing spots now.
ReplyDeleteI guess this makes you one dotty lady.
ReplyDeletelucy -- with a suitcase like that, I have to travel. I may visit Alaska next (to see dotter's family).
ReplyDeleteanon av -- I guess the polka dot idea didn't go over very well -- I saw the same sets being remaindered at sale prices at Dillards.
boonie -- I'm a cat person, remember? Besides, I didn't see that movie.
tombo -- you're so right. But no one has come up with an answer for either of my questions.
steve -- so take pictures!
qd -- oh, I'm that all right!
Very well. Then I shall do my best. :)

tombo, you have outdone yourself! Splendid references. Now I shall also have to go see what Wikipedia has to add...
ReplyDeleteI'd say polka dots are in!
ReplyDeleteLove the boots...

SnS -- ...considering that Bob Dylan regularly wore polka dots! On the other hand, don't forget that the stuff I pictured was all being remaindered.
ReplyDeleteSmiling at the bright & cheery red bag! And all of the polka dots.
ReplyDeletemeggie -- it sure worked -- my polka dots really stood out amongst all those sleek, look alike bags.
