Everybody,Everywear: Dancing the Polka…DOTS!

by Pamela Lutrell | Mar 8, 2011 | Fashion | 22 comments

And a one…and a two….let’s polka every bawdy…..that was my Saturday nights growing up. At 6:00 every Saturday, my parents sat down to watch the Lawrence Welk Hour and it seemed every week there was a polka segment with an accordian. You didn’t make noise in the house during Welk, so eventually my brothers and I gave up and watched with them. This memory makes me feel really old…

POLKA DOTS, on the other hand, make me feel young! I suppose this is because I have worn polka dots from baby on up! I always feel youthful and joyful in something with a polka dot pattern. So join us in the joy and catch all of the spotted fever @ Everybody,Everywear.

So cute. I ADORE the "dressed up" look. It's perfection!
Cute Kate Spade bag. I actually went to high school with her. She was just Katy B. and two grades ahead of me when I knew her. Still looks the same, too 😀
BTW… I watched LW with my grandparents as Sat. night was my parents' date night.

Love your polka dots. I really need to own some myself but surprisingly, I don't think I own one polka garment.

I love your family memory. I can remember being in the fourth grade, we would come home on Sunday nights after church and watch Happy Days. Good times.

xo,
Tracy

I watched Lawrence Welk at my grandparents' house every week (followed by "The Beachcombers" – Canadians will recognize that).

Love the polka dots!

I watched Lawrence Welk too. Stopped back by to say I edited my post to add today's outfit with a dotted necklace. 😉

I agree! There is something perpetually optimistic and youthful about polka dots, and you are a fellow polka dotted fan! Looking good Pam. (I remember family TV with the LW Show and Carol Burnett. I didn't care for Lawrence, but loved Carol!)

Polka dots really are ageless, aren't they? I love the black polka dot top – it's completely timeless!

Very cute, I especially love the picture with the flowers. Polka Dots do make you feel young and feminine, they are so cute and very girly. You've inspired me to try to wear polka dots tomorrow!!
