Look for Less: 50s Polka Dot Dress
Do you ever see a look on someone else or in a magazine and really wish you could replicate that at home? That’s what my new feature ‘Look for Less’ is all about!
First up: Cameron Diaz in a ‘take another look at that stunning skirt and amazing neckline’ dress that is not to be missed!
I adore this dress and would totally wear it to work daily if I could get away with it. Unfortunately, it’s definitely one of those once every few months type of deals given that everyone (I mean everyone) will take notice.
I found a few affordable versions around the web, including:
Unique Vintage – $64
This dress really has the nipped waist and polka dots down! The only thing it’s missing to complete the look is the full skirt.
ModCloth – $92
While this dress may not have the polka dots, if you want that same 50s glamorous housewife look, this is a perfect match! The purple print updates the look for today.
Would you look to don a dress fit for the 50s? Which of these is your favorite?





I am so glad you started the “Look for Less” series. I would definitely wear this look – it’s so Audrey Hepburn!
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks, Claire!
I love this vintage dress on Cameron – she looks stunning! The similar vintage dress is just as lovely.
