Polka Dots, Unicorns, and Link Up On the Edge #79
So you all know from my post yesterday that I am currently obsessing over all things unicorn. And you should also know by now that I have always obsessed over all things polka dotted. So today, I am going to share with you my new polka dotted dress and unicorn iPhone case as well as a little round up fun quotes. (Yes, this is my way of saying I am completely overwhelmed right now so I am cheating and giving you quotes. Sometimes you just need to give yourself a break and take the easy way out and that is perfectly okay!)
*This is a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own even when the quotes are not!
*Phone Case: Unicorn iPhone Wallet Case c/o Rosegal. (Available in 6 colors). If you are wanting all 6 colors of this phone case like I am, why not make a Rosegal Valentine’s Gifts wish list?
“‘Well, now that we have seen other,’ said the unicorn. ‘If you believe in me, I’ll believe in you.'” -Lewis Carroll
*Dress: Plus Size A Line Polka Dot Casual Dress c/o Zaful. Unfortunately, this dress has sold out but you can shop all Zaful polka dot dresses and make a Zaful Valentine’s Day 2018 wish list.
“Take criticism, smash it into dust and color, and use it to paint breathtaking images of unicorns frolicking through endless fields of greatness.” -Matthew Gray Gubler
*Scarf: Thrifted.
“There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.” -Marc Jacobs
*Denim Jacket: Very Old.
“You can’t have a bad day in polka dots.” -Anna Kendrick
*Jewelry: All Old.
“A unicorn doesn’t stand around and worry about what other unicorns think of it. It just sparkles.” -Unknown
*Hat: Vintage (Thrifted).
“A unicorn is somebody who knows they’re magical and isn’t afraid to show it.” -Brittany S. Pierce
*Lace Cami/Dress: Old.
“I brake for birds. I rock a lot of polka dots. I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours. I know I don’t talk like Murphy Brown, but that doesn’t mean I’m not smart and tough and strong.” -Jessica Day
“She played upon her music-box a fancy air by chance, And straightway all her polka dots began a lively dance.” -Peter Sheaf Hersey Newell
“Make your life story so amazing that unicorns have trouble believing it is true.” -Karen Salmansohn
“Magical people bring out the magic in people.” -Unknown
*Boots: Molly Mod Boots-Christian Siriano for Payless.
“A polka-dot has the form of the sun, which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world and our living life, and also the form of the moon, which is calm. Round, soft, colourful, senseless and unknowing. Polka-dots can’t stay alone; like the communicative life of people, two or three polka-dots become movement…Polka-dots are a way to infinity.” -Yayoi Kusama
“Always be yourself unless you can be a unicorn. Then always be a unicorn unless you can be a polka dotted unicorn. Then you should always, always choose to be a polka dotted unicorn.” -Shelbee on the Edge
I have to say, I absolutely love this dress and I adore my new iPhone case! I hope you all stay true to your inner unicorns!
And now your favorite posts from last week.
Cathe of Atypical 60 shared her post On the Hunt for January Sales. Get Your Wallets and Let’s Go! She found some amazing pieces at super low prices! You will have to hop on over to see them all!
And Emma of Style Splash shared her post Gold Sparkly Jumper and Glitter Jeans. This is the perfect outfit to be featured on my unicorn post since it is after my own unicorn heart…all sparkly and glittery!

I share your love for all things polka dotted! I also adore what you did with the scarf. Such a fun way to bring in color and pattern to an outfit. I’ll have to remember that!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Elsie! I actually have been wearing my neckerchiefs on my wrist for quite a while now…I think since putting on weight after kids, etc., my neck got too fat for the neckerchiefs to fit comfortably! Hahaha. And I have a million of them, so I will wear them in one way or another. I do love how they add a splash of color or a fun print to elevate an outfit. Sometimes, I just tie them on the handle of my purse, too. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

What a fantastic dress! Wow! And you know how I love denim jackets on dresses. They are always so stylish. Fantastic look!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Nancy! I haven’t worn a denim jacket in quite a while! It was fun to pull it out again. This one must be 15 years old. Have a fabulous weekend, my friend!

Thank you so much for the feature! I absolutely love your dress – it reminds me of the dress Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman. The denim jacket looks fabulous with it! Btw, your quote is my favourite!

Emma, thank you so very, very much! I just laughed out loud that you like my quote the best! I never even thought of the Julia Roberts Pretty Woman dress, but you are so correct. It is very similar and I always loved that dress. I wonder if that is why I returned to this dress time and again for months before I finally snagged it! I kept feeling like it was the wrong season and so I passed it by multiple times. I am so glad I finally ordered it because it is so fabulous. Nad it was my pleasure to feature you…I mean, you were all glittery and sparkly, how could I not?!

Looking very nice. Only if you would have had some polka-dotted tights but maybe that is a little too much. LOL. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Patrick, thanks so much! Actually, I had originally envisioned this dress with striped tights…which I tried…and the result was not so good! I kind of looked like a clown! Ha. I hope you have the most wonderful weekend as well, my friend.

And thanks so much for the lovely compliment! Without sounding arrogant, I was kind of thinking the same thing…I liked these photos and this outfit so much that I figured I didn’t need to say much about them…just show the pretty pictures! I hope you have a magical weekend, my friend.

Thank you so much, Bethany! Denim jackets are the perfect lightweight topper for dresses when you want to be a little more casual than a cardigan. I actually need to wear mine more often as well! I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

The polkadots are such a fun look! Love it! It reminds me of the dress Julia Roberts wore on Pretty Woman. So fabulous! Thanks so much for hosting the linkup. 🙂

Laurie, thanks so much! I am starting to think I should have done an “Inspired by Julia Roberts” post! Except I had totally forgotten about her amazing dress in Pretty Woman! I have been tying neckerchiefs on my wrist for a while now because I have so many and they just aren’t that comfortable around my neck. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

Kellyann, thanks so much! Hubby did love it…what he didn’t love was using my unicorn phone to take the photos out in public! Hahaha. You are the third person to reference the Julia Roberts dress! So funny. And I really never thought of that but I have always loved that outfit from Pretty Woman! Thanks again and have an amazing weekend, my friend.

I absolutely adore polka dots Shelbee so needless to say I love this dress on you. It reminds me of the frock Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman when she and Richard Gere go to the polo match. Do you remember?
Have a fantastic weekend, my friend!

Suzy, thank you so much! And it’s so funny about the Julia Roberts dress because Emma said the same thing and it never occurred to me to draw that comparison. But I always loved her dress in that movie which is probably why I was so drawn to this dress over and over again before I finally ordered it! It is very similar. Now I just need the Julia Roberts hat that she wore with the brown polka dot dress! Have a great weekend, my friend.

That dress really is perfect for you! You have the whole vintage, Betty-Boop look down! I also have a pair of boots like those and I love them! I can put them with so many different outfits!

shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Nina, thank you so much! I do love getting a little vintage every now and then! It’s not my standard style, but one that I adore. I really loved the chocolate brown color of these boots as I didn’t have any in this shade and they are perfect with the dress. My only complaint about the Christian Siriano line at Payless is that they run really, really narrow so these squeeze a bit too tight on my fat feet! I hope you have a magical weekend, my friend.

Robin, thank you so very much! I am so happy with this dress and can I tell you how thrilled I was that the tights and booties were exactly the right color! I do feel like Pretty Woman wearing this dress (minus the prostitute part)! Ha. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

You know, I kind of knew you were going to love this post, Jennie! And I am so glad that you did! Thanks for the lovely comment. You would totally rock a brown polka dot dress, too! Have you checked sites like Rosegal and Zaful? They have so many cute ones! Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

Oh my goodness. So cute and sassy! Love the dress and the denim jacket is perfect with it. I also love the tights and boots and how you continued the same color all the way down. Beautiful. You need to pop in TJMaxx and/or Marshalls. I’ve seen some cute Unicorn mugs in there. Happy weekend! XO
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Lisa, thanks so much! I definitely need to wear my denim jackets more often with dresses. They do add the perfect amount of edge to a girly dress! And I have to tell you how excited I was that the color of my tights and boots was spot on. Browns can be difficult to match! Also, thanks for the tips about TJMaxx/Marshalls and feeding my shopping bug! Ha. Have a great weekend, my friend.
