J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Pop Art Polka Dot Revisited

One collection that I missed out on – and have since regretted not pursuing – is the Marni for H&M collection. I was only really interested in this chaotic dot print but by the time I finally made it to a store that stocked this collection, it had long been sold out.

Since then, I’ve been drawn to polka dot skirts that have dots arranged in a tighter pattern. With my purchase of the No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Pop Art Polka Dot, my curiosity is finally satiated. The pop art polka dot is not as dizzying (or interesting) as the Marni for H&M print but is still a fun pattern that I look forward to wearing on a weekly basis.

This print was translated into three items for Spring:

Ella Dress | No. 2 Pencil Skirt | Café capri

p.s. Today may be a double posting day – or I may just amend this post to include the sales that I wanted to mention. In any case, check back later if you have holes in your wardrobe that need to be filled.

J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Pop Art Polka Dot ( and other J. Crew Polka Dots)

Happy Monday everyone!

The J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Pop Art Polka Dot (also available as a dress and as capris) was supposed to be the last polka dot item I purchase for the next long while but J. Crew’s new collection has me doubting my self-restraint (also eying the wildly popular Perfect Shirt in Chambray Polka Dot). 

If there is one thing that J. Crew does well – it’s its ability to take a
blasé trend and inject it into classic silhouettes. I thought I was all
polka-dotted out until I flipped through its new online lookbook and
started bookmarking pages for when a sale rolls around.

My favorite items from the set are the Polka-Dot Tie Neck Dress and the Tie-Neck Top in Polka Dot. What’s yours?
