After I had bought my shirt I discovered a little pair of girls polka dot jeans also at Big W for only $17. They matched the Lee Cooper shirt so well, I just had to get them. I realised that I always thought I’d be the type of Mummy who did matchy matchy on the odd occasion with her little girl, yet this is the first time we’ve done it! When I showed the jeans to Immy, her face just lit up. She’s a girl after my own heart and also loves herself a bit of polka dot too. She calls them “my spotties”. I couldn’t resist adding some photos of my cutie pie and I wearing our spotties. I changed the scarf to match Immy’s pink shirt. She’s pulling off a bit of stylish pattern clashing herself with her geo vs. spots!
Style It Project: Lee Cooper Spotted Chambray Shirt
I recently purchased a Lee Cooper Spotted Chambray Shirt from Big W to join in the Style It Project hosted by Kimba Likes and Redcliffe Style. I saw Kimba in her shirt as I flicked through my Instagram feed one morning and thought the project sounded fun. I was instantly inspired to style my own after seeing my good friend from B Being Cool working the chambray! So I was in! (And was down at the shops as soon as my children stopped vomitting!)
I love dabbling in a little bit of fashion blogging. Shopping for clothes has been a favourite activity of mine for as long as I can remember. I may not be a high budget fashionista but I do enjoy putting clothes together and looking as best I can. This Big W shirt was a bargain at $25. I’m loving how very comfy it is, plus polka dots are always a win for me! I went for a pattern clash, pairing it with a fresh lemon and black print scarf I bought on sale recently from Jacquie E. My earrings are a throwback to the 90’s. A present from The Accountant early in our marriage. The Euro Ball might not be in still, but I do love these, especially since they come from Hogans, my favourite jewellery store in Toowoomba. The pants are current season from Katies. My winter wardrobe is needing a bit of a refresh as the cooler weather is arriving. I know I’m going to wear this chambray shirt frequently over the next few months. I actually love shirts because they skim over the lumpy bits I don’t want on display right now!
Are you polka-dot fan? Have you been needing to update your wardrobe as the cooler weather arrives?

Love this!!! The shirt looks great on you! Love the spotty jeans too! Xx
They are such cute little jeans! Thanks B! And thanks for being so inspiring yourself!
Cute outfit! I have been trying to find some polka dot pants for a while now but I can never find ones that fit well.
I think I would wear adult polka dot pants if I could find a flattering pair!
I love how you’ve styled it. See you can be a mummy and not look mumsy. You are proof. I have to do my Style It Project post on my Styled by Bec blog. I just find that I’m lacking time to devote to both blogs. x
Huge compliment right there, thanks so much Bec! Not that I mind being mumsy, because I’m proud to be a Mum, but I certainly don’t want to look dowdy Mumsy! I could imagine it would be a real challenge with two blogs. I’m barely keeping up with one!
I love the scarf you’ve teamed it with. I’ve ummed and ahhed about this shirt myself. Even found the last one in my sz at my local Big W but I’m not convinced I can pull the look off.
I understand, it does look a tad country. It’s something I’m wary of, especially since I do live ‘in the country’. It’s easier for a city kid to pull off a country chic look. Out in the regional areas, not so much.
My goodness, way too cute! In a way, I’m glad that I have a little boy. Can you imagine the state of my girl’s wardrobe?! Best not to!
Mind you, Boyo and I often used to leave the house dressed in similar outfits without me even realising!
Thanks so much for playing along with us! x
Thanks so much Kimba! Ha Ha! A little girl would be dangerous for you!! I tell you, girls have the cutest things. There was actually a Lee Cooper size 2 white lace blouse. I almost died, but in a remarkable display of self control put it back on the shelf. I kind of regret that move.
How cute do you both look in your polka dots?!! I love that spotted chambray. I wish I saw it before I bought my other one :/
I love it! This is still one of my favourite chambray shirts. It’s such a great quality and the spots make it more fun. You look fab! Rachel xx
