While at the Next Press Day last week, we were given a goody bag with floral sunglasses and a scarf, and were all asked to style them up in our unique little ways.
I thought I'd take my look down the 50's route with this 50's style Polka Dot dress from Tesco, and a pair of nautical wedges from New Look. I tied the scarf around my head and added the sunglasses to finish the look.
What do you think? How would you style the sunglasses and scarf?

Thanks mum for getting the dirty towels in the picture!
Does the dress vaguely resemble a school uniform? I think it was similar to my primary school one. I would compare with a picture, but I think I burnt them all, lol. Either way, I do love the dress and I'll most likely get a lot of wear out of it this summer (when summer eventually comes.)
Also, I got my hair cut! I got a few inches off and it's shorter than I've had it for a while. There's still a bit of the colour at the bottom, but this is probably my perfect length. Although, it'll get shorter when I wash it and the curls come in.

I don't think anything could ever compare to the school uniform I've almost just left behind, but my first school had sailor dresses as girls summer uniform. It was cute at 5 or 6, but at 13? So glad I left that place at the age of 10. I'll never be able to wear anything that resembles a sailor dress ever again!
Your school uniform was polka dot? Kind of jealous, mine was a knee length plaid skirt and a button down oxford shirt! I love this tesco dress and I think you did a good job with the styling challenge. Also, this post made me laugh a lot--the commentary was hilarious!
You look a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!
I really like the sunglasses frames. The dress would look great with the skirt shorter, perhaps tucking it into a belt.
I love nautical looks and polka dots! I have a dress that looks a bit like yours, check it out here: http://fashionaina.blogspot.com/2010/05/one-dress-two-looks.html I love that dress thus love yours! Cute shoes too!

Ooooh how I do love this outfit! Polka dots = amaze!
It doesn't look school girlish!

i absolutely love the polkadots!
The dress is cute, I do like a polka dot sun dress. I don't think it looks like a uniform at all.
I think I'd have to style the glasses with simple white t-shirt and jeans combo - but then I do like my jeans so that's no surprise!
perfect glasses for the outfit
Love the dress. Can be dressed u or down with a denim jacket!!
Roll on summer xxx

Love

SO cute! The dress doesn't remind me of a school uniform at all. It looks perfect on you! The bow and the sunglasses are the best accessories, I think. And I have to say, I love your hair in these photos. I adore it when it's curly, but it looks extra chic straight like this!
Gorgeous look, darling!
Love your dress!

I love those sunnies on you and I've styled mine in the exact same way, I guess you'll see the pic soon! Anyway, that was such a fun day! Love your polka dotty dress!
I think the dress looks really pretty and nothing compared to the old summer dresses I used to wear to school, so you're safe there! I love the 50's theme, I always have, you look lovely and I hope you found the link helpful. I'd enter if you wanted to, I think the prizes were pretty prestigious. Good luck! xxx
Love those shoes! And the towels are kinda funny. "thanks mom" lol
I just love this dress- paired with those floral sunglasses, it makes a perfect retro-inspired summer look! But then again, I didn't have to wear a uniform to school, so I don't have any particular problem with navy dresses :)
xox,

Wow, what a fun outfit! With sunglasses and scarves, you can't help but think something like this. I would probably style it quite similarly!

Looking good :). haha
Blue and red areee sweet on you!
You look lovely as always, I love your hair cut! and if your uniform looked like this then that was a very stylish uniform. Back in my private school days, my uniform was a green and white checkered shift dress, with a white shirt under, and a green tie, if I remember correctly... not the most flattering thing... especially not in that shade of green haha!
Loving the polkadots and shape of the dress
BLEURGH!!

I am gaga for polka dots and in fact wrote a whole blog on it. You look as cute as the polka dots! The Japanese artist, Madam Kusama paints only polka dots. You should check her work out.
Aww this is an adorable outfit!
I love the way you've styled this! I must say I love a headscarf so I think I'd go for a similar fifties look but with high waisted jeans and a midriff tie shirt.X
