zebra and polka-dots

I had one of those "Eureka!" moments when I thought to wear this zebra belt with my polka-dotted skirt. It made me feel fun and sassy. My students liked it, too.

I made this skirt when I was studying in Paris during my junior year of college. That will have been ten years ago in the fall. It has a matching camisole and bolero jacket, but the camisole is too tight now. Too bad I don't have any fabric scraps left to piece in and make it bigger.

I think I'll start with the bolero jacket the next time I challenge myself to find a new way to style something I haven't worn in a long time. Any suggestions as to what other colors I could mix with the gold/white polka-dot print?

Is it just me, or does my head look huge here? I blame the microwave. Or maybe it's because Bryce took these shots, and he's tall, so the camera is up high.
