When I first thrifted the new polka dot skirt I showed last week, I put a picture on my twitter and asked people how they would style it – because while I am fearless with colour, patterns always cause me a wee bit of a challenge. So anyway, four lovely twitter friends responded, and I decided to put all the suggestions into action. Here’s the results!

I think you should wear it with white t bar heels, a white pussy bow blouse and a black blazer!
Admittedly, this outfit isn’t anything like that, since I don’t own any of the items she mentioned, but I decided to take from it a monochrome colour scheme.

I’ve been seeing bright yellow with dots and it makes my heart sing! How about a citron top, some black tights
I decided to add blue to the mix too!
*top – zara * necklace – gift * bag- gift * shoes – keds*

Here it is with lots of red and some added polka dot sockage!
* top – charity shop * socks – h&m * shoes – clarks *

With obnoxiously loud/bright colours, of course! (That’s how I style about 95% of everything I wear… Ha!)
Of course! I went for primary colours.
* top – vero moda * necklace – primark * satchel – cambridge satchel co * shoes – converse *
Haven’t they all done well? Love them all! Which one is your fave? Also, what do people think of this feature? I could make it semi-regular if people like it and are willing to make suggestions?

If you owned some of the prescribed clothes, I would prefer the first idea, but from the pictures it is Misszuman's <3
If you owned some of the suggested clothes, I would prefer the first idea by far. But from the pictures the one with red from Misszuman is my favourite!
I love them all, but the pairing with red is fabulous.

Hurra für die Tigerente! Alle drei Outfits sehen klasse aus – das mit den Pünktchen-Socken ist besonders lustig, dabei gleichzeitig besonders elegant wegen der Farbkombination! Bravo.
I love them all but the last one is brilliant - all those colours! The blue tights are an amazing shade.
I adore that skirt and all the ways you've worn it! I think my favorite is the citron/blue pairing.
First off, the idea is BRILLIANT as well as the charm of the skirt. And the wearer I might add.
My favorite two are the first (all black and white, loving the white shoes with black tights look- I think its my fave) and the red paired with the polka dots. That said I favor those combos in my wardrobe, so maybe I am being biased. But I do love the citron yellow paired with the always optimistic polka dots, and since you followed my advice on that I should give it a little shout out- HELLO CITRON!
I think this feature is great, very inspiring to see how people style so differently the same article of clothing. GREAT post, Franca!

I love this feature! I honestly can't pick just one favorite though because you look fantastic in each outfit. What a fabulous skirt!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
Such a lovely idea to create different outfits from the suggestions Franca! Love what you did with mine – I have to say the skirt works beautifully with the 'monochrome' theme!

I adore ALL of these. ALL! Well done, gals!
I love this feature! I don't have Twitter, though, so couldn't make suggestions…but if others are willing to make suggestions, I enjoy looking at the results!
Such a lovely skirt and I love all of the stylings because it could take you anywhere. I love the last one the most.
I love the top one and 3rd down, but they are all fab xx
Oh, I like number 4. I've been gearing up for a month of primary colors in July…so that's how my brain has been thinking lately.
I love the yellow & blue combo, although all four are adorable!
I love them all, I think the first is my favourite
Well you and the tweeters did quite well !
My fave is the first look
What a cute skirt – they are all great outfits – but I did a double take to see you in monochrome! The yellow and red are my faves.
I love this idea! How genius was it to ask your tweeps for their opinion!!

Oh dear, I need to get my hands on this skirt. Love it with the yellow!
This is very similar to how I wear mine
I love it with bright yellow.
My fave is red + black — the dot sox make it sing!
I love this idea. Do you mind if I steal it? A good thing to do with the closet orphans.
What a great idea for a post! I love red with black and white polka dots. Classic and feminine; always works. Especially red accessories: love!
I think the red is my favorite…. what a fun post. Should for sure be a series!
'm loving the yellow and the red. obnoxious colours are always a go
Love this idea to ask your twitter friends to come up with ideas. All of them are great, by the way. Will look forward to this regular feature. Now following your blog
The yellow is my fav, but I love them all!!!

This is such a great idea! My favourite is the red and black set, and that cute tote-bag you have with the yellow ensemble! I love that drawing!
