Never thought I'd write this:

Too Many Polka Dots!!!

After stripes, its all about polka dots for me.

Yes, my taste can be a little twee.

Anne Hathaway, famously Rachel Zoe's client, has switched stylists around the New Year, just in time for the Oscars.  Say what you will about Zoe or her personal appearance (steadily 70s disco glam with pants hemmed too long) she has an impeccable eye. The year when Hathaway co-hosted the Oscars with James Franco, Rachel Zoe supplied her client with a mostly fantastic line up of dresses that almost - almost! - withstood the shit storm around Franco's horrific appearance.

Then came 2013 Oscars when Hathaway won for that French Revolution Warbling Musical that I, snob that I am, refuse to name. The gossip was that the day of ceremony she found out that another actress from same film is wearing a dress from the same collection as she was planning to, strikingly similar to hers. Hathaway panicked and ended up switching, last minute, to this pepto inanity, wrinkly and needle-boobed:

And just so, Zoe was gone.
Penny Lovell (rumored) was in.
Since then Hathaway's casual style has become funkier and really fun, but her big gun formal gowns suffered, like this snooze fest, at the last Oscars, the first a little to Xena, Warrior Princess (but still ok), the second a Florida socialite in her 60s:

And so we're back to top-to-bottom polka dots. A polka dot dress? YEEES. A polka dot pant? Sure. But not top and pant. That's just blah styling.

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing after all. Dot.
