It’s finally Friday! The weather is heating up here and this polka dot dress is perfect for summer weather. I am such a fan of polka dots!
This dress is a silky knit and it’s fully lined. This is one of those dresses you can wear all day and it’s not going to wrinkle. That’s my kind of dress!
I added heels but flat sandals would be cute too. I’m 5’6″ for reference on the length of this dress.
I kept my jewelry simple because it’s hot.
This polka dot dress has a relaxed fit and is oh-so comfortable.

Beauty For the Heart~~I am reading the book of Haggai in the Bible. It’s a small book tucked in the Old Testament and it’s not typically my go-to book but it’s a book in the Bible worth reading.
Haggai, a prophet, is talking to God’s people and he says these words in chapter one verse 13, “I am with you says the LORD!”
While Haggai was talking to the Israelites, I think it’s a good reminder for us too. God is with us! Whatever you today, wherever you go, know that He is with you.
Have a blessed day!

Hey Cyndi,

That dress is sold out Michelle. Sorry!
Cyndi
Was out of town, just finished opening all my emails. This dress is me, can dress it up with a, short white sweater, { when it’s cooler ha } and like you said can do flats. it makes you look taller, happy thought haha, I’m 5/10 getting dresses the length I need is not always easy to find, I’m going to check this dress out for sure. Now, for your beauty inside. It’s SO beautiful, you being willing to be obedience to the Lord. I’m always more then willing to follow what the lord leads me to do. Thank You !! for the kindness you showed your sister in Christ as well as us, but more so our Lord !!! your a doll !!! Now she has a pretty polka dot dress, bless her heart . I’m so happy for you and her. Bless You !!!
I absolutely LOVE this dress! It’s so me and exactly the sort of thing I’d buy! Mind you, I always love the clothes you style, Cyndi – you have such amazing taste! I’d pretty much wear them all. Though I have a bad back nowadays so always have to wear flats or at least a very low heel. I like how you also suggest flat sandals in your posts. I would style this dress, for a more casual holiday feel with flat lace up plimsolls or ballerinas – very French!
Cute dress and you look great as always. It was truly a thoughtful and caring thing you did for that women. I do wonder about her feelings though and Matthew 6:1. You seem like such a good hearted person who cares so much for other people. In helping, sometimes we don’t mean to but showing off our good deed can make the beneficiary feel bad. It’s just a thought. I know you have nothing but the very best godly intentions to share love, and Gods word wherever you can. I enjoy reading your blog every day.
Hi Cindi, I would never have shared that if she was going to see it. This family has no computer, and no internet and no way to access it.
She has never heard of Loft, Banana Republic, Gap, etc. She blessed me beyond words and I will always hold her close to my heart and pray for her and her family. I’m hoping to go back next year and see them again.
Blessings,
Cyndi
There have been times where I felt a nudge from the Lord to bless someone but second guessed myself for various reasons, and I’ve found that when I truly believe the Lord is asking me do something, He will make it beautiful. Not only does my obedience bless the recipient, God blesses my heart as well! I think the love and generosity Cyndi gave to this dear woman was a beautiful, sacrificial example of servant-hood unto the Lord. Reading about her gift blessed me and others as well. Reminds me of Matthew 26:35-36, 40. Jesus said,”For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…, I needed clothes and you clothed me… Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Cyndi, I no longer get your posts and don’t know why.

Cute dress, Cyndi!
As always you look adorable! The love of the Lord just radiates through you. Thank you for all your inspiration and encouragement!!
I have to agree I like this dress on you better. I know the lord is always with me sometimes I just need to thank him more often. Thank you for today!😊😊
Great story Cyndi! You look beautiful in the new dress as always. I like it better than the first one. But what I really love is your sevant’s heart for our Lord and your obedience to Him! You bless me every day. Thank you!
Things do work out wonderfully sometimes if we only have faith! This is a cute polka dot dress too 🙂 and now when you wear it you can think of the lady you gave the other one too and just imagine how blessed she feels to have received it. There is no great joy for me than to give to those who are truly in need.
**no GREATER joy
Cindy,
I love this dress maybe a bit better than the loft dress. I left some of my clothes when I visited Cuba too. Some weren’t in good enough shape to leave.
Ann
Beautiful outfit! I’m missing something. Where is the story about leaving the dress in Cuba?
Liz, if you subscribe to receive her emails there is different material in them that is not in the blog.
I love this dress and your fashion inspiration. It’s nice to see other Christians who also love fashion. I would love to see some more posts about hair. Also, have you considered doing any bible studies on your blog? I think a lot of women would be very interested in that.

Awesome story! It really touched my heart. Love that dress on Deanna. It was meant for her. God Bless!
Beautiful story. The dress is sold out in small 🙁
So sad this dress is sold out in small. Love it!
God is so good to take care of us! You are an amazing servant. Thank you for your witness and the love you show others!
God Bless you! I am American and Cuban on my father’s side. I was truly touch by your generosity. My father told me when we where trying to plan a trip in the 80’s to visit my grandmother. He said, we will leave all the clothes in Cuba. God did speak to you! I thank you!
It’s so awesome you heard his small voice telling you to give it away! Great story and great great God!
Love, Love, Love polka dots and have been looking for a navy dress like this for some time, thank you so much for sharing. You look adorable in it Cyndi. Yes, God is Good, he is with us every day! I have to say that and pray for protection around my family, especially my older son who is a police officer in these scary times. Thanks for your inspiration daily Cyndi. –Anne
Anne, thank you for rearing a son who has a heart for service. AND thank him for his service.
Prayers and blessings to you and all your family.
What a great thing to do!!! I know the ladies were so blessed by you!!! We can never out give our father, and i know that He will truly bless your obedience!!!! Love the new dress!!! Blessings!!
Dear Cyndi,
What a wonderful story especially in these difficult times in our nation. There are truly good people, like yourself, who think of others and follow God’s plan. We all need to listen to that little voice telling us what to do even if it doesn’t seem like the best timing. God knows so much more than we do!!
Blessings on your day!
What a blessing to leave your clothes for those ladies in Cuba – I always do that when I go on a missions trip – I leave most of my clothing with the missionary or for some specific ladies. It blesses them and me. AND the good Lord knows we ALL are blessed with abundance.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Love this dress on you even better! The other one looked so lovely on your friend. I’m sure she will treasure it.
Cindy, You are such an inspiration. I look so forward to your post each day. Your story of how you gave up your polka dot dress that you loved to a lady that God told you to give it to is amazing. God blessed you by giving you another polka dot dress. You are such a beautiful lady. I love your hair. I am trying to let my hair grow out now and I would love to have your cut this fall. Absolutely beautiful. May God continue to bless you and your family greatly.
Your comment about leaving the dress behind made me smile. I did the same with a favorite pair of hiking boots that I left behind in Africa. I often wonder and pray for whoever is walking in those shoes.
Dear Cyndi, Thank you for the wonderful post today. I love your story and sometimes I think that thinking about fashion or decorating (which is my interest) is frivolous. It shows that God gave our talents and interests for His Kingdom and bring Him great glory. It’s ALL for Him. Thanks for the reminder that it is and that He is truly always with us.
Love the story behind the dress! Such a great reminder for us all.
So glad you left your heart open to hear God’s whisper. Those ladies, I’m sure, were so grateful for your generosity.
I love this story too! Great reminder for us not to hold onto anything God has given it all to us anyway! I love that you were so sensitive to his spirit and heard that call. Great encouragement for us all today who have so much to be thankful for.
Thanks Cyndi 🙂
It is wonderful to give to others—-it’s such an uplifting experience!
Good for you for following through Cyndi!
Any dress looks good on you, and I love the border trim on this one!

Beautiful story Cyndi of faithfulness on your end and on God’s end! We can never out give the Lord can we! The dress is so pretty and I am thinking of ordering it but I’m 5′ 3″. I kniw you are 5′ 6″ so do you think the dress would be too long on me? With the stripe hemline I couldn’t hem it.
mysterious ways!~
Great story! Thanks for sharing and that is wonderful of you to listen to God and to do something so sweet for the ladies in Cuba. Love the dress!!
Great story and a great lesson to us all about listening to God’s prompting of our hearts in service to Him. I love this dress and have a top similar to this design. Have a wonderful weekend.
Your story about leaving the clothes in Cuba brought tears to me eyes. And isn’t it just like our great God to have another polka dot dress waiting for you at home?!
I think this is the most awesome thing you’ve ever posted…and you’ve posted some good stuff! 😉 I LOVE giving things away to people but I’m not going to lie, it would be hard to give away the very things that define part of who I am. It challenged me to think of what I cherish and how I might give it to someone who could benefit far more from it than I can. To God be the glory! #sisterhoodofpolkadotdress
I love your story of the dress! I’m sure she did feel beautiful! Wish I got the photos from your email but they don’t come thru. Only those on your website do. The glamour farms one is adorable too. Love the stripes at the bottom.
The pic from Cuba made me smile.
What a great story Cyndi! The Cuban woman does look so pretty in the polka dot dress. I grew up a Southern Baptist and have always said that God has to hit me on the head sometimes to get my attention. I thought of that reading about your experience with your clothes. I suspect the women there don’t have all of the options we have to get whatever clothes we want. The GF polka dot dress is so pretty and looks really comfortable. God bless!
Adorable!!! I also love polka dots!
I can’t connect to the link on the Polka Dot Dress. It says cannot connect. Is it on my end? love the dress!!
Sorry Gail I fixed it!!
Cyndi
Your dress story touched my heart this morning. I need a constant reminder that the things I take for granted would mean so much to others. Bless your beautiful heart!
Also, I can’t wait to get the details of your western Kentucky speaking trip (fingers crossed for the Bowling Green area). I really hope I can attend!
The links for the dress aren’t working for me.
Fixed it! Sorry about that!
Cyndi
I absolutely LOVE polka dots! Are you wearing a small? Love this dress. You look adorable!
Yes!
It was really nice of you to leave the dress and other clothes in Cuba. I would be interested to read what types of fashions are popular in Cuba and what the clothing situation is like. Do they have clothing stores similar to ours? Where to they get clothing?
Dear cyndi thank you so much for putting me on your mailing list . I am not sure I was explaining myself very well . I was on your mailing list and then I was not receiving any and I love your daily posts .you are so beautiful and love your style thanks again. Diane
