Trend Alert: Pretty in Polka Dots

Fashion | 10 May 2011

Something about polka dots makes me want to grab a burger and take my girls to the drive-in in my pink ’55 Chevy convertible! Okay, so this is only a fantasy, but why not pretend? Polka dots, big and small, are becoming a much-loved fashion trend of mine this spring.  A stand-alone staple for generations, polka dots are now being paired with cute stripes or or prints for a contemporary twist! They’re always a fun addition to any outfit if you want to add a little something sweet to your ensemble.
 
 
Haute Dots: Large or bolder dots can add a little fun to a sophisticated party outfit, and smaller dots can add a playful effect to any outfit while making it a little more casual.
