Trends we heart: '60s-Inspired polka dots

Check these out, too...

  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
  • Ed. Obsession: INTERN TAKEOVER: Muscle Tees Under $20
All right, you caught us: We absolutely love the ’60s! From Bridget Bardot hairstyles, Twiggy-inspired makeup, lady-like shift dresses and, of course, polka dots, designers and celebs are in full ’60s swing this spring. You can be, too, with a few closet add-ons. Neat! 

 

Wardrobe staple

The cardigan is an essential for every girl’s closet. Switch up your regular solids and throw on some dots for a retro vibe that will take your look from bland to super sweet almost instantly.

Always a classic

What girl doesn’t love spinning around in circles wearing a bright polka dot dress in the middle of a wide-open field on a beautiful sunny day? You know we do. The look may seem a bit dated, but with the right accessories, (try a long chain necklace and some bangles) your I Love Lucy dress won’t feel so Susie Homemaker.

Bathing beauty

But, contrary to what you might think, retro bathing suits are back in, just ask stars like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift! The best part is, the silhouette is instantly slimming and is great for jumping waves in the ocean or diving contests at the pool. With all the extra support, this suit won’ t budge!

Dotty togs

This summer is all about the wedge, and what better way to stay on trend than with Tangerine Tango dotted heels? We promise that they’ll look great with just about any sundress you own. The polka dots and bow add a hint of chicness. Rock them at the season’s first pool party!

I already asked this question but i forget we're I posted it so if some one could just answer it again that would be great. I want to know where I can get a tangerine colored blouse with studds on the collar or what storme may heave something like that thanks so much


 


Hey Chica!


I searched the web and couldn’t find anything you were looking for. I know the Kardashian Kollection at Sears is debuting a lot of tangerine items in their spring line. You could try purchasing one of those or anything tangerine colored from Forever 21 or H&M and maybe take it to a tailor or somewhere and have them put the studs on for you. Sorry doll but I hope this helps! Super cute idea!

what can i use to make the period smell go away and how time do you have to change your pad during the day?
im going on a bus and staying on there about 8-9 hours.i think i going to have my period that week.usually when i have my period i have a smell with it that doesnt really smell good or that that bad but it smell bad to me.



Hey cuteangel7892, periods can be so annoying. Be sure you’re changing your pad whenever it gets too soaked. When you start to feel yourself too wet down there, switch pads. Always pads has wipes that you can use that keep you feeling and smelling fresh throughout the day. So try them out. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I got some black and white polka dot shorts that came with a matching belt that ties. the fabric is thin and the white polka dots are small. what should i wear them with?



Hey kaboodle, you can wear tank tops, halter tops, and tee shirts with the shorts. A white top, black top, or black and white top would look really cute. A red, yellow or grey shirt could also work. Don’t forget accessories and cute shoes! Hope this helps! Xoxo
