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!

 

 

 

Beach Blanket Bingo Two Piece, $90, modcloth.com

 

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!

My friend has poor self image and self esteem. She says she doesn't like looking in the mirror and she gets teased a lot for being short. How can I be a better friend and raise her spirits? Also, I have a different friend who has tasted alcohol, smoked, had sex and has done drugs. I choose to look at her personality and kindness rather than her personal demons, (which she is overcoming), yet she hangs around people who do these things and I don't fit in with them so it's awkward. I've never done any of those things before. How can I be more comfortable and relaxed around people who have done such things when they talk about it and I have no idea whats going on?! Thanks mod!!


 


Hey svds, there are a few things you can do to help your first friend. No matter how many times you or other people tell her she’s beautiful, if she doesn’t believe it herself, her confidence will just go further down. So get her to make a list of at least ten things she likes about herself. This list can include anything from the way she matches outfits to how well she makes a bowl of cereal. Get her to repeat the list back to herself starting with “I like that I. . .” every morning. If you guys have a school counselor set her up an appointment with them. Maybe they can help her get to the roots of her insecurities. Always stay positive around her. We feed off the energy of those around us, so if she sees you happy and excited, she’ll start to feel the same way. For your second friend, it may be best to hang out with her solo since you don’t have much in common with her and her friends. Hope this helps! Xoxo

My friend told me that once ur boobs start growing, there is a little ball-lump thing under the nipple that gets bigger the bigger ur boobs get. is this true???
thxx and pls answer fast!!!!!!


Hey legallyginger12345, I think what your friend is referring to is the Montgomery glands. They are little bumps beneath your areola, which is the darker skin around your nipple. I don’t think it changes it size it will always be there. Hope this helps! Xoxo
