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!
