3 ways to wear a timeless trend: 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
Classic polka dots are always timeless (just ask Kate Spade!), but oh-so trendy this season. You can go bold and pair them with other loud prints, or tone it down prep-style with more basic accessories. It’s up to you on how you wanna rock your dots. Here are three of our fave ways to wear ’em:

 

Outfit 1: Bold & beautiful
Who says you can’t mix prints? Pair a polka-dot blouse with floral printed jeans for a look that demands attention! The key to not going overboard? Mixing muted tones of grey and pale pink.
 

Rose Garden Skinny Jean, $40, delias.com

Polka Dot Peplum Tank, $11, charlotterusse.com

Women’s Merona Kamoni Wedge Bootie, $35, target.com

Palmdale Necklace, $24, urbanoutfitters.com

 

Outfit 2: Sweet spots

Sometimes polka dots make just as much of a statement when they’re a little subdued. Try a dotted dress with a boyfriend blazer for a polished look that can transition from daywear to night in under a minute!

Blazer, $25, hm.com

White Mountain Loon Riding Boot, $50, dsw.com 

Staring at Stars Netting Fringe Eternity Scarf, $29, urbanoutfitters.com
 

Outfit 3: Pretty bitty dots

A little polka goes a long way. If ya just wanna spice up an otherwise boring outfit, add some polka dot accents to keep it cool and cute!

mod mod mod!
I'm going to a friends b-day party tomorrow, and I don't know what to wear. can you help me?

 

Hey girlie, if it's a casual party then leggings and boots an an oversized sweatshrit are perfect because you can move around socialize and flirt without being uncomfortable. Top it off with glam accessories!

MOD MOD MOD! So i love 50s inspired dresses and i was wondering if they're are any names for these styles of dresses. I want to make one for when my band goes to see Wicked. I need a pattern and i didnt know if there were any names for that style(s). please help thanks

 

Hey May9, I think they're called swing dresses. Google "swing dress" and be sure that's the style you're thinking of. If so, they're so cute. 50s style was so chic. Hope this helps! Xoxo
