Adults can wear polka dots, too!

 "Thses are not your grandmother's Polka Dots"

          Polka dots is a common pattern that consists of various dots on an item. They do not have to be equal in size or distance from one another and there's no specific number that classifies the item. They most commonly appear on children's clothing but that is changing. Polka dots are currently very in fashion, although many people have a problem. Their problem is they don't know how to make the polka dots work for them. They can make or break an outfit, here's how.

How to:

          If you are wearing an item that has polka dots, let it be the center of attention. Pair it with either a plain colored blouse (if it's a skirt for example) or classic blue jeans (if it's a blouse). Don't wear another bold print or else you may just end up looking gaudy. Polka dots shouldn't have to fight for attention, if they are; you're probably sticking out like a sore thumb.

          To keep polka dots from looking like vintage wear, add a modern twist. Some peep-toed sandals or a spaghetti strap tank top can make it look fun and new aged. A decorative belt can break up the polka dots on any busy dress or skirt, and layering can dull down the dramatic dots on a busy blouse.

Polka dots and me:

          Polka dots are my absolute favorite print. I have a polka dot comforter which I made look classy with plain matching sheet, and the same is done for clothing. I have polka dot shirts with black polka dots that can be paired with a black skirt or slacks and some matching heals or flats to make you look professional and stylish.

Accessorize: 

          Polka dots can also be an accessory. Scarves have been big recently in fashion as well has jewelry sporting the polka dot print. These can add excitement to a boring outfit, but don't add it to an already busy one. In this case, more is not better, less is better. Use them as a fashion tool. 

"The biggest challenge is making them work for you and not letting them control your appearance. Historically they are a vintage item, but times change. Wear your polka dots with pride."
