Polka Dots

“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”

Wearing polka dots is something that can sometimes be a little tricky…

If you are looking for a simple way to wear them, here are some great tips:

Wear a blouse (like in this post) – this is something that is really feminine – if you find one that is cut in a style that is flattering to your body time and using a great fabric, it is going to look classic and flattering.

Use it as an accent – either on a belt, scarf or just on a collar. It is a great wear to wear polka dots and “funk up” your outfit without going too far.

Wear jewelry – earrings or bracelets with polka dots are a great way to add a little pop to your outfit.

Wear a dress – this is something that is not for the faint of heart. I guess the key is to have the confidence to do it…I especially love the large polka dots – they truly are a statement of their own. If you are wearing a dress, make sure that again it is cut in a style that works for you.

I didn’t want to wear monochrome today so I added a big pop of orange to the black and white polka dot blouse. Orange may not be your thing, and that is OK, I just wanted to feel vibrant and sassy today – and it certainly worked! 😉
