October 29, 2018 No Comments

Every season, polka dots get refreshed and are paraded out and about in some form or fashion. Whether you wear head-to-toe polka dots or if you keep your polka dots to a minimum {like with an accessory – i.e., a scarf, a handbag, or a pair of shoes}, polka dots add a bit of whimsy to your life. Wear a structured blazer over a polka dot dress to the office. Or drape a leather biker jacket over your polka dot outfit to give it an edgy vibe.
