Trend Alert: Polka Dots

I know… you’re thinking that polka dots are soooo last season. But they aren’t! Polka Dots are such a classic style. I don’t think they’ll ever completely go away… unlike tie dye.

I’m pretty sure that Diane vonFurstenberg is responsible for polka dots making a comeback. Her chic polka dotted pieces are just so popular. Most of us don’t want to spend upwards of $300 on a dress though. Be that as it may, polka dots can be found in other places.

And don’t worry, if you’re not brave enough to wear a dress covered with polka dots, you can get in on the fun with shoes and accessories that sport those little dots we love.

Here’s a few we love:
