Polka dots!

Playful and adorable, polka dots make you want to smile at passersby. I can imagine Zooey Deschanel wearing them. Thoughts? Will you wear polka dots this fall?

Here are a few lovely polka-dot pieces: small tights, big tights, a top, a dress, a silk blouse and a skirt.

  1. I love that sweater! And those tights! Ah. I love em. Definitely one of my favorite trends. And I love how polka dots have become so grown up & chic, no longer just associated with little girls.

  2. Polka dots (or petits pois) are a classic so I have some from the 1940s even...a silk scarf from an aunt...purchased in Paris. Woohoo.

  27. Mmmm... I have mixed feelings about the dots, they have to be small, sort of vintage looking, and in small doses for me to get behind them. What I'm absolutely in love with though is that infinity scarf in the first photo. That thing is amazing!

  50. I really love polka dots. I recently received a Boden polka dot shift dress that I wore and posted on my blog Monday. While the polka dots are whimsical the dress is very classic and "mad men" like. I loved it so much it became my header! Def a trend I'm enjoying this season.
