One of your favorite looks from growing up is back and I'm not referring to matching leggings and tunics and headbands from Gap Kids (one of my personal favorites, besides smocked dresses and the sailor dress that matched my Samantha doll). I'm talking about polka dots. Mr. Michael Kors featured spots prominently on his spring runway - blue, white, black; skirts, tanks, dresses. I loved the look - minus the visors.
There are two feelings to this style: bold and eighties or ladylike and 1950s. Go back to the days of new wave with larger dots popping up on leggings and tanks or dotted tights. Prefer a mid-century look? Try feminine dresses with classic cuts, a bakelite-style bangle or even a spotted bodysuit (pair with a high-waisted short or pair of capris - very Buddy Holly summertime).
