I've always love polka dot. So when I found a silk blue shirt with little white dots by Marc Le Bihan for nothing I was and still is in heaven when I wear it! xoxo: MG
ReplyDeleteI want those polka dot tights so much! I just bought a pink and white polka dot bikini. looking forward to wearing it this summer!
ReplyDeletei almost bought that bangle in a different color from Kate Spade! Hmmm i wonder if it is on sale now =) Fun post CC!
ReplyDeletePolka dots are such a fun pattern. Though it can be difficult to make the pattern appear sophisticated, some designers managed to succeed. I think we ALL remember Michael Kors playing with polka dots for his S/S09 collection, which was very flirty and fun. Frida at Gucci used dots for F/W for some tunic dresses and minis, which managed to really work since the dots were oversized. I'm feeling dotty now!
