They count as the perfect print to inject a little humor and child-like fun into an outfit. However, balance is key when wearing polka-dots, so as to not be confused with Minnie Mouse.
This Fashionista kept her polka-dot infused outfit girly and chic, without being overtly saccharine. She is wearing a dark green lace dress under a gray coat with black polka-dotted tights. Her accessories join in on the whimsical path; she is wearing maroon booties and a bag, with a playful necklace.
