Wear it Wednesday: Polka Dots

I love, love, love a polka dot. It's just the perfect pattern for any and all situations. Polka dots can be tough and badass, a-la DSquared, or they can be refined and ladylike, a-la Stella McCartney. I think I've been reading too many novels set in the 1960s--my style seems inexplicably influenced by the mid-twentieth century right now.

I'm okay with that, though. I've wanted to be a sexy 'greaser' girl ever since reading The Outsiders in junior high--these DSquared polka dotted jeans definitely lend themselves to that vibe.

Strappy heels and a leather jacket add a touch of sex to anything; whether tough girl or otherwise demure. Polka dots are similar in the way, they can scream innocent and feminine  or fashion-forward and daring, depending on their pairings.
