Good afternoon dolls! Today I wanted to write about a trend that I am SO excited is HUGE this fall/winter: POLKA DOTS! Of all patterns, this is my absolute favorite because it is so fun but at the same time very classy.
Finally, my absolute FAVORITE polka dot runway looks are from the Stella McCartney Fall 2011 RTW Collection:
versus a very similar blouse I found at F21 for only $14.80:
Polka dots dominated the fall runways. One of my favorite color combinations for polka dots is black & white, but colored polka dots were also big. Here are some of my fave looks:
Polka dots were ALL OVER the Marc Jacobs runway...
And next, a couple of my favorite looks from the Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2011 RTW Collection:

| Also love this look from Marc Jacobs. Color-blocking was big this summer but is also carrying into the fall, and I like the look of the maroon and blue dress. Source: Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 RTW Collection |

| Sigh...I am OBSESSED with this outfit! I love how the sheer sleeves subtly add a touch of polka dots. So lady-like! Source: Stella McCartney Fall 2011 RTW Collection  Source: Stella McCartney Fall 2011 RTW Collection  Source: Stella McCartney Fall 2011 RTW Collection |
As you can see, polka dot dresses & skirts are HUGE! However you can incorporate the runway into your every day look by wearing polka dotted blouses, shoes, purses and even tights. Polka dotted ANYTHING is the way to go this fall/winter!!!
Forever 21 is a GREAT place to look right now for polka dot items and their prices are very reasonable. Just compare this J. Crew blouse with one I bought at F21. The following J.Crew blouse costs $88.00 (online here: J. Crew Polka Dot Blouse).
versus a very similar blouse I found at F21 for only $14.80:
I know I’m going to wear this shirt with SO many things…tucked into skirts, belted with black skinny jeans and heels/boots, under a blazer or sweater, or even belted over a dress. I couldn't find this shirt online but I literally bought it last weekend so you should check your local F21! Such a steal!
And finally, I thought I would create a Polyvore to show you how I would wear polka dots (note: replace the J.Crew blouse with my F21 one):
