polka dot parade

polka dots are everywhere these days--

and i'm absolutely loving it. 

blame it on one too many viewings of 101 dalmatians 

when i was a kid, but i wholeheartedly dig polka dots.

they can be feminine or edgy,

retro or contemporary.

a few of my favorite dotted pieces:

{i die for this spotted chambray top from nastygal... 

bonus points for the dotty shades}

{these shorts from zara are perfect}

{also from zara, this wicked printed blazer. 

i'd swap it out with my black blazer 

this summer in a hot second-- it would pair well with everything!}

{this blouse = instant swoon. 

it would look amazingly amazing between 

cherry sno-cones and fireworks on fourth of july}

{i've been lusting after this j.crew one piece for 

quite some time. modest swimwear is due for a comeback, especially

when the suits are looking this adorable}
