It has been a beautiful week in Los Angeles as we’ve all been taking up every opportunity to soak up the sun. While participating in the annual Relay For Life in the city of Walnut, I came across this Fashionista next to the track of other participants walking for the fight against cancer. What I eventually discovered was that she was scheduled to sing as a performer for the rest of the afternoon. Talented and charitable, this Fashionista wore a lovely polka-dot dress and nude heels for her appearance on stage.

There seems to something about polka-dots that are flattering on dresses. This concept has reappeared many times throughout history in fashion magazines dating back to the 1950's and '60s. Lately there has been a reemergence of the iconic pin-up girl look. Since the start of 20th century, the signature polka-dot dress has become a hug hit as celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor popularized the print. Even in the 1990’s polka-dots made a glamorous reappearance in the movie Pretty Woman during a scene when Julia Roberts attends an event arm in arm with the 90’s heartthrob, Richard Gere. That is why it is no surprise that even today polka-dots are making yet another comeback.

The classic polka-dot dress is perfect to wear for any occasion. In my opinion versatility is key when shopping for clothes. You want to be able to throw a summer dress on without having to look overdressed. A pair of nude heels are reliable because not matter what the situation is you can’t go wrong when wearing them.  For this Fashionista they compliment her dress and gives a chance to show off her outfit. Her shoes are simple and the heels are not too high. It is apparent that the polka-dot dress is timeless. You can get this look at American Apparel which is dotted and fitted to perfection. Or make a splash with a cute swimsuit for summer from Anything But Water.
