Words cannot describe my absolute love for this week’s style advice. Minnie Mouse was onto something, as was that infamous girl wearing her itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini. While these dots may seem a bit juvenile, they can look absolutely adorable when you find the right combination. As I have mentioned before, polka dots come in virtually every color, so you can find the color that best suits you.

Take this week’s Fashionista: she dresses up her outfit by keeping it all black and wearing boots. Her polka dot blouse blends in perfectly with the rest of her outfit, giving it just a hint of color with the white dots. The huge bow in the center is not only charming, but also gives it an added hint of sophistication. I also love bows, so this blouse is an absolute win-win for me.

This is not to say that polka dots should only be worn monochromatically. In fact, they work quite nicely as accent pieces. Polka dot tights or scarves are both trendy accessories that can add a nice bit of contrast to any outfit. Because these are simple accessories, you can ease yourself into the trend while still maintaining your personal style.

I am personally a big fan of polka dot tights, like these from Neiman Marcus. Since they are black and sheer, you can use them interchangeably with any of your other tights. They look so cute with a pair of distressed shorts or a nice dress! Also, if you’re interested in this week’s Fashionista’s blouse look, this cami from J. Crew is a good day to night piece. You can wear it to class or an internship, but it would look foxy for a night out on the town too. Take a look at the Ann Taylor scarf I referenced in a prior post about polka dot prints for some more inspiration.

Trust me: once you get started on this trend, you too will be obsessed.
