Friday Frocks: Lots o’ Dots

By Kirsten|March 2nd, 2012|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Polka dots may automatically elicit thoughts of sweet baby dalmatians and Minnie Mouse, but this prissy pattern can be much more sophisticated when paired with modern accessories or worn in an unexpected shape. Dots don’t have to be in the typical black and white variation, but if you do choose to go the traditional route, now is the perfect opportunity to incorporate a punch of neon with your accessories. Though dots do seem straightforward, look for them in different colors, fabrics, and dimensions to make them all your own.

After seeing how hot a pair of simple slacks could look, I was inspired to try again. A slouchy pleated pant is a great alternative to jeans, leggings, and your regular dress/work slacks. Here are some great pleated options for you to try out as well:
