polka dot party

I LOVE polka dots . . . and in any form, really. My obsession started my sophomore year of high school when I got a black skirt with white polka dots from forever 21. My aunts took me on a trip to Williamsburg (more to come later on my obsession with the colonial period) and we went out to dinner. I wore my skirt, a black top, a light khaki trench, and decided to try red lips. It was then that I learned the power of polka dots and red lipstick.

Although my closet already boasts a lot of polka dot pieces, I have been obsessing over expanding my collection. (I normally try to dismiss the urge to buy every item of clothing I see with polka dots for fear of ALWAYS wearing a polka-dotted item and being that crazy polka dot girl.) Here are some items I have been lusting after:

Eva Franco Mullany Dress, $258

J. Crew Polka-dot back-seam tights, $22.50

Line & Dot polka-dot blouse, $79

Talbot Polka-dot knee highs, $12

And what is great about polka-dots is that they never really go out of style, do they? What is your print obsession? (I also love my stripes!!)
