Guiltless: Polka Dots All Around

Like it or not, polka dots are in! I have scoured the internet to find ways I will be wearing polka dots this year. Here are just a few of the lust-worthy looks I found.

1. Polka Dot Tights
Now, I know I have expressed my dislike for tights with open toe shoes. I'm just not sure it's "me"; however, I am absolutely in love with the way Rachel Weisz wears them here. The polka dots are subtle, the peep-toes are classic and the whole look is darling. She has great taste (in both fashion and men).

I have seen polka dot tights in stores around the mall, and a lot of them are just cheeeesy! A lot of times the dots are too big and stand out way too much. Also, I noticed Rachel's are nude with black polka dots. I am on the hunt. Try these from Spanx (nude or black).

2. Sweaters/Long Sleeve T's
A light sweater can take you from Winter into Spring. I think its so cute to layer a sweater with a skirt or jeans in the Winter or throw it on with a pair of shorts in the Spring.

You could go with bold dots like January Jones and Isla Fisher or you could go a more subtle route like this one from Forever 21 or this one from Kohl's.

3. Sheer
I really like how Christy Turlington looks in this sheer polka dot top and pencil skirt. I think the choice of nude underneath (versus black) really makes this a classic ensemble. Either of these tops from Zara will give you a similar look.

4. Skirts
I am loving Olivia Wilde's bold POC (pop of color) with this polka dot skirt. I know polka dots are not for everyone and I think the subtleness of the white skirt with the small black dots really works. This would be even more classic paired with a black top and maybe some POC shoes.
