Here are my tips on Polka Dots

  • Finding the best Polka for you!

There are polkas everywhere since this spring. There are ones with the big dots and the ones with the small dots. I found out that the big polkas cost more than the tiny little dots. The bigger it gets the more moolah it costs. Ā Choose what excites you more and suits on your body. Polkas are also energies. The artist Kusuma calls it infinite energy.

  • Polkas can be affordable

Someone recently told me, I am into travel not fashion. I donā€™t have that kind of money. And I secretly thought to myself, ā€œwell, neither do Iā€. I usually shop at Zara on clearance or Forever 21 on clearance these days. I have gone past my H&M craze because I find their stock to be stale these days. Anyways,

ā€œI have always believed shopping doesnā€™t have to be expensive, but you must know where to shopā€.

Zara on clearance is a steal and the trends on Zara is usually ahead of its time. So, Polka dots are in raze now but they had it since last season. When they had clearance in January, I got Polka dot tops for $5-$7, no more than that.

Forever 21 also has been doing great with Polka. In fact, they are doing so good, that most of their best styles get sold out pretty fast.Ā 

  • What colors?

Yellow is in these days! Gosh I gotta start another blogpost on how yellow is coming back with a bang. Anyways,

These are the few ones that I like

  1. The Classic: White with Black Polka Dot. Black with White Polka Dot. Nothing Beats that!
  2. The Different: Red with White Polka Dot. Blue with White Polka Dot. Green with White Polka Dot.
  3. The Upcoming: Yellow with White Polka Dot. Rust with White Polka Dot. Light Blue with White Polka Dot. Light denim with white polka dot.Ā 

And the ones that I donā€™t like:

  1. The Taxi: Yellow with big black Polka Dots. Hideous.
  • What Styles?

Polka Dots look great on dresses for the most part. It looks Vintage and feminine. Blouses with Polkas would also look great with Skirts. In fact, stores like Salvation Army or Thrift Stores might have racked it up on Polka for this season. You never know what you can find in way way less.

I have got t-shirts too that are Polkas and I love pairing them with my shorts. Ā Here are a few pairing options with your polkas and the best I found on internet that you can get:

I usually do 90% of my shopping online šŸ˜‰ and so, it gets easier on me to tell you.

  • What Utility

As I said, Polkas are everywhere from Socks to Pots to Bags to Dresses to Hats. You name it, itā€™s already there.

I love Polka Dot bags but I havenā€™t gotten one yet. Ā But you might want to check this list from Disney.
