Polka Dots

One of the really fun and simple trends taken from the past few Spring runway collections was the polka dot print trend. We haven't seen this look in a very long time. The 80's reinvented it from the 1950's and here we are again reinventing it in 2011. This time around it is the focal point, bold and statement making. Whether it is it a shoe or a rug, I think dots are great in small doses (especially when printed in a strong contrast.)
