Just as I was debating whether or not to feature polka dots today, I spotted (no pun intended) this photo on
Hanneli's blog today. What can I say? It was beshert.
I've never been too keen on polka dots. They make me think of Dalmations and the Measles, a virus I contracted when I was about eight years old (the chances of a kid getting the measles after receiving an immunization was 1:1,000,000). Pretty crazy, right? I wish I would have beaten the odds at the lottery instead.
Recently though--within the past year or so--I've actually started to like dots on my clothing. Probably due to
Mad Men's impact on the fashion world; I'm sure Betty Draper (pictured below) has had something to do with the pattern's resurgence. What do you guys think?

Polka dots remind me of the 50s (hence Mad Men reference). I think they have made a big comeback. xo
ReplyDeleteI have to say I am not a fan of the polka dot resurgence. I'll skip this trend.
