Four Dotted Dresses: Would You Wear One?


Four Dotted Dresses Inspired by Michael Kors Spring 2009 Collection

Michael Kors sent a bevy of models decked out in polka dotted dresses, skirts, coats and even one itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini down the Spring 2009 runway. I love polka dots and I loved Kors' take on this classic print, so I started looking for something similar on a budget and discovered that both Spiegel and Newport-News have very convincing Kors-inpired dresses. I think I could make dress #4 my own and rock it out at a summer wedding with bold red accessories (why not, right?!). Would you wear one?
