To borrow an adjective from Project Runway winner Christian (he so deserved to win!!) - polka dots are fierce. Just look at the model above - pair those typically innocent dots with killer red heels, diva high-waist shorts and a bright yellow patent clutch, and the result is most definitely fierce. Polka dots are a perennial springtime trend, but this time around, don't make your polka dots cutesy or frilly or sweet - make them fierce. Grrr!

for someone like me who usually fears polka dots, the bag and shoes are a really fun way to add them to my wardrobe! Especially liking the bag!

I saw someone yesterday wearing all somber black, carrying a polka dot umbrella. Made a great statement.

There are so many great polka dot pieces this season, I may have to do another post ...
