Polka Dots, part 2

Polka dots are such fun, I wanted to show how unconventional or unusual uses of the pattern can be just as beautiful.

This Calvin Klein is pretty straightforward, but the mix of colors makes it interesting.  It's very summery/beachy, but could be dressed up with strappy sandals and big earrings, or toned down with a cardigan and pumps.

This ModCloth dress has combination of big dots on the skirt and the pieced top of solid and dotty navy fabric.  Of course, these two dresses are still in the girly category.

Now there's something a little different.  The polka dots here give the casual shapes some shape and interest.

Now for some drama!  More dramatic designs and color choices, and the dots add depth.

Finally, how about dots as an accent?  The polka dots on this dress are noticeable on the cuffs and collar, but also very subtly show through the sheer floral layer.  Cute dress, but not something the screams "polka dots" at you.  Sometimes just a little is all that you need.
