FROM THE ARCHIVES: Fabulous Fashion Friday, Feb. 10th: Let's Polka Dot!

Happy Friday ladies! Today I am focusing on one of my favorite prints: the Polka Dot. I’ve always been a polka dot kind of girl, and with all the different variety of spots, you can surely find one that works itself into your style as well!

#1- Sweet Spots
For a sweet, yet casual look, I started with a spotted over-sized top and layered it over a little black mini dress. This is a great way to wear a statement top in a more formal way if it's a tad too short for leggings on its own. Paired with some lovely textured tights and a spring boot, this outfit is Party ready!

In today's post we are showcasing Kick It's brand new Spring arrival: The Medici Frontier Boot, handmade in Romania  with Italian leather ($156).  The soft, cognac color is so Springy!

Notice how the flattering shape of the blouse elegantly billows around the figure, anchored by the mini pencil hem of the dress, making this outfit a little out of the ordinary. 
I feel the textured dotted tights I put on her leg links the whole look together.
They soften the mini so it look more sophisticated.

Wearing a huge necklace with big round gemstones can help bring the spotted outfit together.

#2- Ready for Dancin' Dot-
If you want to spice things up a little bit for a night on the town, a bolder, larger polka dot is your best friend. The large spots are eye catching with a mod "Go Go" dancer feel. 
Pairing boots and textured "dots" tights adds a bit of daring to this ultimately feminine top.
This mini camisol-dress ($36) is a must have when it comes to a polka dot lover because it features not only the large dots, but another layer of smaller dots peaking through the chiffon top layer. I love those simple details!
From the back, you can see the sexy drapes and ruffle of the tiny dots underlayer.
Again, mixed with a light-colored, lightly heeled boot makes for a perfect Date Night ensemble!

#3- Spunky in Spots
If you are a jeans kind of girl, this bold, Black &; White uniform spot top is the perfect mate for those blue jeans. the slit sleeves add a little bit of spunk to a casual and cute outfit.  

And from the side, you see how the billowy hemline floats over the skintight jeans

For spunk & attitude, I added a pile of bohemian wrap bracelets, by Katz Kouture. The pink, white, and black stones in the bracelets help the polka dots pop in a fun and funky way!
Find Katz Kouture wrap bracelets in every color under the sun at Ponytail Jewelry Studio.  (  ($32-$38))
Colorwise, the butterscotch Medici boots looks amazing with a pair of dark blue jeans tucked in! 
My model today is wearing her favorite Vigoss Denim darkwash skinnies ($58).

Whether it be a cute Friday night ensemble, a spicy date night dress or a spunky casual everyday look, polka dots can be a girl's best friend!

Vous ĂȘtes beau!
