Tips on how to wear Polka Dots this Fall

• Wear traditional polka dot colors. Lime green and pink polka dots – while a cute combo for a 14-year-old – is a little overwhelming for women over 40. Opt instead for combos like navy and white, black and white, etc.

• Wear just one polka dot piece. Although designers showed head-to-toe looks, a little dot goes a long way. It's a great way to add some oomph to solid pieces.

• Try the polka dot trend in small doses. A polka dot scarf or bag is a perfect way to buy into the trend. Or try black dotted tights (tone-on-tone) for a textured look.

• Wear polka dots at home. If you're not ready to venture out in dots, try a polka dot apron (Etsy has lots) or pjs. You'll love what a fun, uplifting print this is. There are also lots of dot print pieces available now for your home decor, too. (article via Style Goes Strong)
