Polka Dots



Since certain trends will soon appear in the stores and magazines, it's helpful to get some guidelines in advance. According to Melissa Magsaysay, "Your Stylist" in the Los Angeles Times, polka dots will be a major trend in 2011. Some of you think "oh goody" while others, including my friend Stacy's husband, groan loudly. As usual, my advice is to wear what you like and what feels good on you. Small polka dots can look too girly for some, so wear them with jeans or edgier other pieces to tone that feminine part down. I like Magsaysay's suggestions: "stay out of the cartoon territory, wear them on garments they complement--such as sweaters, '40s-style dresses and feminine blouses--and avoid those they don't--such as mini-skirts, leggings, or tights."
