Kelly’s Chic Under $100: Polka Dots.

the best polka dot pieces - under $100! // kelly's chic under $100, the stripe blog

I think polka dots often get a bad reputation. They’re repetitive and maybe little bit juvenile*, but they’re really so, so cool and feminine. I’ve been a little addicted to them this season.

The print is a classic, and pairs as well with solids as it does with prints (like stripes, big florals, or abstracts). Today I’ve rounded up a TON of the best polka dot pieces in adult silhouettes that will amp up your late winter wardrobe. This is a case where the textures make a big difference… think silky chiffon, studded leather, sheer fabrics, and even gold stamping!

Particularly of note: this Zimmermann top (on sale!), these great studded Topshop booties, and a pretty silk scarf from none other than the classic J.Crew. Enjoy!

Xx

*Note from Grace: I LOVE polka dots! Ignore this comment! Or don’t, maybe they are a little juvenile, but there’s nothing wrong with dressing like you’re twelve.

    I’m still on the edge about polka dots. On one hand, I find them tacky. But on the other hand, I can’t deny they’re definitely mood-lifters.

      They aren’t for everyone! I personally just love them and think they’re actually quite classic, but it depends upon your personal style. 🙂 x

    This is such a great edit! I love polka dots and have been trying to incorporate more of them into my wardrobe. That black ruffled blouse above is my favorite.
