Polka Dots for Fall

Summer is Over!

I know you're questioning why I added an exclamation point to that statement. But trust me, it is worthy, and here's why:

Fall fashion!
My trip to Italy in October!
Fall fashion!!
I'm moving into my new apartment in Jersey City at the end of October!
Halloween! Thanksgiving!
Um...Have I mentioned FALL FASHION?

Guess which one of those I'll be talking about today? Yeah, tough one...

So everyone knows that patterned/colored denim is huge right now. A twist on this that I'm starting to see more and more is polka dots. Not tiny little demure office-appropriate dots, but big, bold, fun, statement making ones.
They work surprisingly well as a neutral piece or they can be the statement-maker if your style is a little more laid back. Those two possibilities are my favorite thing about this whole pattern's/80's moment: colors and patterns that used to be impossible to find and seemed a little kooky when worn are now readily available and acceptable. But...I suppose that's also the downside. Without personal touches, the originality of the look is lost.

Ok Ok I'll shut up now.

I tried to find the original source for each picture (IE: Where the items can be purchased) but only had luck with a couple of them. I'll update if I'm able to find more of the items!
