Polka Dots at work

Yes, you can pull them off without looking like you should still be in pigtails. The key to this is keeping the polka dots a) proportional and b) kept in a simple color palate. Polka dots are a trend this spring, so its tempting to add them to your work wardrobe, but be sure to do so with only 1 or 2 pieces.

Keep the proportions in check by making sure that the dots aren't too big or small for the piece of clothing. In skirts they should be medium size from about 1"-2" in diameter. Don't go any smaller or bigger. In shirts, the polka dots should be small and shouldn't exceed 1".

Secondly, keep the color palate simple. Stay with neutrals such as navy blue, tan, or grey. I am always a fan of doing black and white & accenting with red accessories.
