I loved them a few years ago than stopped wearing them for a matter(?) and only&nbsp; craving them again now end of winter (but even before seeing your post!). I very much loved to see your way of using them -kind of very Angiesque! And how cute is Sam-I'll have to eat him up, I'm afraid!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096724 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 15:23:37 +0000 Angie 2096724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for showing us, ladies. Your dots made me smile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096643 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 03:54:47 +0000 Jaime 2096643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these dots make me happy! Angie those are stunning family pictures. I will look around, I know I have a number of dots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096612 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 00:43:43 +0000 CarolS 2096612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only one with polka dot pants? Two pair. Both wide leg crops. One pair is quite flowy with small dots and a little ruffle at the bottom. The other is a bit more substantial (but still light weight), with large dots. They're my faves. I don't really have a waist to let me wear a fitted top with them, so I have been experimenting with finding loose tanks and tees that hit me at a reasonably flattering spot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096591 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:59:20 +0000 MsMaven 2096591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like polka dots but have a hard time finding ones I'm comfortable in. I'm a medium contrast person.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 Boden dress bought 2 years ago. This is ideal for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>#2-3 I think a Tommy Hilfiger shirt I used as a kind of jacket. Too low contrast for me. I tried to jazz it up with strips. Ugh.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4&nbsp;favorite wool scarf bought in Paris 5 years ago.</p> <p>#5 Freya tankini, several years old. I have a black/white one and a red/white same style. </p> <p>#6 Tahari skirt bought on final sale at Last Call in October. Too tight in waist, but fits now. Lightweight, so will wear in summer I hope. We'll see how I like high contrast on my bottom half.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have some 2-tone gray polka dot socks. Haven't been wearing them, but I found them today. Later in the year I'll look for some polka dot summer scarves to wear on a cruise. (Dermatologist orders--keep back of neck covered.)</p> <p>I had an inexpensive Lands End navy and white polka dot turtleneck which I donated. Too high contrast, and my turtleneck days are over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096498 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 16:07:07 +0000 DonnaF 2096498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to show two pairs of dotty shoes that I ordered and returned. Both come in Wide. The first was fairly comfy but cut across my bunion so sadly a no go. The second was too wide and not warm and dressy enough. The fabrication makes them stiff and unforgiving so they need to fit from the beginning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096492 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 15:19:57 +0000 LaPed 2096492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My polka dots are below! I just wore the spotty cardi a couple days ago over a column of black and my olive/white Vans. The Boden dress is a super easy one-and-done summer outfit. I wear it with flat sandals or sneakers and usually with a white denim jacket or cotton sweater on top.</p> <p>Navy/white and black/white polka dots feel a little too prim or twee for me; these earth tone versions are easier for me to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096490 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 15:13:31 +0000 Anonymous 2096490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lot of dotty love. I realized after the blog post that I have nothing with polka dots for cold weather. I have worn the skirt with a sweater but that piece, which I am very fond of, will no longer work at the waist, nor will several of the dresses..<br /> I want to add more pattern to my high winter wear. A polka dot sweater or warm scarf would be welcomed<br /> To the finds I need to add another light weight scarf that is navy with white dots and another summer top that is mesh and sleeveless ( good for very hot days) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096469 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 13:52:51 +0000 Eliza 2096469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing all the dots. Many great collections here and though I have had very few polka dot wardrobe items, seeing others in them makes me smile. </p> <p>In honor of my fellow YLFers, I am going to sport my 1 relevant item this weekend: black knee socks with small white dots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096467 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 13:34:26 +0000 Helena 2096467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great collection! I think the only dots I have right now are on my Dillon blouse ... They are not true solid polka dots, bit they are dot-esque </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096392 Fri, 31 Jan 2020 22:49:41 +0000 MsMary 2096392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh you guys!

To me, it looks easy to style with other items in blue and green plus white. They could be as simple as a tee and Birks plus perhaps a small necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-the-polka-dot-party/page/2#post-2096365 Fri, 31 Jan 2020 21:18:47 +0000 Barbara Diane 2096365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie!

Let's move to So Cal.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Notsaf</b>, I like random polka dots too! But the regular ones are beautifully geometric in a regimented way, which appeals to my OCD gene.
