Our Latest Street-Style Obsession Has Us Seeing Spots

By Kelley Hoffman

From Minnie Mouse to a preggers MIA, there has been no shortage of pop-culture-referenced polka-dot sightings. From blazers to tights, this cheerful print has been making its way through the city streets, from Sydney to London. To us, it's so classic, perky, and a bit girlish, polka-dots are a refreshing contrast to all the rips, frays, and exposed looks we've been seeing lately (even Erin Wasson's jumped on the polka train!). Check out some of our other favorite style bloggers and street-snapped shots to show off how dots are done the right way.
