Polka dots
 has dominated the spring/summer 2012 runways.It has made a huge comeback with famous designers such as Diane Von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs offering spotted dresses ,pants and silk blouses.The print is often associated with retro 1950s  pin-up girls is a perfect complement to the femine trend.
But like any pattern you have to match its size to your body shape.The bigger and brighter the dot the less forgiving it is.Large dots will overwhelm petite frames or make slighty plum girls to look even plum,so I would suggest to go for smaller print such as pin dots.For those who are lean or lanky can afford to go for bigger dots as the round  print makes your figure look fuller.
If you are a novice start small such as by wearing polka dotted accessories.I suggest picking one signature piece and work your look around there.
You can wear a pair of polka dots sokings under a simple black to add a dash of quirkiness without going over the top.Or tie a polka dot scarf over your head but keep the rest of your outfit neutral tones to balnce the cute;girly look.
Pair it with bottoms in a brighter colour such as bright blue or red to keep your outfit from looking dull.Balance the peplum detail with slim cut pants .
If  you want to wear a blue polka dot dress avoid wearing red shoes and a hair band .The look is too retro and might ending up looking like minnie mouse.You can give it a modern spin by wearing a motocycle jacket.
