Polka Dots

I’ve realised I love polka dots. I used to hate them. They always evoked images of bows, perfectly coiffed hair, Mary Janes and full skirts  - a look to which I am allergic. I bought an oversized polka-dot top in Top-shop a couple of seasons back and have worn it with everything. I am super polka-dot sensitive now and I’ve noticed the spots spreading onto boys – there is no magic ointment to cure this one, it’s airborn and it’s spreading fast.

It was with great delight that I discovered the dotty folk in the Libertine SS10 video. Ok so there’s something sickeningly “just look gorky/nerdy but still sexy” direction but I really like the range and the dotty sexual cross-overs. After seeing so many slashes and gashes throughout AW, it’s nice to see some clean lazer-cut holes.
