My new craving of the week is polka dots! Large dots, small dots, dots on dots and colorful dots. So many kinds, so many choices. This vintage style has made its way back into a current, top trend.
Dots are so classic and fun, I just can’t get enough of them. Here are 10 inspirations that are spot on with this dotted trend.
My most recent style obsession right now are backs with sass. Open backs, cute cutouts, bows, straps, low cuts and more. This playful new trend allows women to show off parts of their back in a fun way. Just make sure to expose the right amount of skin. If it’s low in the back, it doesn’t need to be low in the front.
Lace is flirty, girly, classy, and it’s blowing up the department stores right now. The key to rocking this hot style for summer is to pick one lace item whether it’s a dress, skirt, top, shoes or shorts to complete your outfit. Also, pick the right color & fit that coordinates with your body and style, and you’re good to go.
Here are 10 awesome lace-inspired looks to get excited about it!
