For my second post about spring 2018 trends I am loving, I decided to focus on polka dots. The theme of bold patterns continues from my last article on stripes to this ever popular Minnie Mouse uniform. Polka dots are commonly a trend that comes and goes every few spring seasons and 2018 seems to be a spring that it is all around. Personally, I have always loved polka dots in the spring. This pattern can be playful and yet sophisticated, and timeless yet trendy. From the runway to real life, and at every price point, the polka dot pattern has definitely made it’s mark this season. Below are a few runway highlights of this spring 2018 trend. Scroll down further to learn how I have taken this trend to real life.

My Looks:
Although black and white seemed to be most dominant on the runway, I pulled together a few looks in a variety of colors for this post. Patterns range in all sizes from tiny pin dots to very large spots, and everything in between. As with all my looks, I have paired very affordable pieces with some luxury accessories, and took this trend from over-the-top runway to 40 year old mom chic. Below are my looks, followed by several other polka dot pieces currently available for under $100.
