I admit it; I have an obsession with polka dots. In fact, as I write this I am currently wearing a polka dot shirt. My makeup bag and wallet also feature polka dots, albeit different kinds. While I am aware this may be excess, I try not to overwhelm my look with them. There is, after all, a certain finesse to wearing polka dots; you do not want them to look too cutesy only a select few individuals can pull off the Mini Mouse look. 
People generally have articles of clothing with which they associate certain moments or events. I do not have a specific item, I have a clothing theme. I can measure important moments in my life with polka dot dresses. After moving from New York City to Long Island, I began my first day of kindergarten wearing a purple polka dot dress with green trim; I looked like a grape, not Barney. On my first day of working at a “real” job, I wore a polka dot blouse.
Although polka dots are generally considered a spring and summer pattern, they may easily transition into autumn and winter. You can wear a polka dot blouse or scarf, or even pair a polka dot dress with leggings or stockings. Come wintertime, I indulge my addiction by wearing a polka dot headband.
Polka dots are whimsical and fun, traits that should be in season year round.
