Polka dots (and prints) can feel intimidating for a beginner.
Wheres a good place to start?
I used to be very hesitant about wearing prints, so I feel the struggle!
The best way to ease yourself into a print like polka dots is to add them in with accessories.
What are some of your favorite ways to wear polka dots/prints?
Sheer and mesh tops adorned with polka dots are such a cool way to make polka dots feel luxe.
Right now, Im also loving very techy/colorful prints on jeans.Jaded Londonhas some of my favorites.
What throw in of outfit do you feel your best in?
I always start with one piece that Im trying to highlight as the focus.
As a challenge, I venture to add at least three layers for added dimension.
How do you use fashion to help you feel confident on an off day?
Wearing something slightly bolder than I normally would always takes my mind off my troubles.
Theres nothing like getting compliments from strangers to boost your mood on a rough day.

Ive been experimenting so much more with enhancing my outfits with accessories.
