Hasta La Ideas

Some of the most recognizable polka dot outfits haven’t adorned statuesque models on fashion runways but rather a very famous two-dimensional celebrity: Miss Minerva Mouse–you know her better as Minnie. This beloved Walt Disney character often sported polka dots on her frocks and well, she got her man didn’t she? Of course, I’m not suggesting that we should start taking our fashion cues from cartoon characters, but we shouldn’t discount the power of the polka dot either. They’re a sure-fire way to stand out among this season’s sea of strong graphic prints and well, they’re just good ol’ fashioned fun! And yes, this dotted pattern was named after the polka dance, but it’s perfectly acceptable to wear the fashionable spots even if you have two left feet. Just click the slideshow and pick your favorite from this collection of vintage polka dot finds.
