Friday's Fancies: Polka Dotted

I had actually been ignoring the polka dot trend (unintentionally) since the fall when I purchased at least 4 items (all from J.Crew) that sported this fun pattern in a variety of different colorways.

For me, spring has always been about stripes (not that I don't wear them year round) but I can't get this dainty jacquard polka dotted peplum from Club Monaco's newest bunch of arrivals out of my head. It's so adorable and sunny that it was begging to be paired with a fun summer short (can't take away my stripes!

Can you tell I'm willing the temp to push 60 degrees today? (come on, Boston, you can do it!).
