Choose what colour polka dot that suits you. Add a plain belt to add a nice balance to the outfit. The belt colour normally is the same as the polka dot.
Your shoes should not be too detailed or complicated. Keep it simple and use a solid colour.

Be inspired by the images below, high street shops like River Island, House of Fraser, Paul Smith and the jeans at Paige at Fare fetch were brilliant.
Louise Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama
Louis Vuitton window displays were very quirky, way back in 2012 displaying polka dots. They are a brand that loves to collaborate with artists. This week LV have teamed up with 94 year old Japanese artist called Yayoi Kusama. Famously known for being the princess of polka dots. All around the shopping malls of Asia including the new mall in Bangkok, Icon Siam. Polka dot madness has taken over at the French houses.
In her own words, like art, fashion can entice inspiration, help with mental health disorders and bring joy.
Her flare for artistic philosophy and thoughts is all stemmed as a child. Kusama, suffered hallucinations always seeing polka dots. She later in life booked herself into a psychiatric hospital in Tokyo and has lived there ever since. Her obsession with dots is also about creating her own style. Her niche look is piercing eyes, bold red bob and wearing infinite dots. Her own personal mise en abyne sartorial style. Which is an extension of her mental health issues throughout her life. turning her chaos into art is a brilliant example of how she has used a negative force into an empowering artist.
