I am a huge fan of accenting neutrals with fun pops of color, like the mint, fuschia, and red in this outfit. (Point in case, here is another example of how I’ve recently paired neutrals with pops of color!) Remember, just because polka dots themselves seem anything but neutral, the colors- white and black in the case of this shirt- work to neutralize the full impact of the dots. (Note: This shirt, when worn with a different pairing (black pencil skirt or a black suit), could suddenly become much more work friendly! And if you are feeling a little daring you could throw a dash of color in with a skinny belt or a great shoe!)
