If you payed attention to the latest fall, spring and resort 2011 shows,  you know patternsare making a comeback in a big way. Not one to lean towards minimalistic trends,  I'm obviously ecstatic about the re-emergence of loud, in-your-face prints. Of all the designs to come down the runway, polka dots are my favorite. Ultra-classic and exceptionally versatile, polka dots can go from punk-rock to sweet 50s housewife to sexy pin-up girl with a quick cut and color change. How will you wear this hot pattern from spring to summer and all the way into next year? Check out our gallery for tons of great ideas.
