Dots and Checks- Spring 2018

Spring is here but I don't know if the weather got the memo for some places who are still getting snow and winter-like weather. Hmmmm! Global Warming I guess.

So regardless of the weather, act like you're enjoying the change of season. Spring is about new life, bright colours and fresh beginnings and these 2 styles are back within a year to be apart of the season's styles- The polka dot and the checkered Gingham print.

Polka dot
The origin is still not known as many fashion gurus derive many theories of its creation but what is known is that it came out in fashion as early as the 1800s! Now these dots are seen everywhere on anything from clothing to shoes, accessories etc and come in various sizes.

Gingham
Originally shipped to England from India in a stripped print in the 17th century, when England started manufacturing the print itself it became the weaving of 2 different coloured threads in a checkered pattern. Like the polka dot, gingham also comes in varied squares.

These styles surfaced not too long ago last year and for some of you, you may not have to go futher than your closet or drawers to rep one of these styles for Spring.
As always, Have Fun and Be creative! This is FASHIONISTA NEWZ!
