Polka dots is something I associate with the New Year. In the past, silly old me would end up with a top or dress (make it a frumpy house dress) with polka dots in them, along with jingling coins in my pocket at the stroke of 12:01. As the oldies would say, no harm in wishing yourself good luck. Now it seems polka dots are no longer a New Year thing as designers go in full gear to make them the trend this season.
