J. Crew‘s awesome sister company, Madewell, has released their Spring 2012 lookbook, and we are totally in love! They’re touting loose-fitting, light-wash denim overalls, faded bell-bottoms, distressed boyfriend jeans, and, of course, their signature denim button-up shirt. Not to mention lots of polka dots, plaids, and touches of super bright pinks, yellows, and greens. Yes, yes, and OH yes! Come on, springtime!

While known for sourcing some of NYC’s downtown crowd’s most coveted vintage denim, What Goes Around Comes Around is also responsible for a core collection of handsome basics that pay homage to Americana style. The latest in their menswear collection revealed soft chambray button-down workshirts with subtle details like pin stripes, nautical anchors, and polka-dots. We can see these looking great under roomy wool sweaters or tailored vests.

We are loving this editorial out of the pages of Nylon Magazine lensed by Andrew Yee featuring some killer throwback 80s meets 90s pattern clashing looks. Our favorite pick includes a clever mix of florals, sexy polka dots, faux fur, and a pair of shredded denim short shorts. And though that’s pretty much the only denim used, we ain’t gonna lie we can’t get enough of the overall whimsical style of it all—gaudy accessories totally included. Check out the rest of the looks below!

Polka dots are all the rage for fall, but if you’ve been with us for more than a couple of scrolls you know we’re all about being ahead of the curve when it comes to style. We absolutely love this outfit by blogger Lisa D. who is rocking the fall trend to perfection. Her asymmetrical polka dot maxi skirt is a breathe of fresh air paired with an untucked denim shirt and chunky platform booties, which totally add the perfect hint of sexy edge. What’s event better about this look is that you can take it from day to evening in a second. Start by tucking the shirt in, throw on a boyfriend blazer in a neutral hue, grab an oversized envelope clutch and you’re all set! You’ll be ahead of the game in more ways than one!
