Graphic prints are dominating the racks at some of my favorite stores, which has prompted me to search for a black and white polka dot blouse to pair with bold pants and skirts. I harbor equal affection for stripes and polka dots, but the cold hard truth is that on my body, polka dots are much more flattering than horizontal stripes. This isn&#8217;t true for all body types, but we can all enjoy a good polka dot shirt, right?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Like it.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Equipment shirts are extremely popular with their slouchy fit and high quality fabrics which makes this Adele shirt a seriously stylish option.
