It’s easy to get bogged down fashion-wise when trudging through the last freezing gasps of winter. It seems post-holiday trends call for a dotty solution to February blues! So why not bury the all-black ensembles and opt for polka-dotted pieces to help ring in spring and say goodbye to snow? Little ones can banish cold-weather melancholy in a pinch by connecting the dots to power play with patterns.
