Would you wear it? The Polka Dot Cardigan

Urban Outfitters BDG Polka Dot Cardigan – $38.00

It looks nice and fitted, the V dips the absolute perfect amount, and believe it or not it’s made in the U.S.A.

Dots get a bad wrap.  Birdseye is a great pattern.  Pin dots are terrific.  And these polka dots are far from the twister sized circles the rent-a-clown wore on his outfit at your 5-year-old niece’s birthday party.

It’s a cotton poly blend but that has to be outweighed by the Made in the U.S.A. label.  That and the poly will help keep it from shrinking up.  Also, cardigans are like sport coats and blazers.  Keep em’ buttoned as much as possible and don’t let those sides fly like the model does on the U.O. website.

But would you wear it?  Or is it… y’know… a little too Father Know’s Best?

Your take goes in the comments below.
