DOTTY DISCO

Unexpected way of depicting polka dots is expressed in this whimsical multi-wear accessory through the pairing of the fuzziest soft yarn along the large scale top-hole paillettes that provide a fun and exuberant way to brighten up and add texture to any outfit. Whether styled as a scarf or a shawl to keep your neck warm, or wrapped around your head as a kerchief for more utility, try styling it across your shoulder or hips to add a cozy edge.
