Enter the Red Polka Dot Ruffled Petite Pettiskirt. An obvious choice for the holidays with its festive red and playful white dots, but an article that will get a lot of mileage at the end of the day. Multiple holiday parties to attend? Wanna keep this petti looking fresh come Valentine’s Day? Two coordinating tops give your girl stylish options. Who needs that black dress after all?
