"Spring is an exciting transition season," said Connie Marsh, Dots Director of Trend. "The winter cold breaks, temperatures rise and women can't wait to put something new and fresh on. Our spring line at Dots includes popular and affordable trends for every shopper."

Marsh says, "Customers can expect to see the following and more in the 2012 line."

• Color explosion- Colorblocking will continue to be a popular trend this spring thanks to high-octane brights. Dots encourages women to experiment by pairing colored denim with bright and bold basic tees or tanks for a wearable look.
• Versatile layering- From cropped denim to lightweight knit blazers, a versatile jacket can act as the ultimate layering piece to take you from the office to a night on the town.  
• Body-con(scious) dressing- Celebrate feminine shapes with body-con stretch knit skirts and dresses.
• Sheer Glory- The marriage of lace and sheer is perfection this spring. With the unique blend of soft and feminine with sexy and chic, pieces such as lace blazers and feminine sheer overlay dresses are this season's closet essentials.
• Mixed Prints- Stripes, the most popular runway pattern, were mixed on the spring runways with everything from florals to polka dots, or star prints.  Dots creates an everyday approach to mixing, and brings high-fashion style into any closet.
• Tribal Chic- An eclectic mix of tribal, ethnic and animal prints brings out a wild side and encourages Dots girls to have fun with their fashion.
