There's a new trend emerging as a strong contender for my favourite look of Spring/Summer 2010 - ruffles. That's right, I said ruffles. (See Chloe, D&G and Valentino.)
I must admit, I haven't always been a fan of the flouncy femininity of ruffles. Especially when you consider that, for most women, ruffles can be seriously hard to wear without appearing to be as well rounded as your taste in music!

The key to wearing ruffles is to combine the softness of the ruffle with the structure of something tailored - lean jeans, a boyfriend blazer, an edgy pair of boots - and to find a piece that works well with your body shape
And if you're not sure what will work well with your body shape? There's always this beautiful bag.
If you want to play along pop on over to see Katherine and leave your link love there so everyone can stop by and take a peek!
Yes, I've felt ruffles edging into my consciousness just these past few weeks and indeed I think I'll be quite receptive. I'd certainly wield that bag and feel like Grace Kelly.
ReplyDelete"as well rounded as your taste in music" - LOVE IT! The bag is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI can't resist ruffles. I really can't. They're so cute, so fun. That blouse is beautiful, and the colors you've chosen are gorgeous! What a lovely collage.
ReplyDeletecor, you're a little fashion guru! Ruffly fashion is wonderful, it reminds me of France...Marie Antoinette. <3
ReplyDeleteI've totally fallen for the bag and the colours you chose for the LO.

I never thought I'd be a ruffles person, but you know what? I *heart* that blouse :-)

ReplyDeleteblouse me silly. And I wonder what the purse would look like in super size?
ReplyDeleteJoyce - Probably a bit like a pillow?
