Nothing says feminine more than ruffles. It’s an accent that is truly a girlie girl’s dream, which is probably why I love it so much. Maybe I’m going a bit overboard right now but I feel like you can’t have too many ruffles in your wardrobe. Blouses and dresses are instantly dazzled up when a little frill is added on and jeans and shorts don’t look casual when you pair them with a ruffled top. Even though it’s everywhere right now, I don’t really see ruffles going away for a while. Here’s my proof…
About two years ago I bought a white button down blouse that had ruffles down the front. Okay so it is a little Prince in Purple Rain but I loved it then and two years later, even with ruffle overload, I love it even more. It’s a trend that has brought back a lady like quality to clothes and that will never grow old.
Have you given in to the ruffle mania trend?

this may sound a little elementary but adding ruffles really makes u feel pretty lol. My favorite is a ruffled colar on a button down shirt, it sets you apart from all of the stiff collars @ the office!

I love ruffles! Not only are they feminine as you said, but they are a great throw back to historical fashion (some of them look a little colonial even!) I actually wore a white ruffled top underneath a suit to a job interview once, and the interviewer immediatly commented on how well put-together I was.
Amost year later, I’m still working here:)
PS I love all the shirts that are posted above!

I love, love, love ruffles on shirts. I they are pretty and flirty and draws so much attention away from that plain old button down shirt. My bust is so large and I am so slim that the ruffles actually draw some attention away from my cleavage. PS I actually own the last shirt on the right….lol

Girl,
I may need to check out your closet! You were right when you said that it’s a girlie girl dream. I own one ruffled shirt but after this blog I will definitely be doing some shopping because one’s appearance can be completely transformed when just the right amount of frills are added.
