Put a Ruffle on It!

Welcome to an all new Stylish Monday Global Link-Up Party, featuring looks put together by “real women”, within the International Blogger Community. For this months style prompt, we decided to have some fun and challenge ourselves to style one of this season’s hottest trends…ruffles! Flirty and fun, ruffles add a touch of femininity to any outfit, which is something I’m looking for these days. Whether it’s an extra flounce on a dress or skirt or a big ruffle on top, give it a try and enjoy a little extra spring in your step all day long! Once you take a look at what looks we’ve put together to share with you today, we’d love for you share what YOU are wearing and posting these days, in our Global Link-Up Party at the bottom of today’s post.

10 More Outfit Ideas to Browse:

Brigitte – Brigitte Marie Foret Blog & @brigittemarieforet on Instagram – I love incorporating ruffles into my everyday looks, because they add a subtle femininity to any outfit. Ruffles possess the ability to transform any basic garment into an elevated statement piece. Whether worn during the week, or for a special occasion, ruffles are definitely an element of clothing that I enjoy wearing.

Lucy – Lucy Bertoldi.com Ruffles are fashion’s way of telling you not to take styling too seriously- lighten up!  loving this ruffle theme- so freeing (and it also helps that this blouse is in my very favourite Spring colour)!

 

Andy – Pearls and Pantsuits (MORE HERE) ” I’ll confess, ruffles aren’t exactly my thing, since I don’t really need any extra fluff on my already fluffy pear shaped body! This top has a delicate ruffle detail around the wrist, and the floral print adds the touch of romance that is so big this season.”

 

Julie – Fashion Trends and Friends and Instagram FashionTandF (MORE HERE) |”Ruffles add details and interest!  I’m all about them both big and small. They make an impact and elevate an outfit!”

Amy – Amy’s Creative Pursuits(MORE HERE) “I always like it when clothing items have a little extra detail added to them.  The ruffle on the bottom of this chambray skirt is flirty and fun!  It wouldn’t be as interesting if it was just a typical A-line skirt.”

Nancy –  Nancy’s Fashion Style  (MORE HERE) “This is my beloved ruffle blouse. It’s a old one and I don’t wear it often, but those ruffles are so perfect to me. And I love the color combination and the kind a preppy look, but the punky feel that the blouse gives me. I need a black one too, of course. But this one, although it’s not my favorite color, has the perfect ruffles. The only thing that I need from a black blouse are ruffles at the cuffs! So if you happen to see one, give me a sign!

 

Shelbee – Shelbee on the Edge (MORE HERE) “I don’t have a lot of ruffled things in my wardrobe, but I do love the dramatic flounce that can often be found in kimono styles. Big flared bell sleeves and a wide flounce at the bottom of a mixed pattern kimono paired with a denim mermaid skirt seemed to fit the theme this month.

Nicole – High Latitude Style “I am not a ruffle person. Thus, this dress is just a tryout of the current trend. The plan was to cut the ruffle off if I wouldn’t like it. I am still undecided whether to cut or not to cut it off. What do you think?

Ada – Elegance and Mommyhood (MORE HERE) ” This lovely yellow dress has been in my closet for over a decade (it’s by Express). I wore it to our Florida vacation last year. Since the “challenge” was all about ruffles and flounce I decided to go full steam with this fully-ruffled dress. It reminds me a little bit of the 20s from a century ago..”

Emma – The Style Splash (MORE HERE ) ” I love ruffles and frills – especially on blouses – because they add a bit of drama to an outfit. I bought this red one a few years ago in a sale and never get bored with it.”
