i've always been a fan of ruffles. many people don't care for them, but i think they're fantastic. they just scream girly and that's why i love them. ruffles also say sweet & sassy and that makes me smile. whether it's horizontal tiered ruffles or a single vertical ruffle, i'm a fan. some may disagree, but i think it's a look everyone can pull off. for someone looking to add volume, ruffles do a nice job giving a little pizazz to that area & for someone wanting to hide a problem area, it's the perfect camouflage. you can't go wrong with a ruffle up top. we've all got lovely faces & a ruffle around the neckline will draw attention right to that pretty, happy face. sometimes i want the conservative lady to spice things up a bit. for instance, instead of the classic white button up, opt for one with a ruffle down the front to add a little sassafras to the simple, chic look. on another note, i'm extremely partial to the tiered ruffle look. i think it works for just about any age & looks great in a dress or even a cotton tee. you can pay top dollar for one at a swanky boutique or find one in a color that pops at budget stores such as kohl's or wal-mart. i'm pretty sure most of you could care less about my ruffle obsession, so i'll bring this to a close. however, i do hope to see ruffles on the rise in 2009.
I am loving reading your blog--and for the fashion deprived (like myself) I might just learn a thing or two!
