BLACK RUFFLE TOP

March 25, 2016

As an ultra-girly girl, I have always embraced things like ruffles, bows and lace, so when I spotted this oversized black ruffle top, I couldn’t wait to style it. Ruffles are a big trend for spring, gracing everything from hems and sleeves of tops like this one, to skirts and dresses to add feminine flair. I especially loved this black top because of the sheer volume of it (it literally is a twirly top – it sways as you walk or move!) and the shiny, thick fabric. The top is sold as one size fits all because of the oversized nature of it. I’ve linked more ruffle tops at the bottom of this post.

To style the top, I wanted to dress it down for a fun weekend look with these cutoff distressed shorts. Distressed shorts are also trending this spring and summer season and I absolutely love this pair by Blank NYC that I found for under $100. They fit just perfectly and are the perfect not-too-short length. To add some fun pops of color, I started with this amazing beaded statement necklace in mint by Baublebar (under $40!) I love the layered look of the beaded necklace and the color is amazing. Then I added this gorgeous and oh-so-colorful bracelet stack by Baublebar to create a fun arm party. For one more color pop, I paired these fun fuchsia sandals by Aldo. With all the color my jewels and shoes provided, I stuck with neutrals for the remainder of the outfit in this gorgeous chain crossbody bag by Kelly Wynne.
