Ruffles Make Everything Better

Do you have ruffles in your closet yet? If the answer is no, you have to get out there and buy a piece or two or ten. Ruffles are a huge trend this season. Personally, I think they make everything look even more adorable. Looking extra feminine is in.

Asymmetric Top available at Zara- $39.90

Blue and Red Off the Shoulder Crop Top available at Pixie Market- $56

Exposed Zipper Ruffled Fit and Flare Dress available at Express- on sale for $48.93

Ruffle Sleeve Tee available at LOFT- $44.50

No matter your age, size, or shape, ruffles look good on everyone!

How will you wear this hot trend? 

Put On Your Party Pants

There is nothing more fun that pants with a cool (and sometimes bold) print on them. As someone that owns practically zero pairs of pants, I think I could definitely see myself getting a few of these patterned styles into my wardrobe.

Vine Street Crops by Greylin available at Anthropologie- $128

The Pixie Mid-Rise Ankle Pants available at Old Navy- on the sale for $22.97

Floral Slacks available at H&M- $19.99

Blue Stripe Slouch Trousers available at Topshop- $75

I want to know, what do you think about this trend? Will you be trying it this season? How bold will you go with your print???
