Ruffles....love 'em or hate 'em?

Ruffles are a trend that have come and gone over the decades, and it's one that I have always been a fan of.  Some people feel that ruffles are just all-together too much, but I disagree.  As usual it's all about how you put a look together as to whether or not it's going to work.  I believe you can be as reserved or over-the-top with this trend as you please, as long as it's styled right!

Ruffles can be added to any outfit, but if you're a little hesitant to try this trend, start small and just add a ruffled scarf to your outfit, and then try a jacket with a ruffled collar or hemline, and then slowly as you become more comfortable you can be a little more adventurous and try it on a dress, or skirt & blouse.  Or if you prefer just add a little ruffle detail like a shoulder ruffle.  There's a fine line between too much & too little so think carefully about how you piece this trend together.  If you're petite don't make the mistake of looking like the ruffles are overwhelming you, and equally if you're tall and statuesque chances are you can probably get away with a little more ruffle!  Proportions are everything!

Take a look at some of these looks and see what would work for you...but don't be afraid to give it a try!!
