I Like Big Ruffles

I like big ruffles and I can not lie!

Should I just leave it at that?!!!

I think I will :)

J/K I have to say a little bit ... I LOVE this one shoulder big ruffled top soooo much because not only does it make a splashing statement, it's perfect for dressing up or causal. For example, I wore it tucked into a high waisted a-line white eyelet skirt to church this past Sunday and that afternoon I wore it untucked over a pair of white shorts for a 1st birthday party.

AND you don't necessarily have to wear a strapless bra. You can just tuck one of the straps inside the bra and you'll have more support and less tugging. One of many reasons why one shoulder designs are my favorite!

Oh and it's hot pink seersucker striped.

And how cute is this basket vase bag?!!!!
I adore the handle and unlike some of the popular ones it allows you to carry it in your elbow for use of both your hands.

The fabric tie lining is a sweet, vintage touch.

Shoulders & Seersucker

Every year just before Easter I get all excited about bringing my favorite light weight fabrics in their fresh light colors out of storage. I smile as I hang each piece back in my closet remembering the occasion and memories I made in it the year before. My seersucker suit is one of those special and distinct pieces that I treasure.

Seersucker is the Southerner’s signature summer swag. The seersucker suit is a staple for church and weddings in the warmer months, not only for keeping cool in cotton vs wool but for its pastel stripes.

I think that most think of the seersucker suit is for the menfolk and a sundress for the gals. I mean let’s be honest I do have a seersucker sundress but I also love a good set.

The key to embracing the suit as a lady is to opt for a dress and/or skirt as opposed to pants. Yes, you must have pant suits but embrace the feminine side and add variety. Especially in the summer, we are made of sweet sugar that melts!

I like to get the most out of my investments and the key to doing so is to separate the pieces for endless outfit options.

For this look I took the skirt from my seersucker suit and paired it with THE hottest trend right now, an off the shoulder top.

An instant weekend look that’s casual yet very polished. I swapped out the heels I would normally wear with my suit for wedges.

I love this blouse for its short sleeves and the option to not show your shoulders by pulling the neckline up for those occasions where you might want more coverage or ease of movement.

Gals, get creative and mix up your classic and trendy pieces!
