Resort 2016 Trend: Ruffle Alert

Be still my ruffle-loving heart! When I opened my Women's Wear Daily yesterday and saw the fabulous pink ruffle above, I just about fell over! Gorgeous much?! One of the trends that is going to be huge in Resort 2016 collections is ruffles, and this southern belle couldn't be happier! Ruffles are that perfect combination of flirty and sweet (depending on how you accessorize) and no matter what they add an air of whimsy to any look. This is how I feel about it: #givemeallofthem

When it Doesn't Work for You

Today I want to talk about a little discussed topic… when trends don't work for you! I picked up this J. Crew button up on super-clearance after seeing it all over the web being worn in the "half-tucked/half-untucked" trend. I loved that slouchy cool look and was pumped to pull it off for myself! But y'all I'm going to be real honest, when I half-tucked my shirt I just looked a fool! I don't know what happened, but somehow on my frame the trend just fizzled out. Boo! But you know what? I loved it on me untucked and fancy-free! So I tell you this to say, that trends are fun for inspiration, but at the end of the day you have to wear what make you look and feel as fabulous as you are! :)

So here is the trend gone wrong! Enjoy these silly pictures :)
