Trendy Tuesday: All about the ruffles

Nordstrom
Ditsy Floral Print Minidress

Spring’s gorgeous weather has inspired us to wear equally romantic ensembles to match the season’s sweet blossoms and breezes.

Lucky for us, the trend is easy to wear and easier to mix with your favorite basics to add a little delightful flourish to jeans, sneakers and t-shirts.

Feminine details like ruffles and gathered smocking were all over the runways this season, and are now prominent in many stores.

We love the breezy feel of these pieces, and the way they add elements of femininity to any outfit.
