You know how we feel about high waisted pants but what of the ruffle?
On the face of it, Ruffles appear fairly harmless.
We're seeing versions of the above at all the standard chains. Kept at a minimum, the embellishments don't scream frilly, girly, or Nana's apron. They don't scream but they do whisper and this, dear friends, is a problem.
Ruffles run counter to our aesthetic of clean, modern, simple and never overtly feminine. It's a quick hop skip and a jump from "this is such a fun cute girly top" to "I am a former homecoming queen from Central Ohio." This danger abounds in all facets of life. A ruffled bed skirt?
Indefensible. This is straight out of our Laura Ashley is coming to get us and she's really p*ssed off nightmares (yes, we have those). Ruffles are messy, extraneous, and unnecessary.
We admit, this trend may fall in the realm of borderline viable on none but the savviest among us, but when you wake up realizing you're outfitted as a tiered layer cake.
Don't say we didn't warn you.

Does anyone else think that the last image in this post looks like the ice skating outfit Chloe crafted during season two of Project Runway? Yes? No? Okay.
