Ruffle your Feathers

April 30th, 2008

Typically, the combination of flowers and ruffles end up looking like an explosion of frilly proportions that is simply disastrous. Coincidentally, both looks are everywhere, so I’ve wondered whether pairing the two is now acceptable. This Oh Oklahoma Floral Print Dress is ridiculously feminine, yet the cooler colors keep it from going over-the-top. My favorite detail is the single ruffle that runs from the neckline to the hem, adding a unique touch to the dress, as well as a slimming affect. Though I think the lacy curtain backdrop is overkill for the photo, I think paired with the right edgy heels and a black leather jacket, this dress would be phenomenal on the city streets.

    Hi Emily,

    Geoffrey sent me the link to your blog and I am having a lot of fun will it. Love your fashion sense. The Blue boot page I have sent to a friend because they made me think of her when I saw them.
    I have not finished yet, but I will. I like what I see so far!
