STYLE

Girly ruffles are cropping up everywhere! They add cool volume to a borrowed-from-the-boys blouse and a bit of pop to an already hot halter. Keep  your accessories low-key (we love cuffs this season) to avoid bein' over the top. If your outfit is too frilly, you might end up looking like a princess—and not in the good way. Check out a few of our faves.

Pair this blouse black or white with a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of cute flats and VOILA the perfect outfit for school or dinner out. Make sure to add bold accessories, like a bright cuff or a pretty headband.

Old Navy Racerback Ruffle Tank, $6, oldnavy.com

This tank comes in a bunch of colors, so stock up! Pull it on over another tank or wear it under a light spring jacket. Throw on your fave jeans and sneaks if you wanna be casual or dressy jeans and flats for date night!
