This weeks Trend Spin Link Up at Walking In Memphis In High Heels is bows. Believe it or not, I really don’t own anything with a bow or bows on it, so I dug through my closet and came up with this top. It ties in the front, and that’s a bow, right?!
My favorite way to wear it is actually under a blazer when it’s cooler outside. Since I’m petite, but curvy with a short waist, the ruffles add width that I don’t really love. A blazer tapers it in and the lacy ruffles sticking out add a pretty touch. It is a nice top for summer though. It works equally well with a maxi skirt or denim shorts. Since there is a lot of volume up top, I paired it with one of my less voluminous maxis so there wasn’t so much going on.
I’m also linking up with the weekly Real Girl Style Link Up, Style Elixir: Style Sessions, and My Thrifty Chic Anything & Everything Blog Hop.
Style Tip: If you’re wearing something with a lot of volume on top, wear it with something more streamlined on the bottom and vice versa.
