ruffles

I can’t resist a tee shirt with ruffles on the sleeves. Whenever one catches my eye, I can’t help but take a closer look. I purchased this particular style from J.Crew about four years ago. It complemented my A-line skirts so well that I ended up with several of them: one in navy, one in pink, one in black with ecru stripes, and three in ecru with navy stripes. I’ve kept my eyes peeled for similar styles over the years, and I have to say, I haven’t found many that meet my standards. Actually, I’ve only purchased one other similar style (the J.Crew puff sleeve tee) since 2016. Pay attention to the details, no matter how small, when developing your personal style. You’ll become known for them.
