If I should ever book a flight to Barcelona on a whim one summer – carry-on slung effortlessly over one shoulder, bags in hand, with a sexy Spaniard accompanying me – then I shall wear this. I have quite the predilection for all things o f f – t h e – s h o u l d e r s (as many of you have witnessed). But with ruffles? I swoon! With one end tied in a knot to reveal a bit of a tanned midriff, and paired with loose, jersey-knit balloon pants – the look is altogether quite exotic and carefree. Wavy tousled hair, a leather cross-body bag on one shoulder, and strappy sandals for the day, finished with piles of gold chinas the leather bracelets. Substitute the bag with a clutch, and sandals for a pair of strappy heels for the evening. Je l’adore!
And why my obsession with ruffles? They epitomize femininity as a sophisticated take on a girlish, but polished look. Layered for added dimension or an ethereal, cake-like appearance. The possibilities are endless!
On the hunt for: ruffled, off-the-shoulder tops and dresses, ruffled black bikini
Mmm, and ruffled shoes…
. . .
Bisous,
La C.
I have a black dress cut exactly like that sweater. It has seen many a cocktail party. Feminine, but with an air of menace. Love it. ~Mary
I love Barcelona! was there in march and would mind to come back again now!
and ruffles with strappy sandals seems like the best way to dress there right now!

I love it! She looks so -relaxed- in that outfit, ready to stroll through a street market somewhere exotic. I also want a bathing suit with ruffles :~)
I am in absolute love with the Louboutin heels. Love them…
I simply adore ruffles! Today, I wore a hot pink knit top with ruffles and round, pink buttons down the front. 🙂
I love ruffles! I have a ruffle liberty skirt, it’s so cute.

Hello La C. I love that photo. That outfit looks great. I’d love to go to Barcelona. I especially do since watching Vicky Christina Barcelona recently.
Nice! I love the look of big, almost architectural ruffles lately.

Oh my, she looks absolutely stunning. Love that top, and the fit of those trousers is amazing!! Yum, the ruffled Louboutins are sooo gorgeous.
that off the shoulder sweater is so gorgeous!
You’d totally love BCN. I’ve always lived here, but still, sometimes I surprise myself looking at the buildings and falling a little bit more in love with the city. Maybe I should make a post of the city.. I don’t know lol
Btw, I absolutely adore the ruffle shirt, if only I know where to find an affordable one…
xx
Swoon, perfect outfit! Is that you? And I too adore ruffles, use to hate them as a child and now I embrace them!
XOXOXO

I hope you’ll forgive me for being late and catching up! I was dealing with some “not woman but GIRL drama” hence my other post with some demented chick… (i’m too to old for that crap) so please forgive my lateness!
