Blue Ruffles

Ever feel like baring your shoulders without going for the summer off the shoulder trend? I would try something completely strapless for a slightly different take on exposed shoulders. This blouse is the epitome of summer tops, with its blue and white striped pattern and ruffle detail. When paired with crisp white pants and nautical details, it belongs on a beach boardwalk. Did I mention that the blue ruffles are less than $13?

Everyone is on a fall fashion kick, but with our upper 90 degree temperature it’s impossible to contemplate wearing booties and thick fabrics; as much as I want to. So thin flowy fabrics are still on a roll in my book.

When I wear blue and white, I instinctively go for nautical accessories. I’ve been doing this for years, and can’t help myself. The blues feel so beachy to me, so a nautical theme is the perfect accent.
