Happy Tuesday, ladies! The week is underway, and Spring is officially here. The cherry blossoms have sprung in Athens, and the temps are hanging out in the 70s. We’ll take it, for sure. Hard to believe March is coming to a close. Where is the time going? (But I think that every year.) Time for some Ann Taylor, at least. I’m really feeling their Spring collection this year. Yesterday, we featured a tweed jacket/sheath dress combo. One reader said it had Jackie Kenndy vibes. I’ll take it. Today, we’re featuring a blue ruffle blouse I think you’re gonna like.
Blue ruffle blouse
Today’s OOTD pairs a chambray ruffle blouse from Ann Taylor (limited sizes, similar here and here) with a white denim skirt (old, similar here here and here). To add a little twist, I layered the blouse with a striped tee. You could argue it gives the outfit a bit of a conservative feel, but I like the visual interest the stripes add.
And you know me: hard to pass up the opportunity to add a color pop with accessories. This red camera handbag (old, similar here and here) and shoes (old, similar here and here) did the trick.

White denim skirt
Always love a denim skirt. So much so that it made my essential bottoms list this year. A white denim skirt (old, similar here here and here) is classic and will work with just about anything in your wardrobe. This one sits right above the knees but find a length that works for you.

Beautiful earrings
Love the combination very modern
Thank youG
I bought this denim ruffled blouse when you posted it with the white jeans. Like how you put it with the white skirt also and layered with the stripped tee. Such a cute outfit.
Love the red, white and blue. Always a classic combo that I enjoy wearing in all different forms. You look cute in this outfit, but for me, I’m not a fan of puff shoulder or sleeve tops/blouses or ruffles, so this blouse wouldn’t work for me.
I do like the deep rich color of the denim though. Pretty!
Oh my gosh — I bought this ruffled blouse last week! I think its trendy without being too prairie/cottage core.
Beth — thanks so much for your style suggestions. After 2 years of athleisure dressing, I’m having to re-learn how to dress myself for actual – not remote – socializing. I hate clothes shopping, but this blog has helped me curate my closet and purchase a few key items so that I have a wearable wardrobe that makes me feel stylish.
