I'm constantly asked about the blouses I use in my Wardrobe Wednesday flat lays and feature ruffled necklines because they are such staples for layering under cardigans, crewnecks, or jackets! The majority of mine have come from J. Crew, who always seems to have a selection of these cute tops, especially in the spring. A simple white or ivory blouse is a must-have for any closet, but this round up includes many other color options as well!
1//Mixed Media Ruffle Blouse ($44.99) This understated piece is framed in simple pleat ruffles at the neck
and sleeves and layers perfectly under a blazer! It comes in basic white and a stunning red,
as well as a muted olive green (priced slightly lower at $39.99).
2//Crown & Ivy Ruffle Top ($25.25) A simple popover top in cotton/rayon blend with a stand-up ruffle
neckline that peeks out under v-necks & jackets. This top also comes in a variety of spring-worthy colors like
turquoise, neon pink, lemon yellow and white!
3//Nine West Ruffle Blouse ($37.39) A great basic in both black and white, this flattering v-neck
is an ideal layering piece under cardigans or jackets, adding just a touch of feminine flourish to any outfit!
4//Ruffle Mockneck Shell ($49.50) A fun dot print with ruffled neckline is perfect for adding a dash of pattern
and this works so well under bright colors or a simple black blazer! The fluid poly knit is lightweight and drapey,
making this a fabulous layering piece.
5//J. Crew Ruffle Crepe Tank ($19.99) No one does closet basics better than J. Crew and this simple
sleeveless top is no exception! It comes in green, hot pink and a vibrant yellow ($24.99)
that are perfect for adding a dash of color this season.
6//Allegra K Polka Dot Blouse ($18.99) A smaller, subtle dot pattern is perfect for pattern mixing
and this sweet top features not only a ruffled neck, but slightly gathered puff sleeves as well.
Light enough to layer, but also wonderful on it's own...it's a definite closet workhorse!
It appears that the Five on Friday feature is quickly turning into six, but I wanted to provide lots of options for this versatile piece! Which is your favorite?
