(With my slouchy crops; too hot for the orange pants). Pics later today. It was surprisingly not too bad to iron (although I admit I'd probably have made j do it but he was out of town). Turns out the ruffles are basically big stacks of pleats so you can press the whole pile at once.<br /> Oh, and I feel like I should add that just because I forgot about it for a year doesn't mean I don't like it anymore... I do this all the time. I'm just disorganized! (And probably have more clothes than I need, but I like it that way.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339570 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:34:52 +0000 JAileen 1339570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute. I'd probably wear it with shorts, for nice casual events, such as a block party, etc. But it sounds as if you like it but don't love it. I really agree with Cocolion. As a thrifter, I would occasionally come across something I really loved. But the new item wouldn't work with my existing wardrobe. I would spend a lot of time and effort making it work. Why go to this effort if you already have a great wardrobe that works?</p> <p>BTW, I've only just come to this realization. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339568 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:29:18 +0000 jackiec 1339568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Denise!</p> <p>And lets see it with your orange pants for sure!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339548 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 13:55:42 +0000 Janet 1339548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with viva and Denise -- I don't think it's necessarily dated for your boho leanings, but is it too much of a PITA to work with? Is it great for completing an outfit, or is the ironing issue getting in the way of its usefulness? I don't have a lot of patience for ironing either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339531 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:52:26 +0000 Caro 1339531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're not the first one to ask this question recently. The colour is great, you can't go wrong with that colour. You say it also fits well, which is also a big plus. I think it can look a little dated, but its always better to have something flattering and timeless than something trendy and ill-fitting... I would keep it if I were you, because these are the kinds of things that do come back around every decade or so... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339529 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:44:27 +0000 MuseumGal 1339529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, I'd like to see that paired with some of your knitted vests - I think it'd give off a romantic yet gentlemanly vibe, very Edwardian/Victorian. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339155 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 18:06:13 +0000 unfrumped 1339155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you have a good plan. <br />I'm in a tossing out mood so beware!<br />But, I hear you on color. <br />I really like Cocolion's rule and I'm doing more of that. I am trying to avoid impulsive tossing of something that , oops, was the perfect thing that worked with X or Y. I keep all sorts of tanks and belts for that reason. But things that I keep looking at month after month--those need to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339152 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 17:49:56 +0000 Diana 1339152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks.&nbsp; I think I'll keep for now and try it in a couple of outfits.&nbsp; </p> <p>Denise, I like your way of thinking.&nbsp; I haven't worn this top for over a year but to be honest I forgot that I had it, so I think some experimentation with the other occupants of my closet is a good idea.&nbsp; To Sharan's point as well, I think it may actually be useful largely because of its color.&nbsp; (I have a lot of wacky colored pants and skirts that are best with a more neutral top.&nbsp; For example I think this color would be good with my orange pants.)</p> <p>BJ, your outfit idea sounds good and if I pair with my slouchy clams it's something I could wear in the weather right now, so maybe I'll try next week.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339139 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 17:08:56 +0000 Anonymous 1339139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>cocolion -&nbsp;</b>good solid advice - I am going to heed this today when going through my closet and looking at my summer stuff that didn't get worn (which was 90% of it). &nbsp;If it isn't part of an ensemble or the tightened up look - out it goes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339127 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 16:40:14 +0000 CocoLion 1339127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep it only if it goes really well with some of your current most loved pieces. &nbsp;If it is an orphan in terms of playing well with the rest of your wardrobe, purge.</p> <p>Great outfit completer = keep<br />That is my new thinking, so I can step outside of just looking at the item on its own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339120 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 16:34:53 +0000 viva 1339120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's all in the styling. Like Lisa, I think I've aged beyond almost all ruffles but I think you could wear and style this top well, Diana, with a more structured jacket for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339112 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 16:19:55 +0000 Thistle 1339112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like it is making a comeback</p> <p><a href="http://m.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=59&#038;pageId=1&#038;productId=570102886&#038;viewAll=&#038;prd=Ruffled+Poplin+Shirt&#038;subCatId=&#038;color=100&#038;fromSearch=true&#038;inSeam=&#038;posId=3&#038;catId=&#038;cat=&#038;onSale=&#038;colorFamily=&#038;maxPg=4&#038;size=" rel="nofollow">http://m.whitehouseblackmarket.....#038;size=</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446723151&#038;R=808895396785&#038;P_name=Joie&#038;sid=14807AE116F7&#038;Ntt=joie+rissa&#038;N=0&#038;bmUID=kw7tTyl" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=kw7tTyl</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339110 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 16:15:36 +0000 Anonymous 1339110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pitched all of mine out over the past year or two. But - I am older than you, and have decided ruffles have no business being on my body. &nbsp;I think it's a completely personal thing - as Angie's ruffle post of the other day pointed out. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339104 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 16:03:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1339104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't look dated to me. I'd wear it, if it fit and looked good with some outfits. Or if it helped me wear some things I wouldn't otherwise wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339081 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 14:56:04 +0000 bj1111 1339081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw a ton of ruffles at jcrew the other day. Seems to be cycling back. You'll be ahead of the curve.</p> <p>Wear with birks and loose pants and you're sorted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated#post-1339076 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 14:48:02 +0000 Diana 1339076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wondering if this style of pleated bib-like ruffle is dated. It's several years old. Still fits well. </p> <p>Please ignore the fact that it needs ironing. It's kind of a PITA to iron so I'm not bothering unless we think it's worth keeping.</p> <p>ETA: color is truer in the first pic. It's a dark warmish grey. </p>
