I'm glad I never totally gave up tailored fits! Although I'm definitely enjoying my fits on the easier side of tailored these days, rather than clingy or bodycon.
As for ruffles, etc., it's funny, I have one green patterned blouse that's been in and out of the donation bag because it has a tiered hem and sleeves, but I love the pattern and the neckline, and it's floaty and has nice movement. I just moved it back into my closet to play with again, so my only remaining "ruffly" item is getting a reprieve!
It's funny the way fashion has gotten to the point where it moves so fast it's almost as though anything goes, and if you're not riding the crest of a trend, surely you're doing something that is "pre-trendy"!
