Trend Spotlight: Ruffles + Striped Linen

Trend Spotlight: Ruffles and Linen Stripes

I just cleaned out my close in a big way. I counted and I have at least 20 empty hangers in my wardrobe. That’s A LOT of stuff I’ve decided I don’t need or don’t wear enough to warrant taking up space, physical and mental.  I’ve been taking inventory of what works for me at this point in my life, with the temperature of the season, and  with my closet favorites. I’m thoughtfully adding in new items I know I will wear again and again. I’ve found myself drawn to light colors and fabrics with character.  Linen and ruffle details have my attention.  Enter this ruffle skirt with striped linen fabric.

A Love Note to the Skirt

I took a visit to Versona as I started my search for newness. It was here I discovered this skirt. The striped linen skirt is high waisted and wrapped, so it’s flattering for many body types. The open form in the front elongates the ankles and legs. It also features a versatile striped linen pattern, which is great for summer wardrobe styling. It’s also modest enough for a variety of occasions. I’ve paired it with a conservative shirt for professional settings.  In this look, I paired the striped linen with more flirty accessories for a casual, but dressed up look. Thinking brunch, happy hour, bridal shower.

Now, It’s Your Turn

I’ve scrolled the internet for you and discovered some comparable items. Trust me, they are all versatile and comfortable, including these new wedges I’m obsessed with. Wear them in good health and in good spirits, friends. Shop it all:
