J Crew - Maisie ruffle blouse
The Maisie ruffle blouse (99680) - $78 comes in white, fresh guava and mineral gray. White is a classic, the mineral gray is a good neutral alternative and the guava pops in person, but isn't too bright. It's available in stores as well as online. It reminds me of the classic Kelly blouse, which is a simple button down, and they added the chiffon ruffle collar. The fit is similar to the Kelly and I'd say it's TTS. I tried the white on and the ruffle looked like a leg garter around my neck. I'll probably pass on this one.

LOL...a garter around your neck. I saw this shirt last week and I really like the neckline. I guess I'll have to try it on to make sure it doesn't look too silly.
ReplyDeleteroxy - I totally thought it was cute. It's a nice alternative to some of the higher ruffles that J Crew does. I was bummed that I thought of a garter when it was on. I didn't have it buttoned to the top, either! However, I didn't try it on with a blazer or cardi. That might give it a different look. I think it will be different on everyone.
ReplyDeleteI did not care for the blouse either...funny looking on me...
ReplyDeleteanon @ 2:32a - Ruffles may be too much of a good thing in this case.
