I’m wearing this blouse today - with a Jean mini skirt. It has delicate ruffles. I really like blouses with pretty details.  |

I think it's adorable. If my arms were sticks instead of tree trunks, I would definitely keep it.

That’s cute, summer! Is it Sundance? I love the belt. I feel like people have stopped wearing belts but I still wear them. And yes, Just T, the dresses out right now are hideous! |

its cute on others, but I am definitely not a ruffle kinda girl. Plus I don't need the extra bulk anywhere

I think ruffles can look cute on other people but I don't like them on myself. They make me feel weird.

I would definitely wear a shirt like that. A lot of my spring and summer shirts are from Loft and cut similar to this one.

Before I saw the picture of the actual top, I was envisioning the Seinfeld puffy shirt, so the link is the OP is definitely nicer than that!
I like the shirt that you linked. I don’t usually like ruffles but those look subtle enough to be cute without adding distraction. Depending on how it looked on me would determine if I kept it or not (and I’m absolutely NOT an XS).

I'm petite but a gamine (neat, small details/patterns/textures) kind, so nothing floppy or baggy. I wouldn't wear it, but I have friends who would look gorgeous in it. If you don't feel comfortable in it then it probably isn't for you.

I think that particular blouse is very pretty. Personally I'm not a fan of ruffle. I think I'm a bit too old for them now and I have broad shoulders so I don't need the added layers.

I have broad shoulders and a large bust, and they’re disastrous on me. me, too... I have a large enough chest already without all the ruffles adding to it. and 'ditto' to your t-shirt comment, too. I bought a few knit tops at Kohls over the weekend (they fit me well, and they have plenty of colors / patterns to pick from) and I was-- appalled?? flabbergasted?? gobsmacked?? (take your pick) at the styles and the colors of the clothes on the racks. I lived thru the 1970s once; I don't need mustard yellow and olive green clothing in my life again!! nor will ruffles or a prairie style skirt with flounces look good on me at all now that I'm in my 50s. I did think they looked good on me when I was 10, but then again, they actually might not have looked good on me then, either, lol. |

I would never wear ruffles. I’m very petite and short waisted. I also have large boobs, that I try to detract from.
On the model the blouse is adorable.

I am not a fan of the ruffles trend or the ditsy florals trend for myself, but my tastes don't lean toward super feminine styles in general.

I like the ruffled top you linked, J u l e e. If you like it and will wear it you should definitely keep it. I have narrow shoulders, a small bust, and I'm sort of pear-shaped, so ruffles that draw the eye upward and add a bit of "floof" around the shoulders and/or bust are OK for me. I have a few tops like that, some that I wear tucked (or half-tucked) with a belt; others that I wear out/untucked. I like ruffles in small doses and in the right places...not so much the current sundresses with ruffles all over the place and layers of ruffles at the hemline. No, thank you. I was 10 a long time ago, LOL. jenjie, the dress you linked is gorgeous. I love the silhouette! |

I don’t like this style or the Little House on the Prairie dress look. These flouncy ruffles come in and out every ten years or so, and I am always glad I didn’t fall for it.

Detest the current trends for tops! Hate, hate, hate ruffles and puffed sleeves. And don't even get me started on the ridiculous prairie dresses. I am trying to pick up a few things for our vacation in a couple weeks and have walked out empty handed several times - just cannot wait for this trend to be in the rearview mirror.

I like it. I would buy it but I don’t think it goes with the green plaid pj pants I wear like they are my uniform. I would have to put on real pants. And probably shoes. Oh, and that thing people call a bra. Then I’d have to comb my hair and put on makeup. Which would all lead to feeling like I had to leave the house. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. But I really like the blouse, so I think you should wear it and post pics so I can live a real life vicariously through you!

I like the first one. Depending on your coloring the yellow would be fun for summer. |

The first one would show too much cleavage for me but otherwise it’s cute. I like the cut of the second one better but wish it came in other colors. |

The first one is much like the one you already posted. I really like it though. I don’t like the second one, but I can’t tell why. As much as I like plaids, I don’t like wearing them.

I'd probably order the first top in black. It looks beautiful on the model in white, but it looks like it would be very sheer.
I love the second top as well, but I don't think it would be as versatile as the first top.
