RUFFLES!

I do want to apologize for taking SO long to do this post! Life has come and started to run my life! There's no good excuse, just life! I decided to really boil down and do it after talking to my cousin who I found out actually checks this thing often! (Thanks Tiff!!!) I feel loved =)
First things first, thank you Aubree for suggesting this topic because I love everything with ruffles! Please check out her post after finding out she won the Forever21 gift card (the shirt is SO awesome!)
After much lusting after purses, shoes, acceessories, jewelry, shirts and skirts I think I may have found a great look book per say of some awesome ruffles. Ruffles are taking over the fashion world! They're everywhere and I LOVE IT! Make sure and read the bottom for an exciting giveaway from my work (DownEast)!
