I was pleased to see so many ruffled dresses and shirts in the latest Anthropologie catalog. And you know how much I love my ruffles (thanks, Jessie). It’s probably a phase but I’ll keep riding it out. My cream silk chiffon ruffled dress that I wore for my birthday dinner made me feel so feminine, just as the swallow’s tale blouse would. It was funny to flip through the catalog with Jon as he commented that some of the pieces feel like they have come straight out of our grandma’s closet. That’s just the cycle of fashion, right? At least we were in agreement about our favorite shirt of all — the fabiane blouse. Those sweet ruffles just about sum up my style.
It’s a busy week but I feel refreshed after such a relaxing long weekend of celebration, vegetable shopping at a farmers’ market, trying new yummy recipes (fig galette, japanese eggplant salad, and pancetta crostini all from this book), planting some vincas in our front yard, and listening to the 4th of July fireworks all night long from our bedroom window. Hope you enjoyed your weekend too.

i knew that top was your favorite!
i love fashion that is classic — that can come from a grandmothers closet and be freshened up for a more modern look. Glad you enjoyed the holiday!

Your weekend sounded perfect. I live close to where they have the city’s annual fireworks show, so was able to watch them from my bedroom and feel the house shake a little as they lit up the sky.
Ruffles just seem synonymous with being a girl . . . soft and feminine, and I’m glad there’s always room for it in fashion.
