I’m a girly girl at heart. While I have a strong personality and a Girl Boss mentality, I am, first and foremost, a very feminine being. I was raised to believe I can do and be anything—but I’d prefer to do it while wearing pink. Or ruffles, or both.

Luckily for me, this spring’s fashions are all about ruffles, pastels, and one-shoulder blouses and frocks. Designers, boutiques, and runways are loaded with glamorous pieces with over-the-top, dramatic ruffles in cotton candy colors. There are wrap-around bow blouses, and tops with ruffles that cascade all the way down to the waist.

For those of us not looking for eccentricity, it’s easy to incorporate the style with a pale pink, sky blue, or lemon yellow top with one shoulder. They pair perfectly with light denim, white jeans or even a jean skirt, another trend that’s boomeranged this season.

The top fashion items to add to your closet this spring are undoubtedly: a ruffled, one-shoulder blouse, a great straw bag, a pair of great sandals, and some great statement earrings. Unsurprisingly, I’ve purchased all of the above—my AmEx needed a workout.
