Trend to Try: Ruffles

Ruffles_Dreams_Pink Blouse_Vanessa Lambert_What Would V Wear

Ruffles bring out the dreamer in me, they really do. Today, I couldn’t help but think of Harriet Tubman’s quote: “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Continue reading to learn more…

I’ve always considered myself a dreamer, someone who knows what she wants, and who wasn’t afraid to go after it. To me, dreams aren’t just dreams. My motto is that if you can think it you can achieve it. It starts with a thought, then an idea and then you try, and try. While you’re out there trying you will face many challenges, it certainly isn’t a walk in the garden but we’ve all heard it: A winner never quits. So even if your journey to success is hard , and maybe even painful — do not give up!

Now you may wonder what this has to do with the ruffles I’m wearing. Well, as I’ve said it above: Ruffles always bring out the dreamer in me. They are romantic, and feminine. I’ve paired my blush ruffle top with a simple, grey suede skirt and my favorite flower belt.

As always, thanks much for reading and have a great weekend!

Much love.

    Vanessa, I absolutely love this outfit and post! First, the quote you shared and your words of encouragement are so deeply appreciated because sometimes, we really do need a reminder of what we’re capable of, as well as to keep pressing on to bring it all into fruition, thank you! As for your outfit, I love that ruffled top and how you’ve paired it with the suede pencil skirt. The color combination is so feminine and airy, which really helps to highlight the effect of the ruffles. I’m also swooning over that fedora, which was such a great addition to the look, a bit unexpected, which is why I love it! Thanks so much for sharing, gorgeous, and I hope you have the most amazing Mother’s Day. You are an incredible mother, which is evident in the way you talk about your son! Sending you lots of love and a big hug!

    XO,

    I very much agreed with this post. I’m a dreamer also, and I believe once you have the ability of imagining a thing, achieving it is possible.

    Keep dreaming hun.
