Ruffles and Faux Leather. By Suellen Aragao

I love to play with textures, so I paired Ruffles and leather to compose this outfit. Ruffles are definitely one of my favorite elements to play with, they are very feminine and draw attention to our favorite features.

We have highlighters for our faces and ruffles for our body haha

If you think that your outfit needs a little UP- you can bet on a piece with ruffles. If you struggle with colors- ruffles are a great option to get out of the plain and basic outfits. You can wear them on your neckline, sleeve, and so many other fun options.

My only recommendation is to avoid them where you don’t want to draw attention or to give the impression of volume. Use pieces with vertical ruffles, they will create a longer silhouette.

If you follow me for a while you know that I struggle with bright colors, however I love contrasts and textures, (my Instagram feed makes it very clear haha you can check it here).

That is the reason that I paired the ruffle shirt with a high waist black faux leather. Even though faux leather is a fabric without movement or stretch, you can find pieces with perfect structure that accentuates the waist and creates a beautiful shape.

I always recommend to my friends to try on all the pieces made with hard fabrics (faux or real leather) before they buy them. If they don’t have the perfect structure they can make your body look rounded.

The final touch for this outfit is the glitter ankle boots. They are my favorite pair of boots when I want to create a fashion statement.

What do you think of the combination? Also, check my blog for fashion and beauty tips.
