Style Love: The Frances Ruffle

Ruffles are such fetching accouterments. Ruffles done to excess make for a fashion faux pas in my mind, but I am lately loving the J.Crew shirt with the "Frances Ruffle." Here we have a well-crafted, elegant gathering of fabric. The regal neckline is the crowning glory on this style chosen so deftly by Jenna Lyons (J.Crew's SVP of Women's Design). I long to include this piece as a part of my late summer/early fall wardrobe. Unfortunately, I am having trouble justifying the price point at $88. But it's just SO pretty!
