Welcome to the first Fashion Friday of 2021! The holidays may be over but according the calendar, Winter has only just started! Sure, it is time to take down the tree and pack away the ugly sweaters with Santa’s face but in my mind, some holiday pieces can stay around a bit longer. One example? This J. Crew tartan ruffle top. Unlike many pieces in this pattern this shirt is made of a breathable cotton and the ruffle detail on the shoulders gives it just a little something extra.
Even though the top is a lot I decided to pair it with this great statement necklace I picked up from Target. After the whole bubble necklace trend I took a step back from oversized pieces but I have slowly started reintroducing them into my wardrobe. They are particularly helpful when trying to accessories a patterned top or dress as dainty pieces tend to get lost in bold prints – enter statement necklaces. Take a look at how I put it all together:

Top | J. Crew Tartan Ruffle-Trim Woven Top
Necklace | SUGARFIX by BaubleBar Braided Statement Necklace Bracelet | Pearl Stretch Bracelet
Bag | Gucci Soho Small Leather Disco Bag Watch | Apple Watch Series 6
Leggings | Spanx Faux Leather Leggings Boots | Maede Block Heel Over-The-Knee Boot

I can see in your face how pretty you feel in this outfit. The booties are adorable too.

Great top and paired with those Leggins you have a winner for an outfit. Your legs look fantastic in them.
Emily says
Such a cute top. I’m going to have to order it for myself. You don’t wear that much but you sure do look good in it. The ruffle on the sleeves really makes the look stand out.
Tori says
The ruffle really does make the top stand out. J.Crew makes the cutest preppy clothes that don’t look frumpy or too traditional. Love the look on you.
Nancy says
I never thought of wearing tartan for the new year but you certainly pull it off. A great color on you and a super hue of red..
Sally says
I totally agree, a small necklace would really get lost and this outfit. Your statement one is so pretty but not overpowering. Good choice.
TAMMY says
I love your red and black outfit. Perfect for a warmer winter day. I love the over the knee high heel boots too.
