This year I feel like I have finally discovered my fashion style. I prefer wearing simplistic pieces that are versatile and easy to wear. Yet, I enjoy adding the small feminine details, that elevates the overall look of the outfit. The Flora Ruffle Tank Top, perfectly encompasses this style with the basic fabric and the feminine details.
This crochet ruffle tank top uses basic crochet stitches, but the ruffle details and keyhole back is the perfect way to add feminine charm to this tank top! Not a fan of ruffles? No problem! The ruffles can easily be omitted for a great staple tank top for spring.
This crochet ruffle tank top is incredibly versatile and can be worn an endless amount of ways. Pair with white jeans or a flowy skirt depending on your mood and events. My personal favorite way to wear this top is with denim overall shorts – the perfect combination of feminine and style. The possibilities are truly endless with this top!
For the Flora Ruffle Tank Top, I used WeCrochet Shine Sport in Platinum. This yarn is some of the best yarn to use for summer garments. The sport weight ensures that this yarn is lightweight so you won’t get overly warm during those sunny days! This yarn is also so soft and it feels so good to wear against your skin!
