I've always loved ruffles - almost as much as I love bows. Well, maybe not that much. |

While looking through an old magazine I was inspired and
I thought I'd look for a ruffled garment in my closet.
White shorts Larry Levine - Silver flats Zara - Bag Carolina Herrera |
Found this powder blue one shoulder
top by Carven.
White sunglasses Kate Spade - Silver tone chain belt |
It's been in the closet for at least 13 years.
Last seen here, it has not been worn in the last 5.
Its super soft lightweight cotton, a nice colour ..
However, the moment I tried it on I knew what kept
me from wearing it: I had to wear a strapless
which it's not so comfortable, which takes me to the
next question: keep or toss.

I'm not a huge ruffle fan for myself, too girly. But I do love that top! The perfect amount :)
I say keep!

Ooh, I really like that top, but yes, I hear you on the strapless issue. I finally caved in and went to a really expensive lingerie store and bought a really high-quality strapless so that I could wear my "strap-showing" tops. Might be worth it for you in the long run - it's not like you'll have to buy another one in your life, right!?
I'd say keep, but only if you get a really good strapless (make it one with straps that you can adjust/detach, so that you can wear at least 1 shoulder with this).
Nice look

It is a pretty top!
For me, I began to realise that all my pretty pieces that required me to wear a special or strapless bra with it just became pains to wear. So I let them all go, strapless bras just don't work for me. Now there are quite a few pieces I regret getting rid of, but I was never 100% comfortable in them with the bra situation so even if I had kept them, like your top, they wouldn't have been worn often.

Me encanta tu estilo, el look es ideal!! https://bohoclosetblog.com/2016/04/22/crop-top-con-tiras-en-la-cintura/
Very pretty! I enjoy ruffles a lot too, but own considerably fewer of them than I do bows. For me, it's a keeper. I see this working under a blazer, with a maxi skirt, topped with cute cardigans, possibly going with palazzo pants, and playing nicely with capris, too. It's summery, sweet, feminine and fun.

Oh I think you should keep it. I don't think asymmetric one-shoulder tops will ever be dated. I own an identical one to this but mine is white and it is from Express. You definitely dressed up those white bermuda shorts. Such a polished casual look, Lorena!
