Let me share a secret with you: this blouse has shoulder pads. And I like them.
Blouse, Ann Taylor
Belt and skirt, J. Crew
Pumps, Talbots
Bracelets, Tiffanys
I love this top – the shoulder pads actually lengthen my shape and the pattern goes with everything – especially my favorite skirt. Seriously, can J. Crew do any wrong with their colors? This is from last spring and is called bright dahlia. Love.

Love the pattern on this blouse…gorgeous paired with the full skirt! And I think shoulder pads are making a comeback! I know that Victoria Beckham rocks them now and then…and she can do no wrong

SO true! What I wouldn’t do for one of her dresses!
You know, for a gal who can never tolerate shoulder pads in her garments, this top is absolutely stunning! They definitely add a subtle shape without being overwhelming. And I love the bold pattern paired with that beautiful skirt. So pretty!
I honestly never thought they’d work… until I tried on this top!
This is such a bold and feminine combo – love it!
Thank you – shoulder pads did make me feel good!
Love this outfit – super flattering! Rock those shoulder pads!
Ok I will dangit!
Hehe, sometimes shoulder pads can be a good thing! Your skirt is such a gorgeous color!
Very true!
Ok, so now I want shoulder pads. What are you doing to me?!?!
I may or may not have just cackled evilly!
What a gorgeous outfit! Love that skirt and that top is perfect with it!

I cannot get enough of J. Crew’s colors! It’s not good for my wallet!
This is a fantastic outfit! I love it! Shoulder pads can be done right… though it is a rarity!
