I realized one day that everything I liked in clothing and home decor seemed to have one thing in common: a ruffled or scalloped edge. Here's a roundup of some of my favorites.

Perfectly feminine without channelling Queen Victoria. Why save it for work? Paired with jeans and heels or a sleek pencil skirt, this can be dressed up or down. {Shirt by Forever21.}
A Scalloped Card Case
This case by Lauren Merkin is a sweet way to carry around your business cards, credit cards, or some cash when you don’t need to lug around a bulky wallet.
A Scalloped Edge Dress
This dress by J.Crew is understated with that lovely scallop edge detail. Perfect in just about every way.
A Ruffled Laundry Bag
This bag by India Rose makes laundry day that much better. And you won’t need to throw it under the bed when guests come. {Buy it at http://www.burkedecor.com}
A Ruffled Jacket
Go ahead and splurge on this beauty from J.Crew. Italian fabric and classic styling will keep this a closet favorite for years.
Ruffled Slipcovers
If I could sew well enough, I would make slipcovers for every season and whim possible. These, in particular, boast an adorable ruffle detail around the cushions and are pretty without being too over-the-top. {Via the blog “Sew That’s It”.

A Ruffled Dress
Made by Thread, this seersucker fabric gives this dress a more casual vibe, but the ruffle detail keeps it pretty and fun.
