For Dresses:

During the day, wear a dress with a simple ruffle and simple shoes.  You don’t want the shoes to overpower the dress. Try something like 1960s Malcolm Charles Dress with a pair of Ferragamo Black Vara Flats.

When it comes to tops, it is even easier.  Pair a ruffled top with slim bottom, or a pair of jeans. For example, this Ralph Lauren Blue Ruffle Top looks great with these True Religion Medium Wash Flare Jeans.

In terms of separates, especially when it comes to bottoms, the longer the better. You do not want it too look like lingerie. If you are trying to be office appropriate, a simple pencil skirt with a little bit of ruffle is definitely okay for the office and cute.
