bows

Skirt, Blouse & Sweater- Thrifted; Boots- Spring; Clip-on Bow- The Shop of Worldly Delights

I'm a sucker for bows whether worn in the hair; as a t-shirt pattern; attached to clothing or on a pair of heels, they're whimsical and fun and remind me of my childhood.  Laura has brought my youthful spirit back with her adorable collection of bows including hair elastic bows (I bought this one) and clip on bows like the one I'm wearing which you can wear in your hair or clipped to your favourite outfit. Half menswear, half girl next-door, it's official, I'm obsessed with bows!



What's your verdict on bows?

    The bow is so cute! I love the whimsical look and mixing of prints for this look. It has a Anna Sui feel and looks so fun!

    I am totally, completely, and whole-heartedly addicted to bows...they make the perfect accessory for practically any outfit, if you ask me! Yours esp is darling, love the way you've mixed patterns and patterns on top of each other. Cute red skirt too, I know mine is one of my fav wardrobe pieces.

    Loving your style and your taste, can't wait to see more! Following.

    Very adorable outfit! I personally love bows. They're adorable and add a little feminine touch to any outfit. I love the checkered fabric that the one in your outfit is made out of!

    I'm iffy on bows for myself. I usually don't wear bows, ruffles, pleats, or much embellishment. I know, I'm boring! I do like your red, black, and white ensemble.

    I'm mixed on the bow. I apparently read very young, so I have to be careful how I use them

    You look so darn cute! I love that you pinned the bow on a frilly, feminine shirt. Plus you're got some great pattern mixing going on. I've been wanting to try this look for a while but the bows in men's stores are like $40!! Looking for clip on or hair bows is a good idea. I should check the thrift stores too.

    Bows look great on other people but they're not my thing. Your gingham bow is cute & I like the colour palette of this outfit :)

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
