Bows

bow2

I love the femininity of bows. They’re so fun to wear on everything from delicate jewelry to exaggerated collars. When worn on a blouse as this one is, I let the bow make the statement and kept everything else rather understated. I don’t get to enjoy the pleasure of getting dressed for work these days (I know, some of you cringe thinking I got please out of that!), but prior to having my children, this is an outfit I definitely would have turned to.  I love sticking to classics, a blouse and trousers for example, but I play them up by adding fun and slightly unexpected details like the large bow and leopard loafers. I love the tailored, ladylike outcome.

This is such a perfect work outfit. Love the top - that bow adds just the right amount of flair to a button down shirt.

This is such a perfect work outfit. I should style something similar for work. My work outfits are getting boring. Love the exaggerated bow and fab loafers.
