For anyone that knows me, they know I swoon over a good bow, or any bow for that matter. I accessorize with one everyday, whether it be with a ring, earrings, flats or in my hair. I think they are the perfect form of femininity and add a girly flare to any outfit. I spotted this Fashionista walking to class and she toughened up her dainty bow tee and earrings with bold blue jeans and converse kicks. Her outfit seemed Blair Waldorf meets old school Avril Lavigne and I loved it. It’s something I never would have thought to try but I definitely made a note for the next time I’m having trouble putting an outfit together.
Bows have been popping up more and more in magazines and blogs. Even celebrities are following the bow trend like Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Swift and Victoria Beckham. They all incorporated it into their outfit differently, showing that any style can benefit from a little bow action.
For a look filled with bows like this Fashionistas start with the sweet silver bow jewelry like her silver earrings. Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s has a similar style in her stud earrings. Or, if a ring is more your style, check out Shop Ruche’s Everlasting Bow Ring at a college girls price. (I have this one bookmarked on my computer so I don’t forget to snatch it up before they run out!) Now, when looking for a top, keep in mind what style you’re looking for. If you need something for a night out try Forever 21 and their Sheer Ditsy Bow Top. Covered in a Minnie Mouse bow style pair it with black jeans and a colored heel and you’re ready to go. For a more casual feel try American Eagle’s Chiffon Bow T-shirt. The classic gray tee is embellished with a bow that will surely turn heads on campus.
Spotted: Akong tied a simple black bow onto his dazzling pearl earrings for his fall 2012 collection. For something similar try Kate Spades mini pearl drop earrings with bows attached.
