It's our second month building the alphabet with fashion! This month the letter is "B" and I have chosen BOWS!! The feminine touch of a bow can really change the simplest piece into one that is delicate and girly. Here are some of my favorites and a few tips on wearing bows!!
1) Less is more! This means that you really only need one bow in your outfit. My personal favorite way to wear a bow is on a clutch. I think it gives the clutch a little pizazz!
2) Size matters! Evaluate the size of the bow you want. Size can range from large (see the tube dress below) to a simple detail on a cardigan or brooch. If you have an outfit with a big bow, you might want to make that the focal point and dress everything more simply- i.e. stay away from excessive ruffles, frill, or other types of added texture! Let the bow do its job ;)
