It is one of the first things we learn to do once we have control of our fingers - tying a bow. The prettiness of it is reminiscent of girlish gleeful days when moms would cover us in bows rendering us pretty as a picture. Now is the time to relive this and with a fashionable twist as designers scurry to cover almost everything with a bow. Bows are appearing on shoes, jewellery, bags and blouses though often in a delicate soft way that allows us to carry them off with elegance.
Yves Saint Lauren (the main dress) has created the ultimate classic bow dress whilst Betsey Johnson (the necklace) has balanced her crazy style with subtle pastels and charms. An easy way to wear the bow-tiful look without investing too much is by buying a cheap but cheerful dress like the delicately patterned one below. This is the way to go if you are not sure if this look is for you but are willing to give it a try. Another way is to stock up on accessories. Gloves, clutches, make up bags, hair accessories & shoes are being graced with the presence of bows too. Truworths, Woolworths and good ol’ Mr. P should have a few items whish would not break the budget this January.
