Gifted Swan : Bow Adornments

   

   

Frilly, flowy, girly, Bow-ie. Whatever your take on the recent bow trend, you have to admit, they're pretty darn cute. Maybe it's the new Alice in Wonderland remake or recent popularity of Minnie the Mouse that started it all. As a whole, this trend is part cutie pie, part coquette, and all feminine lady.

The bow craze knows no boundries. Recently spotted on headbands, secretary blouses, evening gowns, cocktail dresses- even heels! It can be designed as a teeny tiny little decoration or a juicy, floppy statement piece. Whichever way you choose to wear it, this darling little trend will go to work for you, day and night.

Earrings by Juicy Couture  Blazer & Scarf by Ralph Lauren  Dress by Kate Spade  Heels by Max Studio

It's hard to imagine bows reading chic, but this outfit pulls it off nicely. A waist bow will always accentuate what is usually the smallest part of a woman's torso. The fitted blazer adds a touch of business casual, while the knotted scarf plays up the chic factor. Delicate studded bow earrings accentuate the trend in an understated way. Keeping the heels neutral helps to pull it all together. All these pieces can be worn together or separately, which creates a fabulous versatility in your closette. Separately, these pieces become wardrobe staples that can be worn till the end of time. All together, the pieces create a total package outfit that stays in step with this current trend. 


Interpreted for Play:






  Blouse by Frenchic  Leggings by Tory Burch  Heels by Nina


By keeping the bows long and flowy at night, you up the free spirited factor of an otherwise streamlined outfit. Detached double panels course down the front of this silky, French inspired blouse with navy grosgain ribbon detailing. The sheer blouson sleeves add to the cool factor. Balance it out with up-to-the-minute dark leggings and bowed T strap heels that also incorporate the ruffled look. All together it's a quietly sexy outfit for a night on the town with your loved ones.
