Take A Bow

The last couple of days have been much cooler which affects not only the amount of layers it is necessary to wear, but the colors I wear, as moodiness drew me to black ensembles. There are touches of whimsy and optimism though...both outfits featured bows. The first is a very overt bow from a scarf that I pinned on with a safety pin and the other is a Lucite bow brooch. Outfit details: dress- Forever 21, scarf (worn as bow)- secondhand, sweater- Forever 21, tights- Walmart, shoes- H&M, bag- Pull and Bear


Outfit details: dress- Urban Outfitters, sweater- Forever 21, tights- Walmart, shoes- Urban Outfitters, bag- Pull and Bear, brooch- vintage

I know it's mostly black and brought on by "still too cold blues" but this is one of my favorite clothes horse looks ever! That scarf is just the right amount of color!

Wanderlusting said...

I've seen a lot of bow pins floating around the internet these days and I am tres jealous that you have some and make it look so good!! The colour is exquisite.

PS love the jumping pic and those snazzy loafers - the tan looks so nice against the black :)

Shin said...

That bow looks so pretty on that dress and makes it look entirely different! I also love the mustard color bag, I think it's a great color to add to any outfit! Love your jump shot! Yay! xxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Love the yellow nail polish and drawing. I dress dark too when I'm moody/disagree with the weather.

Oooh curly hair! Lookin' good.

Last night I was rummaging through my closet trying to decide what to keep and what to see. I have this awesome scarf that I've yet to find a proper use for. How did I not come up with an answer as simple as a BOW.

You win.

Helen said...

Freddie said...

that scarf makes an absolutely brilliant bow! It really ties an otherwise plain outfit together and makes is fabulous :)

Heyla said...

woah! i am 22 too... people usually tell me that i look young but ,idk, 3 years younger than i am probably,but you look like 14!? which is awesome because ,it's always better to look younger than older rite? at least after you're an "adult". lol

btw what brand of nail polish do you use? i'm in love with the blue ones.

Amelia said...

I adore the scarf bow! It stands out so well against the black. Your drawing is lovely, too.

susie_bubble said...

The yellow scarf is perfectly tied....

renwore said...

Your yellow bow is just the right splash of colour for your outfit!

Fannah said...

How do you make such a bow?! I swear, when I try something like that it totally fails and the somewhat bowish form hangs down like sad. Yours is so.. jumpy :p

ZombieLace said...

I love the darkness with a pop of color. It's like, It may be wintery now but spring is right around the corner! Cute creative use of the scarf, too. I've tied them around my neck in a bow, but never thought to just make a bow and pin it!

Anna Pope said...

The bow (or, more likely, the scarf) in the first outfit is absolutely adorable!

JBalloon said...

I love the scarf bow! Neat idea!
