Take a Bow

February 10th, 2010

Bows used to play a rather understated part in my ensembles and I love how they’re taking center stage this season.  Left behind are the ballerina connotations and in with bold, statement-making details.  From Jason Wu’s dramatic gradient dress to an oversized headband from Forever 21, bows are back in a big way.

Kate Spade – Pearl Necklace : $195
Jason Wu – Peplum Dress : $2,510
Lanvin – Bow-embellished patent ballet flats: $555
Marc by Marc Jacobs – Faux Bow Glitter Ring: $48
Asos – Bow Gloves: $26.63
Forever 21 – Headband: $3.80
Topshop – Bow Print Crop Blouse: $60
Marni – Bow-embellished Bracelet : $420
Sonia by Sonia Rykiel – Silk Shorts:  $235

    That Jason Wu dress is incredible!
    The bow detail on is such a stand out!
    Not only to the little black ties add a contrast color, but they also add a different texture!
    What a great idea!!!

    Love this post! I’m also obsessed with bows, mostly in jewelry (necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings). I love the little forget-me-not rings that are just corded bows.

    I’m sure I could find something similar which is a little less expensive. Thanks for the idea :-)

    I have a pair of flats with sweet little bows on them and I love them.

    OMG! I can’t wait for spring. I’m staring out the window into the craziest blizzard ever. sigh…this is just the lovely I needed to lift my spirits.

  • Kristen

    I must have expensive taste because everything I HAVE to have on this is way out of my price range. The yellow Jason Wu dress is the stuff I dream about.

    Bows are my absolute favorite. Love the Lanvin flats soooo much.

    I adore the ring and the gloves, they are so cute. I’d probably wear them together and overload a little… Cute choices.
