Ties, the Bow Kind
Wednesday, October 12, 2011I picked up this bow tie over Labor Day weekend, thinking it'd be a fun challenge to work into my wardrobe. I love Blair and Khatu's outfits with a bow tie, but the queen title goes to Diane Kruger. She pulls off all these different looks so well, with my favorite* being the one below.
I was "inspired" heavily by her outfit to recreate a more feminized version of my own. Besides this look, I'm thinking of going the traditional route of bow tie over a collared shirt next. Or perhaps even girlier with a bow tie in my hair. If you have any styling ideas, please do share!
Are you a fan of bow ties?

How cute! I would never in a million year have thought to position the bow tie where you did....great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the placement of the bow tie! I never would have thought to do that either, but I think it gives the overall outfit a more feminine vibe which is way better than a hipster or school girl one. ;)
ReplyDeletethis is so adorable! Like the other commenters, I never though to wear a bowtie like this! must steal! :)

Oh Cee...you did it again. You always amaze me!
ReplyDeletei'm so in LOVE with this! the skirt looks so much better in this outfit than the shorts. *big smile*
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I give you credit, since I have not as of yet grown brave enough to sport a bow-tie...shameful! Also...that skirt is Forever 21? Looks way more expensive from where I'm sitting. :)
ReplyDeleteoh i love how creative this look is with the bow! i'm definitely gonna have to try that sometime!
ReplyDeletecute & little
Love that bowtie! and love the leatherette skirt. I wonder if F21 still has it...:D Diane Kruger's outfit is cute too, maybe I can squeeze an outfit like that while the weather is still agreeable!

adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I definitely like your version better than Diane Kruger's!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute tie - I love this look on you! I would have never thought of that placement. Your photos look so magazine / pictorial-esque! I'm also fascinated with the bow tie but am still trying to find one of the "fluffy" kinds with the tails :)
ReplyDeleteI would never have considered adding a bowtie to my pile o' accessories, but it looks so cute with your look! Love it and your creativity :)
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing that Forever 21 skirt everywhere and am really regretting not buying it! You styled it wonderfully. I love your style!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear from you. Constructive criticisms welcome!
