I love bows, bows are the best. Hooray for bows.
(Can you tell I'm into embracing my girlie side these days?)
Here is a retrospective on the lowly bow!

A note: those look to me like they could be for mourning. Except the cameo is different: male on one, female on the other. Pretty unique.

I'm more of a pearl than diamonds girl myself. I've always felt diamonds rather cold, although I suppose they go with everything. Pearls just seem to have more personality.

And now for something I have an outside chance of actually wearing, or at least imitating.

ReplyDeleteI do love bows, especially pussycat bows!
ReplyDeleteThe 60s pearl tie is pretty swell too! A friend gifted me something similar. I feel very glam business when I wear it.
