Trend report: Put a bow on it

How they wore it 

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

When it comes to adding prints and patterns to my wardrobe: I tend to play it safe: stripes that epitomize Parisian chic, playful polka dots, subtle florals...they all are part of my daily outfits. On the other hand, when it comes to animal prints, I'm still at the first stages (meaning: I won't go any further than a leopard print scarf or a pair of cheetah pumps just yet), and as for huge psychedelic prints so often seen on runways, well I guess I am just not ready to take that road .

Oddly enough, there is one lovely, chic and feminine print that's been sadly missing from my closet. I'm talking about bows, of course. You can hardly find a print that's more playful, adorable and smile-inducing! And of course, it must have been Kate Spade who brought my attention to this major lack in my style arsenal. Kate Spade bow collection is nothing short of extraordinary, going from subtle details like bow ring or a scarf to a full blown fit and flare dress that's bound to make you want to dance all around your apartment (and beyond). And suddenly, everywhere I look I see bows that are begging me to add them to my closet.
My new manta for spring? Put a bow on it!

How I'd wear it

Black skinny pants are a staple that shouldn't miss in any wardrobe, while a bright pink coat livens up any given winter morning. Bow bag and wallet are bound to become classic, especially when they are in neutral or muted pastel colors. I can imagine myself slipping on these pastel bow pumps under the desk at the office, to instantly add some glamour to my workday. And when it comes to jewelry, there's nothing as adorable as a matching set of bow studs and bangle. This is my idea of a perfectly balanced bow-embellished outfit!
