I told you so




Well. You have been warned. I've been itching to wear a bow tie since seeing "Coco Avant Chanel" and while I look no where near as adorable as Audrey Tautou, I'm still pleased with the end result. Except for the part when I took off my blazer and my boyfriend told me I looked like a waitress. That part I was not pleased with. Ahem. Ian.

But today is said boyfriend's birthday, so I'll let it slide. Just this once.

Blazer: Tweed and leather blazer, Charlotte Ronson for JCPenny
Shirt: Ruffle button down blouse, thrifted, originally from J. Crew
Skirt: Black velvet mini skirt, H&M
Bow tie: OK, not really a bow tie, just a bow from Walmart that I pinned on
Shoes: Black heels, Aldo

    very cute - I'm always worried about looking like a waitress whenever I wear a tie or bow tie! Love the ruffled shirt and what a great cheap way to make a bowtie!

    I bought a bow tie in gray Chambray from American Apparel a few weeks ago and have not worn it yet. I just knew I loved it and Usually buy on that basis and figure it out later. The way you have done it is so cute. Gives me the inspiration to give it a whirl. Thanks!
