Dressed for: Double Bows

by Sally on July 17, 2012 · 10 comments

Already Pretty outfit featuring polka dot blouse, red bow-front skirt, leopard print handbag, Jil Sander peeptoe pumps, rhinestone bracelet, onyx necklace

Polka dot blouse, thrifted – similar
Bow-front skirt, Cynthia Steffe via Opitz - similar
Peeptoes, Jil Sander via Fashion Avenue - similar
Necklace, a gift – similar look
Bracelet, J.Crew (no longer available) - similar
Earrings, The Wellington Boot
Bag, Hype via LastCall - similarbudget

When I put this outfit together, I wasn’t even thinking about doubling up on bows. The skirt features a prominent bow, and the shoes have a subtler, more stylized bow. I knew it all worked, but that rather obvious parallel escaped me somehow!

Wonderful shoes! And the red skirt is so great too – showing a bit of skin in a refined way.

Oooo! I love this! Your legs look amazing, they seem to go on forever. I find something subtly sexy about this, maybe it’s the red skirt, maybe it’s the legs, or maybe a combination of both. You look absolutely stunning. It looks so wearable and I love the silhouette! I absolutely love it!

What a happy accident! I love when an outfit comes together perfectly without really thinking about it.
