Fashion Dare: A Girly Bow
Photographer: G. Tjepkema | Stylist: K. O'Reilly | Hair M/U: L. Wilson
Spring has sprung and it is the perfect time to tap into your inner girly-girl. Test out the age-old fashion staple of little sisters everywhere and tie your tresses in a beautiful bow to visually declare your style major.
Kaboodle offers a large tartan bow for those who like to rock a little harder. Prepsters everywhere will want to take a cue from Gossip Girl’s Blair and opt for a simple headband with silk bow. Vintage ladies should try the forehead veil and oversized bows seen on Luella S09 Runways. Bohemians are not left out either, watch this great how-to video to help you create a braided hair bow, organically made from the hair on your head. Those who gravitate towards yesteryear should pay attention to Kelly Osbourne’s retro inspired matching bow and coat combo. Fashion mavens may want to don the editorial hair bows John Galliano put forth for S09. Trendy girls will want to test drive Lady Gaga’s literal “hair bow” for themselves. Really girly-girls should pile on the youthful hair accessories a la Harajuku girl. If all else fails, Zooey Deschanel shows us that the tried and true way to wear this trend is simple and sweet with a pink headband.
Whatever your idiosyncratic style may be, wrap it up with a pretty bow. I dare you.
