Black and White Bows

Every year or so, around this time I tend to slip into seasonal depression. Everything outside is brown and dead from the harsh winter weather and the days are so short. Typically, we will have a trip planned for the winter to escape the inevitable everlasting New England cold, but because we already have a few trips planned for this summer and fall we wanted to take some time to organize ourselves at home, meaning I have definitely hit my mental wall with the cold weather.

Dressing and finding inspiration during this time of the year is equally as frustrating as most clothing brands and designers have transitioned into their Resort Collections or spring time inventories. Beautiful pastels and florals are now welcoming warm weather, but spring in New England seems so far away. Although, the weather isn’t quite ready for all those lovely patterns I have found that the prettiest feminine details can be seen in the most darling bows. Being my favorite detail in an outfit there is rarely ever a time where I will pass up a piece of clothing that has a bow on it. Any color, any pattern, any material, I just can’t resist and these were no exception! 

The ASOS New Look Coat, is one of three that I now own. They make for a great transition coat as they aren’t the heaviest. I am under the Sézane spell! The sweaters, tops, jackets, dresses, pants are so dreamy! Buying them all clearly wasn’t an option (haha) so I picked some of favorites, one being the Lady Shirt. A stunning silk shirt with a silk tie that I tied into a bow! At only 5’1’’  finding that perfect pant/jean fit is always a struggle, but lately I have been having the best luck at Loft and paired these pants with the Sézane Lady top to add some contrast. The Loft Petite Velvet Flare Crop Jeans are a perfect fit and are the first pair of cropped pants that I own that actually fall at the right length. As a compliment to the Velvet Flare Crop I slid into these Keds X Kate Spade New York Velvet Bow sneaker. 

While you wait to transition your wardrobe and if you aren’t flying south to escape the cold you can always add a feminine touch to your outfit with a bow.
