Bigger Bows For An Adorable Updo
November 13, 2009
When it comes to accessories I love items that are bigger than life. Oversized sunglasses, handbags (to a certain limit of course), watches, rings, and bows. Something about the contrast appeals to me, and I love a challenge when incorporating them into my wardrobe.
The instant I saw this bow I knew it was mine- how I would wear it I did not know.
So this morning when I was putting my hair into a side swept updo, something felt missing. There was a bit more space than I had intended on having, and the updo seemed to tight and clean. Not neccessarily a bad thing, just not the look I was going for. Enter the bow. What a perfect finish- it is whimsical, adorable, black and elegant. The cute factor with the heart, designs, and enormous size fit in perfectly. I love it.
One side is very smooth and clear while the other is a collection of soft textures wraped in place by the giant bow. The silhouette it creates is a unique one with lots of character. I love the angles and feminine cute feel that comes from it.
It’s hard not to feel adorable when you have a bow this big in your hair. Even though one side is light and clear and the other is heavy and textured, the balance remains as each side gives a glimpse into the other. It plays of each other just right creating a uniformed look.
I think I’ll be incorporating this ridiculously large bow into more of my updos, giving elegance a playful and cute twist.
so cute
wow- you and that bow are stunning… I have a thing for large bows and that one is extremely large and lovely! xx miss you!
Always gorgeous!
How about that sushi? Lol 
Cute! You know, it’s just the right size to look like an awesome hat! Like something that an elegant lady would wear in the 40s with a little bit of veil or something. So adorable!
Wow I didn’t get any notification of these comments, strange!
Thank you! Josh, sometime in the next week or so when I am back in town. Seriously! Speak with Missy and let’s set up a date.
Madeline, I sent you a message today not even realizing you beat me to it, ha! About right though, miss you, too!
Gabriel, loooove the idea of wearing it as a hat with a veil- I have a loose one, too, that would go perfectly with it. Brilliant- thank you so much. I am inspired and cannot wait to play ;D
