Whenever I wear this bow tie blouse, I always imagine being a French girl (even though I should be feeling Italian, no?) This black and white look is timeless and elegant, and the best part about this particular blouse is that the bow can be removed and added to other tops or dresses. It may be buttoned up and subdued, but the addition of a flounce mini skirt, leopard clutch, and thigh high boots give playful appeal to this ensemble.
Speaking of feeling French, I am wondering now as I type this if I was subliminally inspired by Chanel for my outfit. Much like the brand’s famous packaging, black and white is always a classic combination, and coincidentally enough, I may or may not have picked up a few goodies there today…soon to be on a future post! If there ever were a shopper’s paradise, it’s Roma–and let’s just say I’m going to have to become very skilled at the art of self-control. Ciao and boun fine settimana!
