Okay, I swear to you that I will stop wearing a bow around my neck soon. I don’t know when it will stop, but eventually it will. This time it wasn’t out of inspiration from Gossip Girl, but the sheer near to wear three layers and a coat to keep warm. Do I feel like a stuff marshmallow? Yes. Do I look like it? Ish. Does a bow and beanie make it better? Yes. Did I seriously wear this to a burger house? Yes. Did people look at me strangely? You already know.
Sweater: Target (exact but almost sold out)
Shirt: Forever21 (Almost the exact for under $20!)
Pants: Loft (exact)
Shoes: TJ Maxx (similar for $22.90) (similar) (similar)
Bag: Target (exact)
Hat: C/O Aeropostale (very similar)
Rings: C/O Onecklace (exact) and Forever 21 (exact)
Oh and I should just warn you, don’t wear your favorite coat into a burger house. Why? Because you will smell like said burger house for an entire day. Dogs will love you. Men will love you because you smell like grilled meat. Your niece will ask you where you have been. But was the jalapeno cheeseburger worth it? Yes.

You wear those bows with no excuses or apologies! And, don't let the looks bother you – folks just don't understand our constant desire to display what we would wear to our personal fashion show.

I don't think you should stop wearing bows, you wear them well, and they make you smile.
I hate smelling like food. Ugh. Unless maybe that food is chocolate cake.

Oh no!! The dreaded smell transfer!! The worst is when it's something Dry Clean Only. (Which is why I don't own very many pieces like that!) Well I'm glad you enjoyed your cheeseburger and looked dang cute while doing it!

Bows just never get old or go out of style. And I cannot believe this is a Forever 21 find! Great layering and keep the bows coming! In the words of Kate Spade, nothing is better than a "well placed bow".
