You know what I’ve become obsessed with this in the last few months of 2024? (Ahem, the clue is in the title)
BOWS!
More specifically big bows fashioned out of different things worn at the neck! Delightfully for all of us, the twinterweb and social media are overflowing with ideas and inspiration. So in this last newsletter before Christmas, I thought I would share 3 of my favourite creative bows.
IDEA 1 Use a hair clip and shoelace
This is by far the simplest!
I loved how this turned out. I will be repeating and will add more bows to my collection. Here’s an outfit I wore it with
Creator, I learnt this from: @sarah.corbettwinder
IDEA 2 Use ties
This one is a little more tricky. But I love it.
The original Creator, I learnt this from @bengelaholmes does a much better job of explaining how to do this than I could! So here is her video. And this is my version ⬇️
I love this and have worn it several times. Comparing mine to the original creators I think her ties are a different shape so the bow (IMO) looks better! But I’ll keep experimenting with different ties till I hit the jackpot!
IDEA 3 Use a long scarf
No word of a lie this took my brain quite a while to get the technique down. So be patient with yourself and play with the shape until you get it to your liking.
In the video, I show you 2 different-sized bows. One was created from a smaller scarf and the other from something much chunkier (this one is very EXTRA!)
I have been and will continue to enjoy wearing this bow as the winter continues. 🌟
Creator, I learnt this from on TikTok
So what do you think which one will you try? Comment below.
That’s all for this one. Thank you for being here and I hope you have a very Merry Festive Time.
Keep being Fabulous and Wearing What You Want every day!
