PRETTY BOWS

Milan Street/IMAXtree

Summer’s long skinny scarf has evolved for fall into pretty bow-tied blouses. Some are large, and some are small. Some are part of the dress or blouse, but more often they have become a separate accessory that can dress up a simple shirt creating a more feminine allure. The idea of adding drama to a simple top has also spawned more accessory ideas, from elaborate collars to fancy cuffs.
