Today's Everyday Fashion: The Bow Belt





I debuted this skirt on Easter and had requests for more outfit ideas with it. I haven't had a chance to wear today's outfit yet, but plan to wear it for church soon! My first outfit included a mint peplum top and floral necklace (see it here), but this time I went for all neutrals to let the skirt shine. I simply couldn't resist adding the same bow belt again though. I'm loving the trend and think a bow around the waist is the perfect touch of girlish whimsy. Bow belts: nay or yay?

  12. I tried on this skirt at Loft over the weekend and decided to pass because I thought I was too pale to pull off this color. It looks amazing against your tan though!!! Love it!

  14. If only I've discovered the ASOS belt sooner!!! I'm on the hunt for a metallic belt for a formal gown that I'll use on a wedding, next week... and since I'm not going to America any time soon (I live in Mexico), I'll have to settle for whatever I'll find here! =(
    Great outfit btw!

  15. I really like this outfit & how the belt goes with it. However... I'm not totally sold on the bow belts. I remember when bow headbands were fairly popular, now I look back at pictures of me wearing them... and just shake my head. The bow on the belt is more subtle than the headbands, so make it'll "keep" better.

  16. I love a bow belt! I am really loving the metallic ones. I am loving this whole outfit... the skirt is amazing. I tried it on, but decided against it because I couldn't think of more ways to wear it. So keep the ideas coming... I may have to get it after all.

  17. Gorgeous outfit! Quite glam! Love the bow belt like this. Love that your top is a little losser this time, finished off the skirt beautifully. Such a perfect outfit from head to toe.

  20. love the bow belt, but don't love this top with the skirt. I think it kind of drowns your small frame. I'd prefer something more fitted - like the last outfit you did with this skirt!

  21. I like the color combo but not the silhouette. I agree w/ Melissa. The full blouse & full skirt make you look bigger than you really are. I like the skirt best w/ simple fitted top. I've loved bow belts for years. :-)

  22. Love bow belts, so sweet and feminine without being too girlish. That skirt is so pretty!

  23. My next purchase will definitely be a bow belt! I think the fitted peplum top looked better with the skirt, but both outfits are adorbs!
