Fifties style with bows

Retro fifties fashion is still trending. Polka dots, high waist bathing suits, red lipstick & nailpolish and pencil skirts flair up today's fashion world. But what I love most about this vintage look, is the return of the bow.
Cute, adding a splash of color to your outfit, big or small, a bow is always an eye catcher.

The King Sisters weren't too shy to wear giant polka dot bows as headbands in the fifties.

Bows were used to decorate sweaters

and to adorn hats and pets. :-)

In today's fashion scene, the bow is still as popular as it was. Dior has the Cherie Bow make up collection for spring 2013 in pink and black hues.

And take a look at this beautiful vintage inspired red dress with a bow in the neck:

If you want to keep your bows more subtle, and ready to combine with all your summer outfits, maybe bow earrings are what you are looking for. I have them in my shop in three trend colors: emerald green, the pantone color of 2013, bright yellow and orange.
