True story: I watched a youtube video on how to tie a bow tie. I wanted to wear Bobby's but didn't know how to tie it. I still don't, because it looks wonky. I am impatient.
Bebe sent me this cashmere sweater and asked me to style it. I had about five minutes to come up with something and send it to them, and this is what I did - a little mix of schoolgirl and schoolboy. I'm actually allergic to wool (it's only a slight allergy), so I decided to layer it. But guess what? I layered it over a wool sweater. Needless to say, I shouldn't be allowed to make decisions at seven in the morning. I had the itchies afterward.
If you are feeling generous, please take a moment to like my selection (only if you actually like it, obviously) on bebe's page and check out the other gals! One of us will win a little prize (a flip cam and a gift card). While you're at it, please add me on facebook so we can keep in touch!













Very cute! I really like the bow tie :)
ReplyDeleteI "voted" for you.
Love this outfit you look totally adorable.
ReplyDeleteI've tried but I still don't understand how to tie a bow tie either XD

I totally did the same thing when I learned to tie a bowtie. I learned how to tie a tie through the 'Beakman and Jaxx' comic many, many moons ago.
ReplyDeleteLove love the outfit! I wear stuff like this all the time! ^_^
Ah you're so precious. Love the bag, skirt, tights and shoes!

My sister and mother have the same "allergy" as you have. Luckily for me I don't and they sometimes "forget" about the allergy and I end up with a nice new sweater (hahhaa diabolic laugh !)
ReplyDeleteI liked you on bebe...(already liked you before on FB). Me , a stalker , no ! (remember the diabolic laugh ?)

ReplyDeleteI like the bright blue sweater!
Yay!
Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I've worn a tie in the past I always get my husband to do the honours. Like a little girl getting her shoe laces tied.. but then I CAN tie a tie (tie a tie?) just the back end always ends up longer than the business end.. :D Maybe I should buy him an "ulterior motivation" bowtie for Christmas?
Super cute. I love bow ties on guys and you just made me want one too:) The shoes are FAB as well.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is adorable! Bow ties on girl?..Love it!

This is truly genius - I love the mix of girly with the bow tie! I'm so impressed it's a real one - I just buy the vintage clip-ons but maybe I'll buy a real one and try it!e
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is lovely! I love how the blue sweater adds a pop of colour to the all-black outfit, and the bow-tie is such an unexpected touch - yet somehow it works so well and makes so much sense. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat lip color are you wearing with this outfit? I love love love it!
ReplyDeletei definitely like your outfit the most, it's super cute. you're even giving bobby a run for his money with the bowtie look. i'm not feeling the wedges though, i think some modest flat/semi-flat/mary janes would round off the schoolboy look.
ReplyDeleteAdorable adorable bow tie!!
ReplyDeleteI notice you have a lot of bags, what do you do to keep track of moving everything you need between purses? I get so scatter brained and never know how to manage my things between purses!
You look so cute.
ReplyDeleteI love how you are always dressed up no matter what! It's amazing!
