Get Tied Up in Bows & Ribbons

Fall trend alert: bows and ribbons. This feminine trend was seen on the Fall 2010 Valentino couture runway and designers have taken note.

The tricky thing about bows and ribbons is keeping the look mature and not veering into childlike. You can do this with style, cut, color and what you wear the clothing with. If you pick, say this pink Leifsdottir cardigan, pair it with black or gray and keep the rest of the pieces tailored.

The great thing about this trend is that you can find pieces for work and also for fun. And, if you shop right, these pieces can translate from work to play with ease.

Since bows and ribbons are popping up on everything from earrings to shoes to dresses, pick just one piece per outfit to incorporate this trend. There are also different styles of bows to pick from: the stylized to the perfectly tied bow.
