In one of the greatest compliments of my life, my brother-in-law once said that I dress myself “like a present.” I knew what he meant, too: ever the Magpie, I am always drawn to bows, ribbons, jewels, add-ons, details, dramatic proportions, embellishments. If I were a present, I’d be wrapped to the high heavens with a wide, white satin bow. Below, a few Magpie-like pieces I love…
THIS JEWELED BUTTON MOCKNECK SWEATER ($120)
BIG BOW EARRINGS ($125!) — ALSO LOVE THE PEARL
WOULD LOOK AMAZING WITH THIS SCALLOPED, BOW-BACKED TOP
THIS AMAZING DUSTY BLUE COAT WITH JEWELED BUTTONS
PINK EMBELLISHED COLLAR SWEATER
ZANOTTI FLATS (ON SALE – PERFECT HOLIDAY SHOE)
STAUD BOW TOP (PAIR WITH HIGH-WAISTED TROUSERS OR SKIRT)
THIS $20 H&M STEAL (I LOVE THE GRAY WITH THE TINY PEARL CLUSTERS ALL OVER)
THIS SHIRT WITH ITS CRYSTAL BOW BELT IS BANANAS
DRAMATIC NECKLACE TO LIVEN UP YOUR TRUSTY OLD LBD
FUN SEQUINED HEADBAND (UNDER $15)
AND JUST BECAUSE A GIRL CAN DREAM…THIS OSCAR DRESS IS PERFECT

P.P.S. Avoiding a denim rut.
P.P.P.S. Moving to revisit this piece when we were still so early into the pandemic.
