PUSSYBOWS

Here is why I dislike staying on top of trends: Too much shows, too much collections, too much editorials.. In the end, I am rarely able to remember who certain pieces are by and when they're launched (thank you for saving my brain style.com). For example today, I tried recalling Chloe's fall collection where a lot of pussybow blouses were on the runway. I thought it was 2007 but it was actually 2009.
As I turn to Google for answers like I always do and searched.. turns out most pussybow pieces came from 2011 (not 2012 like I recalled.. memory failure again). Well, it didn't bother me that I'm not the trendy bunch though.. Instead, I came to finding lots of great inspirations for my next attempt in wearing these bow adorned pieces (which I have also included as part of this post!) So yes, I'm done with one of my reasons why I refuse to wear every single trend per season.. I read & see.. I am likely to forget and eventually, I simply wear I like. // photos by Christy

my steamer broke 3 weeks ago and I haven't been bothered to buy a new one. For now I'll just pretend that I've sat in the car for too long that my clothes wrinkled even when I've just walked out of the door
