It's time for one of my favorite weekly blog features: Frugal Fashion Friday! I love to show you a designer high price look that I LOVE, and then a version of the same look for those of us on a budget. This week I am featuring the Bow trend. Maybe it is the paper crafter in me, or the fact that I have only son's...but I love bows and they are so trendy right now! This green dress by Kate Spade has a fabulous bow at the waist and I can't get over the color! And if you are a shoe lover, you'll want to check out the sling back pumps with a bow at the toe! Buy Kate's Look for $970.00 or the bargain look for $249.28. Buy the bargain look and save: $720.72!
Get either look here. And if you want a black belt on the less expensive dress, visit a fabric store and purchase a wide satin ribbon. Finish the edges with Fray Check and tie your own belt!
Here are some more ways to add bows to your look on a budget.
- Add the bow accessory! For example, you can Purchase this skinny belt; pictured above, here, and wear it with a dress, over a blazer or with a jumpsuit.
- Make your own bow embellished item, I think I could make a version of the sneakers below, or the ribbon belt mentioned above!
- Ask me for a Lookbook and give me a budget for the item you want! Just visit any of the links and click on the Request a Lookbook.
- Recycle a bow tie as a headband!
Want a bow for the casual look but you're not a crafter?
Try the sneakers above here. And if your a crafter like me, you may be getting out the ribbon and glue gun right after you view this post to make your own sneakers with a bow! I love to save money and make something when I can, so I can splurge on something I can't make and have to have. Need help tying the perfect bow?
