Kristina does the Internets: Tied with a Bow

Tied with a Bow

Coat (this season's version) - Old Navy / Sweater (similar here) - LOFT / Skirt, Earrings, and Hair Bow - J.Crew / Heels (similar here, or an almost identical red pair. I also love this splurge pair.) - Ann Taylor / Bag - Tory Burch / Lip - Maybelline (color is Pioneer)

Okay, so here's an important question: how many bows is it appropriate to wear in one outfit?

With the holidays upon us and hair bows coming back into style, I'm starting to find myself wearing two or even three (ahem, or four - the back of this sweater has a bow too!) per outfit. What can I say, they're fun and girly without being over the top, and seemingly go with everything!

Initially I was a little unsure when hair bows started showing up everywhere this fall, but I decided to try one out for myself and am now fully on board. They're such a fun accessory, and make even the most casual hairstyle look dressed up. It's just too bad I didn't keep my giant hair bows from the '90s, because I'd be set right about now! I currently just have the one, which is attached to a giant barrette which makes it easy to clip in and go.

I've also been all about the red lips this year. I've tried red lips in the past but would always get frustrated with the color fading too fast and ending up all over my cups / food / clothes / husband. This year I decided to try a few long-wear formulas, and I'm totally hooked! Here I'm wearing Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Pioneer, and it is a serious game-changer. The color really lasts all day! You just have to let it dry for at least 10 minutes before trying to drink or kiss anything. Which is usually something I can handle ;)
