11 ways to wear festive fashionable bows

With the holidays just around the corner, it's hard to not do a  post about holiday fashion that incorporates one of the most used gifting ornaments: the bow ! I was browsing the internet for ideas on how to DIY gift-wrapping without buying wrapping paper and bows to kinda break the tradition for a change.  I found lots of cool ideas but I also wanted to share with you what I thought would be so nice to add to your holiday outfits.  I am a fan of bows, from bow hair accessories to shoes and everything in between. I think they're so feminine and fashionable no matter your age.  So, here are some of my picks for how to incorporate the bow into your holiday outfits for a festive look.
