{ costume of the day } hair/bow
when i cropped the last of my locks off
back in april, i noticed myself suddenly gravitating towards dramatically collared clothes. at first, it was all about sharp menswear-inspired collars. now, 7 months in, i'm still most comfortable wearing face-framing things ~ but i've learned that something as soft as an oversized bow will do just as well as razor-sharp ruff!
thus, this top has proven to be an invaluable layering piece (i also wore it
HERE and
HERE). it helps that it buttons all the way up to the neck before exploding into a bow; this way it's easier to tuck under stuff than most of my other bow-tie blouses. earlier this week i paired it with
this very sixties-esque erin fetherston dress (more photos on
her blog) and a pair of eerily-perfectly matched boots ~ and enjoyed the way the combination felt both mod and modern!
i think my crumply, paul-mccartney-coif reinforced the modish energy, and that's probably why i enjoy switching up my hair so often. each incarnation allows me to experiment anew with my style ~ and learn something fresh in matters of dress. so, even as i'm growing my locks out again, the transition is still inspiring me to transform.

in other news, i keep replying to
emails/
tweets/
facebook queries with promises of the imminent relaunch of my jewelry shop... and yet there's still just a
liiiittle more work to be done! i'm sorry to keep those who have asked waiting; we're just now finishing up all the photographing/coding, etc., and i promise i'll update everyone the moment it's ready (hopefully by friday!). in case you can't wait that long to get your shop on, pop over to
erin's ~ where
all the pieces i've worn on the blog are now 30% off!
