All tied up

This may shock you (sarcasm), but I really like bows. If worn without overdoing, bows can be a fun way to incorporate a little bit of playful femininity into any outfit.

I love these post earrings, and the nautical rope theme keeps these bows from being too prissy.

The same holds true for these cutesy rings called the "Forget Me Not."

The "rope bow" also looks cool on this colorful tank.

Still, if you refuse to submit to the above nautical trend and this rope version leaves you longing for a more refined bow from years gone by, check out this gorgeous, flirty tank by Ace Delivery (back bow!),
