BDID: Prep School

As soon as I read about this week's assignment, I envisioned doing 

an interpretation of Janelle Monàe. With her statement tie/bow tuxedo look 

and ditto hair, she was my perfect inspirational starting point.

Not having a tie or bow available in the house,

I had to get creative people. 

For this look I remembered owning two Monki bow clips.

Being 30+ wearing hairbows, 

wasn't a look I thought I could pull off at my age. 

So what to do?

Re-invent the purpose of the bows, because giving away these bows,

that is asking too much of me. I mean the colors, the velours look, how 

can I resist that? This may explain why I bought them in the first place.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for soft velvet fabric and bargain finds.

My outfit basics
