Bows
A few weeks ago my preppy friend Jane asked, when you are too old to wear bows in your hair. I didn't answer her at first because I had to think about it. But then on a "bad behaving" hair day I put my hair in a pony tail and added a ribbon. Which reminded me of ladies I've admired over the years who are older than I am but look lovely with bows in their hair.
Do you agree?

You look so pretty! I love bows in ladies hair. I always end up with one on my collar or in my hair after it falls off my daughter at some point or another during the day.
ReplyDeleteI'm a LOT older than you. I wear a bow on my ponytail Every. Single. Day. I Love bows!!!! Of course, YOU look adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love wearing ribbon tied around a pony tail, but since I look a lot younger than 40ish, I feel a bit childish wearing ribbon. Yet, it hasn't stopped me.
ReplyDeleteI always put a bow in my hair and will probably do it forever. I just feel like it's a classic look. xo
ReplyDeleteI know women who are in their 60's and 70's and are quite fashionable and have a bows somewhere in their hair.
ReplyDeleteI think they're always okay! One time, I had an 8th grade student who thought that bows and ribbons made everything better. And they do, don't they. :)
ReplyDeleteI love a ribbon and bow. Done right, they are both youthful and timeless.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute, positute...I think a bow (the right kinda bow) can be pretty at any age.
ReplyDeleteNow, I have to admit. I've seen some doozies in Wally~World 'round here. Just today I saw a women wearin' a Christmas bow as a hair ornament. Sorry...I didn't have my camera.
My bad!
I love your hair up...with bow. Your just to darn stinkin' cute no matter what ya do.
God bless and have a grand day sweetie!!! :o)
you do, i love it :)
ReplyDeletepeople are just skeptical when it comes to wearing polka dot bows and such .
I did this all through college. I stopped for a while and then moved to grosgrain ribbon bow headbands...I love ribbons.; I think I will go back to it this spring. My sweet girl wears a big ole' bow in her hair everyday. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou are GoRgI!
ReplyDeleteAnd the answer to your question is simple...
NeVeR! I adore bows, they make a pony~tail complete. A tail with NO bow is naked in my opinion...it's just wrong!

I, too, love a hair bow...yours is very cute!!
ReplyDeleteYours looks so cute, but I don't think I can pull it off. I don't know...maybe I should try it? Why not!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I always wear bows in my hair, and one of my guy friends makes fun of it! But to answer you, you are never too old!
ReplyDeleteI think your ribbon looks great. I guess it depends on style and color. I love the fabulous assortment of hair add ins today. I have some beautiful silk flowers that I love putting in my hair.
ReplyDeleteNot sure... yours is very cute. Audrey Hepburn wore it and many girls followed. A Hermès scarf is an chic alterntive.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely day! xoxo, B
I have seen some fabulous older ladies with bows in their hair and Chanel suits on and I adore them. I know Coco will wear bows forever! Collars up!
ReplyDeleteI love bows! I say never too old. ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe my favorite look of all time for you- very Audrey Hepburn elegant!!!!
ReplyDelete-linda,ny
Pshaw, never too old for a bow! XXOO
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI think a ribbon/bow in one's hair-regardless of "age" - can look elegant and appropriate. I think what makes the difference is the rest of the outfit. If the wardrobe looks elegant and age-appropriate, the bow will look also. If the outfit is frilly, age-inappropriate, etc., then, I think the bow will fall into that category as well. Thanks for sharing!
PS-Love your "signature" photo at the bottom of the page! Lovely!
Happy 2012
