So, it's going to be the first day of school again soon. :C Except, the shirt I was planning to wear for back to school was lent to a friend - and she accidently took it with her to university. xD So, I changed the shirt to a slightly more "boring"/bland shirt to match the skirt.

Anyhoo, I'm having some difficulties finding the right accessory/accessories for the outfit I'm thinking of wearing (which is posted below). I'm leaning towards tying a bow, but I don't know what color/where to get the fabric/bow/whatnot. Dx

So, please help? O:



(Sorry for the poor bathroom lighting and bad quality picture! The skirt is a navy blue. c: )

Thanks Zeruda! C: That's what I was thinking navy blue too - except, I don't know where I can find bows around here. Dx Or perhaps I can try making my own? Do you have any suggestions for that? c:

Are there any second hand shops near where you live? I think a plaid navy bow would be adorable, that way you get color and a pattern! :] if there are any second hand shops maybe you can find a shirt or skirt or something in a pattern and color you like and you could make a bow out of it? The outfit is really cute though. ^_^ Maybe also a layered necklace or a string of pearls?

Elspie; That's a wonderful idea! :'D A plaid bow would go really well with this~ c: There aren't any secondhand shops around where I live, but there are some fabric stores. c: I think I can go buy some fabric today or tomorrow (and make the bow right before the first day back~ haha). Thank you! o:

I guess you can make it youself :) but it kinda depends what kind of bow you like ^^
Here's some examples for bows i've tried:

http://lookbook.nu/look/53465-tell-me-a-story
http://lookbook.nu/look/145367-little-sister-I-love-you

you can also try something scarf like. I used to wear it, but I can't find a picture.

Also something ribbon like will work :) http://lookbook.nu/look/1228251-almost-there

Most of my bows here in these pictures were bought, but nowdays I make them myself whenever I need one ^^ (cus when I'm lookling in the stores, i can't find them, and when i don't need them, they're everywhere! ha!) I bet there are many tutorials online, you just need to find one in a style and shape you like :) making bows is really fun! and your outfit is so simple any type will work with it! :D i bet you could wear a different bow every day ^^
