My Style

A blue dress with a bow

I’ve been a big fan of the bow blouse trend lately. There is something oh so feminine and pretty about tying a big bow around your neck. I also like the fact that the bow essentially serves as a necklace. Built in accessory – winning! Even better is the fact that I found a bow blouse…in dress form instead!

Pin It

The weather here in Florida is actually cooling down right about now. The sleeves have definitely come out, and I was extremely excited to take this little dress for a spin the other day!


This dress was my very first purchase from ASOS; I’ve had my eye on many items on their website, but I’d never pulled the trigger until recently. I love that their shipping and returns are free; being able to order without fear is always a plus on my list. There is nothing worse than ordering something, paying shipping, and then realizing that it doesn’t fit and has to be returned! Anyway, I love the length of the dress; the material isn’t the highest quality (it’s a blend…oh well), but it is thick and the cut is great. Definitely pay attention to sizing when you order: this dress is a US2 (I typically wear a 0 or 00; sizes run small with ASOS).

And hey – look! A picture involving both me AND my husband? Who knew that was possible? Just in case you were wondering if he still existed…

Are you a fan of the bow blouse/dress trend too?
