Bow-tique

You’ve seen Blair strut them on Gossip Girl. But…you also spied them on that little girl down the street. Well, no fear—we’ve got the bow technique down so you won’t look like your baby sis. GL’s got five neat pieces to give your fashion a mature, polished glow.
Tie your fave outfit together with adorable hair clips. They’re the perf way to bring out the colors in your outfit. Wear ‘em with a plaid top and jeans for a laidback-yet-feminine vibe or add a fringe vest for a li’l boho flair.

Strike a polished pose with a sleek pencil skirt—perf for presentation days. Play up the pulled-together look with a blouse and a yellow cardi and flats. Or, dress it down with a black tee and layered necklaces.
