The classic button down and a flirty skirt – in this post these two wardrobe staples are brought to life, with a little flare of course. Add a bow and some flounce and you have these perfect pieces by Banana Republic. Seriously, this brand can do no wrong in my eyes. I can wear this blouse to work and furthermore, it is even chic enough to wear to an event like New York Fashion Week. It surely is a head-turner for being such a simple piece. That’s the magic of the bow accent! One of my favorite new trends is the bow blouse. This summer we have seen crisscross laces, bandanas and chokers. I predict that the trends of playing up the neck area will continue to be a huge this fall. What better way to do so than with a pretty little bow around your neck?!
Another cute style to try this fall is the flounce skirt. It’s still warm so I’m rocking bare legs, but come fall I will style this skirt with a pair of thick tights. One of my favorite things about this skirt is, well, its flounce! It’s a fun skirt to shake and move in, making it the perfect skirt to go dancing in. The skirt brings work-to-play to a whole different level. In this look I feel like I am channeling Bridget Bardot in a classic French style. Black & white, strappy heels, teased hair, big eyes and a little pout. Scroll through these darling pictures photographed by LT Images and get inspired by these fun fall looks.
Tell me in the comments below, what do you love more – the bow blouse or the flounce skirt?

Diana
September 3, 2016First of all…. The photos are excellent. You both (photographer and model) did such a great job with that shoot. !
I really love both looks. The blouse looks great with the shorts. And the shoes and purse really make the skirt outfit shine.
I’d have to say it’s a tie…..

Yulia
September 6, 2016Taylor, you are such a beauty! I love both the skirt and the bow blouse – there is something fun about each of them. I would totally wear the skirt in winter with thick black tights (just like you mentioned), and I’d take that bow blouse to a media event or a Broadway show. Needless to say, you styled these pieces perfectly. Hope you are having a great week so far:)
