boys night: part 1

hello fashion lovers.
sorry it's been a few days...life gets crazy sometimes, you know? anyways, on to the main event!
i'm obsessed with bow ties. you may be wondering, aren't those a guy thing? i think they are primarily a "guy" thing...but if you know me, as i'm hoping you all are learning to do, i like different, unconventional things. i love men's shoes, not gonna lie. and they have the lead on the blazer phenomenon. so, here's how i'd style bowties, first.






a few ways i would style bowties. with suspenders, with a blazer, with red gloves and a beehive....so many good options! also, i really really need this copper shirt...it's a must. and those velvet ones. and that denim one. okay fine, i want them all.
indie or preppy, bowties are cool no matter how you wear them. and you'll make the guys jealous if you know how to tie them.
here's a handy how-to for those of you who don't know how to tie them.



ah, blazers. they are so wonderful. you can throw one on with practically anything and it transforms a look, making you more chic, put together, and fashion forward. here's a few examples.


bright colors are kind of my thing, so i had to have at least a few. notice how these go with a skirt, cropped trousers, and what appears to be a romper, all with wonderful effects. get it ladies!


black is ALWAYS good. you really can't go wrong with a black blazer, seriously. in my opinion, every woman should have a least two black blazers: one for colder weather, and one for the warmer months.
 

here are a few styles of blazers. love them all. especially the bright one. 
 

patterned blazers are wonderful as well. it's a fashionable way to add a pop of pattern to a low key outfit and jazz it up a bit. or you can use a patterned option to make a wonderful outfit even more crazy! it's really up to you. the only requirement is that you buy one and learn how to wear it. they are classy, versatile, and oh so comfy.  they work great if you get cold indoors a lot. that's me right here, and i love having them for when i get chilly. 

next time, i'll talk about men's shoes and how ladies can wear them in a classy way. ascots are wonderful too.  i wouldn't call this androgynous as much as utilizing a fashion genre that is both comfortable, available, and getting more and more awesome. let's explore our options, ladies. the boys shouldn't get to have all the fun.
