" Tis the season for velvet and bows ... fa-la-la-la-la-la-la ... "
At least that is the version of the song playing over and over in my head. If there ever was a wonderful time of the year to wear velvet and bows this it. Both accouterments fit in perfectly with the festive holiday season and jovial mood. Plus any time you add velvet or bows to an outfit it instantly transforms an outfit into something a bit more classier and elegant. Now some of you are looking at me sideways because you may have suffered through one too many holiday family portraits where all of the members of your family were dressed exactly alike and unfortunately most times it involved you being forced to wear velvet or bows, but I swear I will not re-traumatize you. The items I am showcasing today are timeless and chic. This is a cringe-free zone, so relax and enjoy!
