I must admit I have a love/hate relationship with bows. I'm not a fan of the over girly versions featured on clothing or used as accessories but I do like the minimal and modern versions I have seen in the past few years. I like them simple and clean and not frilly. Basically, I prefer to look chic and elegant instead of frou-frou or prissy.
One place that I think bows really work is in the office, especially when it is featured on a dress. To be honest, if you have a bow detail on your clothing there really isn't a need to wear a lot of accessories, because a bow speaks volumes. It is basically a statement accessory on its own so I usually wear the bare minimum when it comes to jewelry when rocking this particular detail because there is no need to detract from the star of the show. Plus, it is not a good idea to overdo it with jewelry at the office anyway because it can be too distracting and not practical unless you work in a creative field. Just add a sophisticated bag and heels and you are ready to conquer the day.
