OH, CLARA BOW.







Clara Bow is PRECIOUS. But not in the completely innocent way, there is something very mysterious and seductive about her as well. Like you wanna stroll through the park holding hands, picking daisies, and eating icecream cones with sprinkles together, and then take her back to your place, drink some wine, listen to old soul records, and try to make a smooth move by placing your hand on her leg or something. But nothing too sexual and forward because SHE IS A LADY.

Now, how can you channel some Clara Bow into your everyday getups to add insta class and sass? May I suggest...


bow head band, 7.99 @ target
I WANTED THIS SO BAD WHEN I SAW IT IN THE STORE. I feel like it is a really cute but not over the top accessory to snazz up a simple dress. I feel like I would wear this with a black dress, knee high black socks, and some flats. But that's just me.


Covergirl Outlast lipstain, 7.99 @ walgreens
When I first saw a commercial for this, I was so excited. I really love the idea of wearing lip color, but let's face it, I'm wayyy to messy and ridiculous for lipstick. Whenever I wear it, I usually end up smearing it or getting it on my teeth or something equally as awful. This stuff is the perfect solution! I own it in 'flirty nude', but trust me, it's not nude. It's a nice solid red that is not too bright or fire engine colored. It goes on a little dry, but put on a little lip balm or gloss and you're set. I am really happy with this product.


High Seas skirt, 52.99 @ modcloth
Clara's style is hard to pin point, because it seems as if it's either one way or the other: simplistic with basics or over the top with a lot going on and tons of flair. Some of the pictures I saw of her while browsing Flickr were rather nautical, and I figured this skirt had both the bow and pleats that seemed to be a common theme, so it works. Really, I think most skirts that are vintage looking with high waists, pleats, and/or bows could be easy to pair with above things in helping to form a cute outfit.
