Black Bow

 My most calming hobby has to be visiting my Pinterest boards and I've certainly been doing plenty of this the past week.
I woke up this morning feeling like I've turned a corner, perhaps toward health?  Fingers crossed but I'm really looking to forward to getting back on my cooking game for one.

Today I thought I'd share some of my favourite images from my Winter Pinterest board.  There is a recurring theme to the board that I only noticed yesterday... and that is the black bow.

I have a black silk charmeuse hair ribbon just like the one in the top photo, but of course I can never get it to stay tied around my hair.  It must need loads of pins to keep it in place?

 This gorgeous thin black bow, set off against quilted ivory fabric and a pearl choker necklace, is from Chanel's 2015 runway.

The classic bow blouse in black: my favourite!  I have this blouse from Tory Burch and year after year I wear it, it's a lovely warm silk and it layers well too.

 How about a vintage black lace dress tied with a silk bow at the bodice?  This one is 1960, Christian Dior.
Perfect.
 You may have heard of the Canadian coat brand, Sentaler.  They have become famous in the last couple of years mostly due to being worn by certain women named Kate and Meghan.

I have this very simple Sentaler coat that I bought many years ago (before their prices went through the roof).  It is snug and warm and it ties at the front with a big black bow.

Do you organize your wardrobe using Pinterest?
My seasonal boards are set up with the items I actually own and wear, with some inspiration thrown in there as well.  When I do a closet edit (as I did this past weekend) I also do a Pinterest board edit, removing the items I've removed from my wardrobe.
It's a great tool for wardrobe organization!

I hope you have a great day today, healthy and happy.
