Neck bows are only for the young and those with one chin.
They also fall under the " no backsies" rule.
Along with snakeskin miniskirts, fringe vests, leg warmers, and babydoll dresses.
I do love leggings as long as they aren't see through and boyfriend anything.
You are right my friend, comfort is key.

I hadn't heard it called that before, but I know exactly what you mean.
One chin???? Hysterical!!!!!
I like leggings too, black ones (of course!), as long as I wear something long enough on top. :graucho:

Some people have a neck/ chin area that heads south sooner than others.
For those of the unfortunate, me, a neck bow, ruffles or full turtleneck highlight said area giving the wearer a slightly Churchill look.

Thank you so much!
Just keeping it real.
I try to look in the mirror in the morning and make sure my clothes are flattering before I leave the house.
Do not wish to look like Walmartian.

Thank you so much for the pics. I really like those dishes. [emoji3] And the t-shirt. It's very cute.

Thank you for the photos and trend report, RS. A relief to hear that navy plus black is now officially a thing. I wear mostly black, and just bought a navy bag. Have been driving myself (and everyone around me) crazy trying to decide if I can carry a navy bag with all my black outfits. Yes? No? Not when I when I was growing up... but that was in the 15th century, when all sorts of things (white clothing in the winter, asking a boy out on a date) were verboten, and all sorts of other things (a hearty bacon-and-egg breakfast, plenty of sunshine) were good for us.

Completely off topic, but it soooo interesting for me to see what kind of German words creep into the use of native English speakers. Angst, Kindergarten, Schadenfreude and now verboten. [emoji3]
