I love the velvet ribbons worn a la Alexa Chung with feminine (and vintage) blouses and cardigans and really love bow ties peeking out from under leather biker jackets. Wearing colorful bows with knitted sweaters give an instant winter coziness while tiny bows with menswear inspired suiting in brown and navy colors give a gorgeous classic look!  </i><br /><i>xoxo</i><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20.796875px;">FOLLOW COCOROSA ON <a href="http://instagram.com/cocorosas" style="color: #999999; text-decoration: none;">INSTAGRAM</a> </span><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/640862/cocorosa" style="color: #674ea7; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20.796875px; text-decoration: none;">BLOGLOVIN'</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20.796875px;"> </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/cocorosablog" style="color: #674ea7; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20.796875px; text-decoration: none;">FACEBOOK</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20.796875px;"> AND </span><a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/cocorosas" style="color: #674ea7; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20.796875px; text-decoration: none;">TWITTER</a></span>
