An accessory can make or break an outfit. Too many and you feel like a walking Christmas tree, none and you can feel a little bare. As a passionate vintage collector, I am always hoarding treasures but one of my favourite, simple (and yes, extremely cheap!) accessories is a piece of ribbon.
Many people associate a bow with childhood but it doesn't have to be a two-pigtails-in-the- playground affair. Marie Antoinette adorned her shoes and dresses to show her wealth, couture designers have favoured bows and ribbons for many a catwalk collection and even high street shops are using them to their advantage. Here are my ten ways to accessorize the bow...
