Don’t Doze on Ribbon and Bows!

Old trends are making their way back into fashion. We're not just talking about Y2K and ‘90s trends; we're talking about old-fashioned ribbons and bows. The popularity of using ribbons and bows extends back into the early middle ages, but we won't delve into history for your sake. Let's discuss why ribbons and bows have seemed to stick around all these years. 

Adding the simple embellishment of a ribbon to finalize your look will release dopamine. If you don't believe us, try it out! Tie a bow around the end of your braid tomorrow and see how much better you feel!

We know you're probably all thinking, "This is a fashion blog! Why are we talking about ribbons?" We have perfect recommendations for you to cater to those who may be looking for something a little more extravagant than a bow. 

Finding Ribbon Around the House 

Do any of you have that parent who unwraps gifts carefully to save the paper? They probably keep the ribbon from gifts if we had to bet on it. This option will cost zero dollars, and it will put all that ribbon in your storage closet to use! 

Amazon: The Place for Everything 

Amazon has everything you need in life, so of course they have a plethora of ribbons.

If you want to go the suede route, the "10 Yards Velvet Ribbon Spool Available in Many Colors (Black, 5/8")" is only $8.19. With so much ribbon, you and all your friends can match. 

Target 

The “Satin Bow Hair Barrette - A New Day™” comes in black and white and will easily stay on your head thanks to the secure barrette.
