Bow on the back

Black dress with white bow Cable & Gauge - similar under 15.00 USD and this one for 12.00 USD
Brown and blue vintage bag Moschino - very similar via Poshmark - Black heels Christian Siriano for Payless

This black dress has been hanging in the closet since February last year, tags on. Today I wore it for the very first time. Its lightweight, has a good length and looks ok from the front, but the back I am not too sold on, the bow seems frumpy and now after just one wear I am wondering if I should have even bought it..

I like the bow in back, I think it's fun! It adds something unexpected to a simple LBD.

I love the unexpected bow detail in the back! It makes the dress so much more unique and special!

I like the bow in the back and don't think it looks frumpy at all!

I do have to confess your cute bag is my favourite thing in this outfit though! :)

Have you thought of covering up the bow with a cardigan or jacket to see if you still like it as much as just a plain LBD? I'm sure the bow is the reason you bought it, but if you're unsure and hiding it away makes you like it more it could be a winner that way :)

Hope you are having a lovely weekend :)

It's an amazing dress but if you've only worn it once and aren't sure it's you it may not be earning it's place in your wardrobe. I have plenty of things that aren't earning theirs so am no expert.

Absolutely adorable Lorena! Those added touches just set a garment apart.

The bow is such a statement! I think it's kind of fun, but I can see how it could make the dress feel somewhat limiting.

I am not quite sold on that particular bow (maybe too large or wonky) though I think the dress is nice and chic and in general I love bows on the back. I think this is another one of these "new trends" (yet it was in style 5 or 10 years ago too and my clothes from then, prove it) that is so hot right now.
