How to Wear a Bow

by Kaitlynn Courtright

My Aunt Alli and Aunt Robin have been telling my Mommy that I really need to start wearing hairbows like a proper little girl. Otherwise everyone might think I'm just another little boy like my brother Connor, especially since I look just like he did as a baby. So I've been practicing everyday and am finally getting the hang of this bow stuff.

The easiest way to wear a bow is to get a couple of stretchy headbands that you can use with any kind of bow clip.

All you have to do is change out the alligater-clip bow to match your outfit.

But be careful to make sure the band is the right size. Too tight will leave an indention in your forehead and make you uncomfortable.

And too loose will cause the headband to fall in your face.

You can get all kinds of bows to match your wardrobe.

Big bows...

Small bows...

Colorful bows...

And even just a plain white bow for that difficult-to-match outfit.

I also love the matching headband bow that comes with some of my clothes. These are really easy for coordinating, but can sometimes get lost in a load of laundry.

And my mom really impressed my Aunt Robin by putting together this number:

So I think we've learned a lot about bows and I'm going to make sure my Mommy has just the right bow for me from now on. But, if for some reason we can't seem to find that perfect bow...

I can always just wear a hat!
