real women wear bows. yeah they do.

"they're putting bows on grown people's shoes. i'm a grownup!"
- a co worker feeling the bow blues

yes they are.
and i too have been feeling mild disgust by perfectly good ballet flats
and patent pumps ruined by the "final touch".
a freaking bow.
but as i listened to my co worker, it dawned on me:
all bows are not evil.
some bows are beautiful.
and interesting.
tips for picking the right pair:
leave the ones that add bows like an afterthought
and look for shoes that use bows in unique ways.
bows that are defined shapes.
bows that tie the shoe together.
bows that are optional.
we've selected five pair at a variety of price points for your perusing pleasure.
