    To Knot or Not to Knot?


    I have recently come across photos of many young girls embracing the hot summer weather by knotting a part of their ensemble. While my immediate reaction was a quick flashback to the early nineties, I have to say the look has definitely grown on me. The lovely young lady in the photo looks fresh and stylish with this modern take (leaving her T-shirt clip behind!):



    Below you will find more examples inspired by twists and knots to decorate both yourself and your home.

    I love that white bracelet!

    When I saw the title and the image of that girl (who by the way, looks very cool) I thought you were referring to her bun... and I was like "yup, in the summer heat, long hair gets the bun!"

    but yes... her knotting looks great. I don't know that I could pull this off but maybe I don't have any shirts that would work like this.

    DB - what a great coincidence! (+ great taste too, I might add!)

    SH - haha, funnily enough, I had the same thought when I initially glanced at the photo - I thought it was referring to her top knot (always a favourite summer hairstyle of mine too :) )
