October's Cover Shot

Photograph by Matthew Rolston

On the cover of this month's More  magazine, Mrs. O flaunts another stunning Maria Pinto sheath dress in a punchy pink with a purple silk bow askew at the neckline. The color is a perfect choice. It's bright but not garish; stylish but warm. It flatters her silhouette with a perfect fit as always. And shows off those arms that even 25 year-olds envy. Many bows can give any look a cutesy feel, but this one gives it a wink with its size, rich color and placement. Diamond studs are the prefect, understated complement for the overall look. With a dress like that, who needs anything else? Once again, Mrs. O proves her keen sense for knowing when less is more. And for all you semi-crafty types: with a quick run to your local fabric store and a yard of satin ribbon, you can make your own Mrs. O bow for under $5.

I'm really obsessed with the bow. It's a little Blair Waldorf-ish.

I'm from Singapore. I really enjoy Mrs. O'S sense of style and look forward to more.

I can handle the bow here, but I'm not feeling it in all cases; maybe it's already an over-used design element, one that she should let hibernate for a while?

For instance, I love love LOVE the Thakoon inside out floral dress, but the bow on it detracted from the fashion-forward aspect of it; made it seem more girly and retro. In this simple purple dress, the bow works.
