I am not alone in this newfound predilection for a style arguably best suited to the grammar-school set. In the past few years, they have been sent down the runway at Chanel (simple black in a half-up hairstyle), Tory Burch (low and loose), and Miu Miu (oversize). Bow-wearing is probably the first thing I’ve had in common with Kate Middleton, sartorially or otherwise, as she has a penchant for a low ponytail topped off with a black velvet style from J.Crew, which cost just $22. It has long since sold out, but royal emulators need not despair—Madewell sells a similar one for $9.50. On Middleton, the style is prim, polished, and preppy. Perhaps the appeal of a bow on a woman whose looks already lean oh-so-innocent is that the accessory pushes just a little too hard, suggesting that maybe, deep down, there’s something sharp in that sweetness.

My husband of 27 years, Jim, proposed with a ring that he had designed for me, featuring an antique cushion-cut diamond flanked by rubies. He knew that I had a fondness for antique jewellery. I love it, and it unknowingly started a tradition whereby he has given me a different ring for my wedding finger every year we’ve been married.
