Are ties just for boys? Neigh!

When I found this tie at work I couldn't not get it. I mean, it's a hand painted tie of a horse with rhinestone eyes. Need I say more?

I come across interesting ties a lot and always pass them by, Sams taste in neckwear is pretty modern so until this one it never occurred to me that I could wear them. I liked wearing it so much I picked up another 40s hand painted tie with ducks on it today! I'll save that for fall though.

Twila Jean and I went to Portland today for some thrifting, of course she found some pretties for her shop, and I found some pretties for my closet! The duck tie, a 40s sweater, and a darling polka dot playsuit you are going to love.

50s sweater, 40s shoes, and tie-The Urban Eccentric

I have been wearing a tie to work with a button down shirt and wide legged pin striped pants. I get the craziest comments!

Aww, I love the tie with the 1940s-ish outfit! Seriously, I wonder what that tie was made for . . . it's pretty wonderful!
