Vintage

I stopped at Via's Vintage Wear in Uptown this evening when I was out and about. I was looking for a bow tie - not a clip-on, not a ready-made, but a real, honest-to-goodness, tie-it-yourself bow tie. I had picked up instructions on how to tie one when I visited Heimie's Haberdashery a few days ago to buy some shirts and a necktie. The guy there showed me how to tie one and then gave me printed instructions. I'd just recently watched "Holiday" with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn and liked the way the bow tie looked on Grant. The guy in the store told me that when you wear a bow tie, it frames your face differently; plus you have all that shirt space that would have been taken up by the necktie, so he said a bow tie is best worn with a three-piece suit or with a sweater or sweater vest. Here's my new tie:



Should I wear it to work, Kristin?
