Trend Setter??

I usually save the ridiculously out of style ties for days that I know I don't have meetings that require me to look too professional. Today was one of those days, until I found out that I had to go to our main office to meet with the Director of the NY Business Unit for my company.  I hope that he thought my 1980's, Southwestern fingerpaint styled, Series 417 tie by Van Heusen was some sort of new hipster fashion trend.

Wonder Woman

Ties don't just need to be worn around your neck.  This Geoffrey Beene, burgundy, 100% silk tie was re-purposed into a stylish headband and bracelet by one of my talented co-workers.

FIRESTARTER!!

A true relic from the days of Mad Men, Donald Draper would have been proud to sport this Series 417 by Van Heusen matchbox patterned tie.  No longer an accepted office activity, this tie was banished to the smokers area outside.

Dress to Impress

Today was full of important meetings and in true "dress for the job you want, not the one you have" fashion, I decided to wear a tasteful tie from the collection.  This Geoffrey Beene cube patterned tie made from 100% silk did just the trick.  Don't worry, I will be sure to fill next week with a nice mix of unstylish and outdated ties.

Pulitzer Worthy

Classic, skinny, paisley patterned, tie by Bert Pulitzer made from 100% silk.  I am without words.

Multitask Tie

I found this cute puppy running away from her owner on my way home from work today. In true Indiana Jones fashion, I lassoed the pup with this 1980's fingerpaint patterned tie by Van Heusen and saved the day.

Doodle Tie

Today's Geoffrey Beene 100% silk tie was not a fan favorite to say the least.  The pattern, probably drawn by an 8 year old, was no match to the doodles I found on my desk by one of our interns.  I don't know what's worse, the tie or this interns future performance review....
