Perfectly Preppy

Thursday, March 08, 2012

Today's outfit is a preppy cliché. Sweater over shoulder? Bow tie? Monogrammed bag? Pier setting? Checkkk! All that's missing is a row of docked boats in the background ;)

Hope you're having a great Thursday!

  1. Love the bow tie, Cee! Did you tie it by yourself? My sister and I recently picked up a bow tie for our brother, but when it came time to tie it, we were at a total loss--even with the help of YouTube and diagrams. Anyway, I'm impressed if you did!

    1. I wish! With my inability to tie regular ties, it's a good thing mine is a clip on ;) I really like the look of real bow ties draped around the neck though; but that's probably not the look you were going for with your brother.

    1. The bow tie is a clip on :) It's a good thing too with my butter fingers when it comes to tying ties lol. I really do like the look of real bow ties draped around the neck. Seriously tempted to buy a gingham (shocker) version just for that purpose.

    2. Hubby taught me how to tie a tie once (was trying to vary up one my pussybow blouses) - it was easy at first and then I forgot the very next day. Bow ties look harder!
