Perfectly Preppy
Thursday, March 08, 2012Today'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!

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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteCute bow tie! And it's polka dotted... Preppy chic! Looks like you're readying for the weekend.

Very preppy chic Cee! I expect your off to enjoy cocktails on your yacht as you motor around the harbour ;) (We can dream right? Lol)
ReplyDeleteHehe, the day that happens you are more than welcome to come join me on my yacht ;)
DeleteDitto on Kelly's comment! Do you tie the bow or is it a clip?
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
DeleteHubby 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!
DeleteI'd love to hear from you. Constructive criticisms welcome!
