I have always liked stripes because I have always liked the way the designer can put on a show with juxtapositions of color and even pattern to bring a little light and life to a plain suit, and a plain day. Today I wore a bright yellow tie with a green striped flanked with navy and white, as well as a similar set up of a red stripe flanked by navy and white. As an added bonus, there is a light blue stripe that separates the two larger motifs (you have to look close). The tie is from Carlo Palazzi Studio and was a gift purchased at Benetton in Georgetown, and it was because I didn't have a yellow tie. It's bright, and it should be worn with a dark suit so it's free to be seen. I think it's a nice play on the plainer world in which I live and work. It's shiny-ish! I need this kind of thing on a Monday.

Interesting... I think the designer's color inspiration came from my excentric gym teacher's ear rings in elementry school.
