Today I tied my tie in Portland, Oregon. I was on my staff retreat and we were doing site visits so I felt the need to wear a tie. I chose to pack a tie that I've had for close to ten years. It was selected and purchased to wear to a dinner my senior year in high school. Ah history, how it chooses to live on. The alternating blue and green circles on a field of navy in this JCrew tie has been a standby tie. I paired it with a Banana Republic blazer I've actually owned longer, since my sophomore year in high school and a dark blue shirt and brown pants. I felt the whole thing was age appropriate and good for field work.
February 4, 2008:So in order to make it to work on Monday after taking a red-eye flight from Portland I had laid my suit and tie out on Friday. I chose a medium blue shirt and my Banana Republic grey suit, all sensible choices. The tie was a Ted Baker I had purchased on a shopping trip to Arundel Mills with Ian and Natale. I bought it at the Saks outlet. It was an interesting choice, I think. It's a silvery blue tie with a touch of purple with sketches of daisies in lighter blue and green. I think it's playful. I brought a little spring today. People were nervous.
