Grin and bare it.

Today was a hard choice. I honestly feared wearing this tie because of the formality in it. It is a solid gray satin tie that I bought in high school for a dance (remember those?). It looks silver and gun metal at the same time - I'm sure it was a smash hit. Anyways, I had thought I was going to hide this tie under a sweater (a purple one) but I decided not to at the last minute to let the world see the whole tie as long as I wore color somewhere. I chose to wear my Cole Haan cordovan shoes and matching belt I bought at the NEX. This, I thought was sharp, however when I got to the door I saw that it was raining, so I decided that leather soled shoes weren't the best option and so I instead wore my trusty black Coles with my black plaque belt buckled belt. I felt it was a little monochromatic with my Banana gray suit, but I decided I really didn't care at this point, and that it was sharp enough. I felt like I was dressed as the day was - gray gray and more gray. However, it worked enough that I will try it again when it's not raining so I can wear the cordovan.
