Want to hear a little story? Yes? OK. Once upon a time, I was at J.Crew (ok, it was the other day), and the girl who was ringing me up was the cutest little girl ever. I think she was maybe 17, or well she looked 17. Anyways, she had a grey wool tie tied around her neck in a bow. It blew my mind. It was so freaking cute; I couldn’t stand it. I knew Kev had that same grey wool skinny tie at home, and I knew I wanted to copy the idea. I went with his floral tie instead today, but you can bet I will wear the grey one in a bow sometime soon.

The End.

Good story, huh? Haha. I am hooked on this idea of a mans tie as a bow. I had to try it with my new favorite dress! I feel like I say “my new favorite dress” a lot, but I just love a good dress. I love the full skirt and subtle details in this Chambray Dear Creatures dress. Perfection!
