These Are My Ties #7: New Job Tie

Three months ago, when I accepted my new job at The Beguiling, my esteemed husband outdid himself and gave me a congratulatory tie. Here it is!

Christopher knows a good tie when he sees it. The hot pink was certain to appeal, and gosh is it shiny!

The fine silk is given some heft by the dense texture of the floral pattern. Because of the sheen and the delicacy of the fabric, I would usually call this an evening tie. But worn under a v-neck, cardigan, or zip-up, this could provide just the right amount of glamour to dress up an otherwise humdrum day.

The weight of the tie and its shiny, evening formality pretty much demand a full Windsor, but what this tie lacks in jauntiness it makes up for in swankiness.

Hooray for new jobs and new ties!
