Toronto Tie

Shopping in Toronto with Suzanne and Patti , I picked up a strip of polka-dot cloth. S&P looked puzzled. "What can you do with that?" they asked. I had an idea.

Today I'm using it as a "lady bowtie." I tied it around my neck while wearing a cute red bodysuit I bought from a dance-website. The resulting look pleases me. What do you think?

  2. It's super cute! I have a scarf I wear like this too! I love the polka dots against the red bodysuit - perfection. :)

  3. Definitely works. You'd never know it was just a piece of cloth and not a bona fide scarf.

    The colour choices are so striking. I love it!

  10. Pussy bow!!! I heard once that it's actually called that because they are the answer to women wearing a tie when they joined the workforce.

  13. Fabulous! This style of necktie is so fun and classic, calling to mind fashionistas from the 70s and 80s in particular. Very creative styling, my friend.

    Have a fabulous Friday,

  18. Very retro cool! I remember wearing these often in the early 80's.
    I like the black and red especially with a black skirt. Also I've always been a fan of paisley.
    You've got "the eye" for a potential accessory! Could work as a headband too.
