Just Procrastinate And Pet Your Ties

Tie o’ the Day stars in that moment when you look at your desk, and see the towering piles of projects you promised yourself last month you’d get to “tomorrow,” and you’re so freaked out by the still-not-done mess, that you take off your lush green, black, and lavender tie, lay it on the desk, and stare at Tie o’ the Day’s hypnotic paisley for an hour, before you can even begin to burrow through the task mountain you’ve created. Yup, that moment. ๐Ÿ™€ย ๐Ÿ“‘ย ๐Ÿ“ƒย ๐Ÿ“ฅ

And A Good Time Was Had By All, Except Skitter

Skittles Bow Tie o’ the Day accompanied us to my thrilling birthday evening at BAMBARA, for a bass and scallops dinner, and then to the Capitol Theater for an opera doubleheader of PAGLIACCI and GIANNI SCHICCHI. I chose the Skittles bow tie because some people take “high culture” too seriously. A hint of clashy levity in your formal fashion tells others that although you’re at a sophisticated event, you’re here to be art-edified AND have a blast. Suzanne looks smashing. And I look like the circus I am. ๐Ÿคกย ๐ŸŽชย ๐Ÿคนโ€โ™€๏ธ
