I removed my blazer after leaving church for my walk around Rittenhouse square. I was halfway through my walk when a persistent feeling of shame hit me and I put the blazer back on.

But when you've got the itch to try that new bowtie/ensemble sometimes you have to go for it! I'd race you for that bowtie any day!!!<br /><br />I have alot of ties and bowties, for that matter. After reading your post, I decided to glance over my own collection and noticed that I have no yellow ties whatsoever! Most (neck and bow) are rep stripes, many are "neat" patterns, and some are paislies. Reds, earth tones, and navy blues, no solids, but no yellow. <br /><br />I like your yellow bow tie and could most likely get away with wearing it since I am employed in education. It seems the field of education (college profs., teachers, and the like) have more room to experiment with "professional" clothing(suits, ties, etc.). <br /><br />But why is there a stigma (for lack of a better term) for yellow ties in the boardroom or in a business setting? I'd be interested to know, since I have worked in education for most of my adult life...<br />Just curious.C.L.

(No shade of yellow flatters everyone; you have to find the ones that work for you.)<br /><br />Yellow also works as a supporting color; I have several ties with thin yellow stripes, or yellow in the plaid. Yellow shirts are another way to add this underutilized color to our wardrobes.<br /><br />Regardless, there is a certain pleasure and freedom in dressing for yourself rather than dressing for another (understanding, of course, that we no matter where we are, we are always dressing for others). The secret, <a href="http://asuitablewardrobe.dynend.com/2012/06/limit-yourself.html" rel="nofollow">it has been argued</a>, lies in keeping our sartorial statements limited to one at a time--just as Giuseppe has done here.Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-6914037115296634762012-07-11T09:27:53.417-07:002012-07-11T09:27:53.417-07:00Love it the hell out of it, G.
