Today's Everyday Fashion: It's a Tie







































No need to adjust your screen, I am in fact wearing a tie. This is also not a late Halloween costume, it's just me trying out a "trend" to see if it works in real life. I personally think it's not all that different than wearing a statement necklace over your collared shirt, and overall I think it's a cute look for the right occasion (perhaps a casual Friday in a creative office?). Can't wait to hear what you guys think though - do you think bow ties work in real life? Would you wear one?

Inspiration photo: J.Crew Factory
Jacket: Banana Republic, $75
Shirt: Gap, $15
Bow tie: Urban Outfitters, $10
Jeans: American Eagle, $33
Shoes: Calvin Klein via Filene's, $70


1. Charlotte Russe bootcut distressed jeans, $36.99
2. PacSun skinny distressed jeans, $49.50
3. ASOS boyfriend distressed jeans, $80.86

    This actually looks cute the way you styled it. 

    I am always leery to wear a bowtie or a tie, because it reminds me of my waitressing days when I HAD to wear one. I don't want to look like I am working at Bob Evans, lol!  Heather

    I love the Bow Tie trend for women.  I have a few myself.  Your look is great and so is the inspiration look.

    I have a couple ties myself. I'm currently in the process of making some of my own bow ties. I love menswear accessories and pairing it with a skirt/feminine piece.

    Love this post!

    I checked it but the link seems to be working fine for me - is anyone else having trouble with it?

    That makes total sense! I think my college roommate would echo these sentiments, she had to wear one for work too!

    I like the tie w/blazer look, I'm so excited that "men's" style is in right now! I can't wait to break out my beau's chunky sweaters and ties.

    Jan, the closest thing I have is this artcile on 6 ways to wear spring scarves. Try searching on YouTube though - there are tons of great videos that show you new ways of wearing scarves on there! http://www.jseverydayfashion.com/2011/04/6-ways-to-wear-spring-scarves.html

    I don't think I'd wear one of those because I'd be too scared but you look AWESOME! Wow, love it.

    I was thinking the SAME thing... the bow tie reminds me a little too much of my college watiressing job! haha...  love the rest of the look, though!

    I definitely don't think I could wear this trend but you pull it off and look cute : )

    You look adorable...I feel like I would look like a waiter. At the end of the day though, I think it's all about HOW you wear it and the confidence you bring with you!

     Love this I think you look really professional, just throw on dark washes or black skinnies and it could definitely be moved more places where distressed jeans are too casual.

    Do you wearing leggings under your ripped jeans? I noticed that I never see any skin peeking through the holes.

    Katy, these are "faux" ripped jeans. they actually doubled up on the layers so the rips are over a layer of denim and no skin shows through. That is partly why I bough them! :-)

    I think it's totally wearable - you look really cute!  I saw a pic on pinterest once too that was a bowtie of sorts but it had little tassles on it - been meaning to try it ever since.x

    I personally wouldn't go for it, but it's super fun on you!

    hmmm, not really a fan (for myself anyway!) but agree with some other comments that the outfit rocks without it!

    I love this!  One of my favorite episode that Jennifer Aniston wore on Friends was when she wore a tie.  Ever since then I have been trying to figure out how to wear one!  Yours is a bowtie so I would LOVE to see some long tie ideas!!

    I agree... a little too adventurous for me. If you have confidence in your outfit, you can rock whatever you want.

    First I clicked on the logo, which doesn't work, you have to click on the hyperlink in J's text. That worked for me.

    Wow, I work in a casual creative office and this is a GREAT look. You're inspiring me to shop for a cute and feminine cut blazer. LOVE the heels with this. So much girl power and sass. :)
