This tie came with pair of pants I got back in high school and I kept it because I always loved it but wasn't sure how to style it. I thought why not tie it in a bow and wear it around my favorite J.Crew top!? I love the way it dresses up the whole outfit. I paired the tie/shirt combo with Lilly Pulitzer Luxury Capris in midnight navy and my Kate Spade Kalle Wedges. You can do this with any tie! I wrapped it around my neck and tied a pretty bow.
