Bow tie love

I went to my first Opera the other day. A friend of mine was performing in the Sydney Philharmonia Choir (wow, right?!) Turns out people still dress up for such occasions.  I saw more than a few bedazzled, floor length gowns and bow ties.

I dont mind a good dickie bow in their natural habitat - dapper older gents, opera going folk, Brad Goreski and the hipsters. But I'd sidelined them as ever actually being a legitimate part of my own sartorial repertoire.  Well, now Nicholas Ruiz's Bow Tie Collection has made me wonder whether I had it all wrong.

The best part, is that Nicholas Ruiz is now working on a Made in Forest Hills bow tie collection that will be available to purchase. I'm looking forward to see what he comes up with next. I think my wardrobe needs a bow tie brooch...oh yes.
