A rabid micro of moths (yes, that’s the name for a collective group of moths) attacked my collection of ties and destroyed every single one. Oh, the humaniTIE!
April Fool’s!
Okay, now that that’s out of the way, I want to get to today’s tie. It is actually the perfect tie for a fun day such as today. Not because it’s green, and looks like it used to be attached to your Great Aunt Mildred’s couch, but, well, it’s a clip-on! I guess that’s my tie-based homage to April Fool’s Day. Enjoy feeling fooled!
It is from Mitzi Cravat, and the label is another hilarious instance of a designer’s trying to polish a turd…it says “ALL TREVIRA POLYESTER.” As if the word ‘Trevira’ is supposed to make someone think that it’s a good polyester. “Well, honey, Trevira sounds like a city in Italy, so it must be fashionable.” Oh, yeah, and it’s a clip-on.
Last week I talked about Thriftgeek…this one is from there, as well. They are out of their Evanston space, and will be heading down to 3858 N. Lincoln in Chicago. If you get a chance, check them out when they re-open. Susan and BJ are great, and deserve your patronage.
Have a wonderful Easter weekend. I’m off tomorrow, so there may not be an individual tie featured, but I’ll try to post a pic or two from all of my ties being moved. Such an adventure for them!
Thanks for reading…Brooke
