Props to the outfit - a black knit would have been nice as well. Makes me want to go to TheTieBar.com and pick up every color of knit tie they have. Wanted to ask though where you scored those lavender socks? I'm looking for some pastels for this S/S. BB has some but I found they're too thick for S/S. I also saw Cole Haan has some but haven't tried them on yet.

Great blog - keep up the terrific work.

Thanks. I hadn’t considered a black knit (although I do have one), because I usually think of only using it for evenings. Interestingly enough, I was thinking that any neutral-colored tie would work (grey glen plaids, etc.), but black completely slipped the mind. I’ll keep that stored for the future.

As for lavender socks, I got mine from Happy Socks, but they don’t seem to have that color on the site anymore. You could check Nordstrom Rack though, as I often have seen them for $5/pair. Also, Gilt occasionally has sales on their socks, too. If you’re willing to spend more per pair, then give dieworkwear’s post on socks a read for suggestions.
