the bow tie

I already have an addiction to vintage clothing. I know that. But what I have learned over time that it isn't just the women's clothing that I am head over heels for. 


I love men's vintage.

It all began with the bow tie. I have long had a crush on the look of a bow tie on, and off, of a man.


Then my crush became more of a full blown love when I discovered the skinny tie. And gradually it encompassed sweaters, trousers, and everything under the sun.


I'm in love with all vintage clothing. And this is a real problem. Other than for the basic reasons of being overly materialistic, and a bit idolatrous (hey, at least I admit it), I have no reason to buy bow ties, skinny ties, or awesome flannel shirts. And I can't really afford it. And it's not like I'm going to wear them (my Avril days ended in middle school).


But, nonetheless, I still go through shop after hole-in-the-wall shop, and dig through the men's section, just to drool over some flower printed bow tie that I will not buy, and no one will wear. Instead, I come back home with purchases of my own (horrible, I know), and vent to you all about my ridiculous obsession.


This probably won't cure my silly little fetish. Maybe next time I'll buy it. Someone try and stop me.
