On ties

I like dressing well. This may seem in contradiction to my boo pants philosophy, but it's not. When I have to go out of the house, I want to look my best. When I don't, I clearly define that it is time for fun and relaxation by wearing casual, comfortable and sometimes, I admit, ugly. Ugly has a place.

So I'm browsing the Internet and come across some Burberry sale items. Burberry has nice stuff. And I am a fan of ties. A tie is one of the ways a man can express himself when he dresses professionally.

But I'm not paying $108 for a tie. It's a nice tie, but I can do a lot for $108.

Likewise, this fantastic cashmere muffler. Gorgeous, but $300 is just outrageous.

Sure, I'd look great. I'd look great as I walk into bankruptcy court.
