I too liked the idea and was excited to see that the Bloggers Do It Better challenge was Prep School. The requirement was to wear a tie, vest and/or blazer. I've never actually tried this "menswear" look. But there's something really fun about it! I might have to start stealing Camouflage's ties (he doesn't wear 'em that often, anyways).
Well, I'm off to a women's church retreat this weekend. It'll be nice to have some time sans kiddos to fellowship, listen to a speaker, do crafts and possibly get a little shopping in. I think I'll keep my tie on too. Because I love the idea of wearing menswear to a women's retreat!

Women's retreat... how fun! My church has one every year, but I've never gone. I always think it'd be fun though. Maybe next time, I will.
And by the way, I think you look fantastic! I wore a tie today, too and it was so much fun! My husband loved it on me. =) I really like that orange & khaki!
You pulled off the challenge well! Women's retreat sounds like lotsa fun.

Claire, I'm enjoying your blog. It seems we have quite a bit in common, apart from the obvious...this play on tomboy style is something I love to do. Fabulous look! xx from Soleil.

I agree, it was fun to try a menswear look! I love the tie and sweatervest, especially with the feminine sandals.
Menswear is always tough because you have to balance it out with something feminine - but you did it perfectly!
Love this look! You make old men's ties look amazingly sexy worn like that. I'm off to the thrift shop to find me a wide old tie!
love this look and the colors :) I hope you have fun.
I would have enjoyed it more, if another language into Language. one of my friendknew the language than written in this kind of blog ET told me and I liked that. effectively writtenanyways.
