subscribeWhat He Wore…the Birthday Boy

birthday boy with his birthday bow tie
You may have seen that the boy up there had a birthday last week. We left the house to head out on our dinner date and the man looked so dapper, I ran back inside to get the camera and made him pose in the heat for photos. Sorry Love, I know I had promised no outfit photos in honor of your birthday. But you are so darn cute, you see…
One of Ant’s gifts from me this year was a pair of bow ties. I found out on Father’s Day that he wouldn’t be opposed to donning one here and there, and I quickly recorded that knowledge in my memory. I pulled out the two most masculine cottons I could find in my fabric stash and started drafting a few patterns. It was tricky because I have no idea how thick his neck is and I certainly couldn’t ask and risk spilling the beans. So I drafted and cut and sewed and tied them around my neck until finally I thought I had a close enough size that would suit Anthony. Along the way I learned how to tie a bow tie and who’d have known it’s so fun? Anyway, I’m excited to build him a little collection of handmade bow ties. And maybe a neck tie or two is in order?
He is wearing:
Spectacles // Warby Parker
Bow tie // handmade by his wife
Bracelet // Energy Muse
Button up // ASOS
Denim // Good Society
Shoes // PF Flyers
Happy Friday! XoXo.
Thanks for being a huge inspiration to me. I love how you just decided to make a bowtie. Not too many people can see something and be able to make it. CRAFTY!
