Speaking of Bow Ties

The evening of the day when I wore the bow tie in the previous post, I had tickets for the Belle & Sebastian show at DAR Constitution Hall.  I've been a huge fan since my freshman year of college--a stretch of time which I'm starting to have to measure in geologic eras.  (Oh, my, what a horrible website redesign!) 

Anyway, I loved the bow tie so much that I came home, swapped my suit pants for a pair of jeans, traded my suit jacket for a white cotton buttondown from the Gap, and stuck a blue checked pocket square in the shirt pocket.  Suitably festive for such an historical occasion, I think.  Wish I had a navy blazer.
