FRIDAY CHALLENGE 08/30/13 -- The Purple Tie

[Claghorn]

I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

Rules are straightforward: wear a purple tie.

Jacket and tie are linen.

My entry, a day early, as I'll be casual tomorrow, in anticipation of getting on a plane for several hours, heading west to Vancouver.

Note that the footwear in this picture was expressly chosen at the suggestion of Claghorn.

My entry for the challenge


Close up pic to show the true color (hopefully)

NOT AN ENTRY, BUT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT'S NICE.

First time I've ever worn this suit. Looking at the picture, I think that the pants need to be taken in a bit in the crotch (a little too much fabric there) but otherwise, I'm pleased with how it turned out..

Assuming that my tailor finishes altering a suit of mine by this afternoon, and that I can post my entry one day early, I'm in. I won't see the results until my return from Vancouver/Seattle on the 7th, but as I have virtually no chance of winning, not exactly a nail-biter of a finish.

Just wear those cowboy boots again.

Went into my closet to see if I have any purple ties
Didn't realize that I actually have 7.

Did the same. I have four: three solid and one pattern. I'ma wear the patterned one.

I may or may not play this week. I hope it will be fun either way.

Those boots and a purple tie? I must be perceived as more of a vulgarian that I had previously imagined . . .

I knew clag had this planned since I sold that tie months ago. He saw it happen and planned this thing from the very beginning.

Subscribed. Any restrictions on the shade of purple (e.g. does lilac work)?
