Garish or what?........

Today Brian had to wear a bright tie to school in memory of a staff member who died earlier on in the year and who was renowned for his bright ties and socks.

Brian doesn't own any bright ties.....

He has a range of blue ties......

One light blue tie with dark stripes, one dark blue tie with light stripes, a dark blue one with light blue squares......

You get the picture..... they go well with all the blue shirts he has!!

He asked me to look for a bright one in the op-shop but there was nothing 'garish' to be found.....

So I resorted to buying a little girls summer dress which was orange with shocking pink flowers on it.....

A few cuts here and there......


a bit of seam stitching and pressing and voila...



Bright enough?

Evening photos in the winter are the pits - sorry - soooooooo dull!! But you get the idea don't you?

Dull? That tie creates it's own illumination, so I guess it fit the bill wonderfully..! You are a clever little pommie you know ;o)
