i've purchased about 6 ties in the last week and I don't see myself slowing down. I don't really need anymore ties but I feel compelled to buy them because I want to expand my tie color palette. today was a pretty good haul. I went to the thrift store and someone unloaded a buttload of Brooks Brothers ties, so I got two BB paisley ties (one red and one blue), a maroon paisley Christian Dior tie and a pink paisley tommy hilfiger tie (still new with the original $50 price tag on it). the quality feels pretty nice and I got them all for the sum of $7. I also got a couple of ties from Macy's since they seem to be having a perpetual tie sale - got a pink DKNY tie and a mauve/lavender/floral Hugo Boss tie because they were both heavily discounted.
I have to say, I usually don't have much luck when it comes to thrifting, but today was a pretty good day for a change. most used ties I come across look like they've been to hell and back, so i'm glad I found some decent brands today for next to nothing.
I think 4 paisley ties should about cover it - are there any other must-have colors/motifs/patterns I should look for when i'm about and about?
