On an unseasonably warm February day, Van let me borrow his bow tie. Since this is masculinity at its peak, balance the look with something ultra feminine: short shorts or a playful skirt, and of course a bright lip. Girls, grab your beau & borrow from the boys! (Van, its a slippery slope–I have been eyeing your oxford collection for a year now…)
