Anything He Can Do, She Can Do Too!

Anything He Can Do, She Can Do Too!

Bow ties aren't just for boys! A couple of months ago I was walking aimlessly in a department store "helping" my brother pick out a tie for a wedding he was going to this past fall. As we searched through one of the two almost untouched small bow tie racks off to the side, I noticed two young high school- aged girls going through the rack next to us.

There was nothing out of the ordinary about them.They resembled any other teenager, their bodies, walking billboards for hollister/ abercrombie/old navy/aeropostale/no one cares. Their long blonde hair freshly straightened, acrylic nails painted a bright magenta and/or metallic blue, and both had a pair of uggs cushioning their feet.









As I watched them each carefully pu
ll a bow tie off from the full rack, my first thought was, maybe they're purchasing one for their boyfriend/s, and/or some male family member's birthday? But then my eyes followed them to a full-length viewing mirror off to the side where they tightened a knot around their own necks. (And might I add, they did a pretty good job for amateurs;)

After they made some minor adjustments they admired their work proudly.
I started to smile as I watched them walk to the register each with a bow tie in hand, and pull out a twenty dollar bill from their matching hello kitty wallets. I thought to myself, maybe I shouldn't have been so presumptuous. There's absolutely NO good reason why a girl can't make a bow tie look fierce too!
