Look Before You Leap!

By now you know I like to shop at thrift stores.  Sometimes I can find nice thing with reasonalble price.  The downside of thrift shopping is items are not always in pristine condition.

This is a Christian Dior tie I got this afternoon.  As you can see, it's damaged.  I noticed the damage after I'd come home!!  It was very careless of me that I had not checked the condition of the tie.
So, learn from it.  Always check the items before you pay.
Anyways, it's too late now.  The good part is the damage is not noticeable when I wear the tie, and I really like the coloe and design of it.  It took me about an hour, but I fixed the damage.

 Now, it is in wearble condition, and I can enjoy it! 

I tried the tie on a vintage Dior shirt.  Worn with 80s' taxido jacket, GAP pants, vintage Tony Lama western boots, and a Gucci straw hat.
The fixed part is completely hidden, and nobody would see it unless I slip my mouth. 
So, let's keep it secret between me and the readers!!
