OJ&B Celebrates National Bow Tie Day 2013!

One of my many, many bow ties!

Today is a VERY special day for OJ&B... Why, it's national Bow Tie day!  For those guys and gals who are avid readers of OJ&B and follow me on social media, you know that bow ties are my jam and have been for quite some time.

The first time I wanted to wear a bow tie was for New Year's Eve 2007.  I wanted to sport a black bow tie that you tie yourself, but untied like James Bond.  It sounds easy right?  WRONG!  For some reason in 2007 it was really really hard to find bow ties in Texas as they were not really in style at the time.  Luckily you can now find bow ties at a plethora of places and men and even women can look as dapper as they want anytime!  

The right bow tie can take you places and can make doing things classier and more dapper.  In honor of National Bow Tie Day I am going to share with you all the amazing things that you can do while wearing a bow tie.
