10E2699: Fridays are Tie Days | Self-tie or GTFO (repost)

File under "you never know when you might need one..."    Teen's prom season for example. 

Always keep your eyes peeled at thrift stores for black 'ties so you are not caught out.  This vintagey example made by AKCO in England and worn (I believe...) as part of the legal wear for A. Laurie and Co. solicitors in Edinburgh (Scotland).   I did get this in an Edinburgh thrifty so makes sense...

10E2698: FATD | A small church thrift store in Cambridge MA

Hat tip to one of the OGGGGG preppy bloggers Guiseppe Timore on this one...  A church thrift store in Harvard Square ("square" has 2 syllables in the vernacular).  It is small.  It is cramped.  But it is cheap. 

Shirts from your faves + maybe some 80s windbreakers or jackets. And great $4 ties...  Reminder - at this point you are standing 500 yards from the Andover Shop itself.

 

 

Christ Church Thrift Shop, 17 Farwell Pl, Cambridge, MA
