Springtime Shirt + Tie Combo

While out mall shopping at Banana Republic last weekend, I found a nice shirt + tie combo that will be perfect for welcoming Springtime at the office.

Why does this combo work? We’re mixing and matching different patternsâ€”in this case, a check with a tiny circle pattern. But even though we’re mixing it up through patterns, we’re keeping the scale of the patterns relatively similar, so as not to confuse the eye.

Scharffen Berger chocolate has a deliciously creamy texture and a full, rich flavor. Chocolate connoisseurs would agree that the Milk Chocolate is to Die for.

Let’s just say that once you go Scharffen Berger, you don’t go back.
