This weekend Sean and I went to a benefit dinner for the Irish Cultural Museum. It was a black-tie event, but you were supposed to wear something green, so I was charged with finding Sean a green tie to wear. Now, I have never bought a tie before so I asked him how much one costs before heading out to look for one. He never gave me a definite answer, so I figured I would just look, compare prices and buy one that was green, looked nice and was relatively inexpensive/comparable to the other ties…comparative shopping. So, my first mistake was that I went to Macy’s. I also had to buy a green shawl/scarf thing for me, so I figured that would be a good place to start, and it was. I found a scarf and a tie there for both of us. So, we are on our way to the event and Sean asks me if I really paid that much for the tie. I say I did and he informs me that it is the most expensive tie he owns. Now, in my defense, the tie was on sale and it was about the same price as all the other ties around it. So, what have I learned from this? Don’t go tie shopping.
On another note, the event was a lot of fun with good food, good music and a lot of dancing. 🙂
