I had always dreaded attending formal events. I hated getting dressed up in these suits that just didn't fit my personal style. I always thought that if some how I could just personalize my formal style just a bit, I would feel more comfortable. I started by trying out ties which were a little of the beaten path, but it just didn't work out. The ties often attracted to much attention and my wife would complain all night long about how hideous my tie was. The ties may not have worked, but I was determined to find a way to set myself apart from everyone else even if I was the only one who noticed the difference.
