This tie has always felt like a secret message to me, something soft hidden inside something sharp. The black fabric carries the seriousness of a tie, but the dangling hearts change the whole mood, almost like they’re saying, don’t forget to love while you’re trying to look strong.

I wore it on days when I needed to remind myself that style can be armor, but it can also be vulnerability. The hearts swing when you move, like little reminders that it’s okay to be seen, to let people know you care.

I wanted to share it with you because it feels like more than just an accessory. It’s a balance, between toughness and tenderness, between playing dress-up and being completely real. However you keep it, on your wall, in your closet, or on your body, let it remind you of that balance too.
