Does this Outfit Work?

On a whim, I purchased this cute fitted tie-neck shirt from the Gap because it was on sale. And I was drawn to the little tie thingamabob.

Here's the tie-neck shirt on the Gap models:

I'm not crazy about the bow.


Cute but would be even cuter with a sweater!

I've seen this tie thingy on other blouses and always thought it was cute (especially when paired with a v-neck sweater). So I thought, what the hell.

I didn't love the shirt by itself so on another whim, I purchased a cute navy blue button up sweater vest from J. Crew (it was on sale... I'm a sucker for a deal).

So, I put it together and am not sure how I feel about it.

Excuse the poor lighting. I'm in the women's bathroom at my office. And don't worry - nobody was in the bathroom when I snapped this pic.

Does it work? Is it too "Ellen"? Weird? I'm pairing it with jeans and some brown flats.

Random side note - when I volunteered at the Food bank yesterday, I noticed a sign they posted in their bathrooms that read:
If you sprinkle when you tinkle,
please be neat and wipe the seat!


Genius.
