Ties. Now, before you protest that they're insanely common: I'm a female. Don't get me wrong, I'm 111% straight, and I don't have a cross-dressing fetish or anything, but I just really love tying and wearing ties. I honestly think it's ridiculous that it's considered "unacceptable" for females to wear ties; I enjoy it, so what's the harm in wearing them once in a while?
My favorite knots to tie are the trinity knot (for fancy occasions) and the Prince Albert knot (for everyday occasions). I'll usually wear my tie with some sweater/cardigan thingy like this or this. I'm relatively flat-chested too, so it works rather well on me.
nicely blending a classic style and a much younger modern one.
Ultimately, that's the look I aim for with ties: Modern, but not exceedingly casual.
Also, it's great that your daughter takes the opportunity to wear ties at work! I work part-time in a front desk/secretary position for a company, and their dress prohibits the wear of ties or bow ties by female workers.
It's more of a conforming to "traditional female appearance" thing. Also, I live in the Southeast US, so women wearing ties is more likely to be challenged here than in someplace such as NYC or SF, for example. It's a bit of a shame, but there's not much I can do about it if I wish to continue getting a paycheck! :P

I though Avril Lavigne wore ties rather well ... I'd say if you enjoy wearing it, then don't listen to people saying you shouldn't!
Haha, thanks. I take the opportunity whenever I can! ;)
