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
