neckties for ladies

Is it in style at all for a woman to wear a necktie? My wife wears neckties quite often, yet you hardly ever see another woman wearing one. She wears her ties just as a man would, with the top button of the shirt buttoned, and the tie tied tight. Her ties are mostly in pastel or bright colors, so I suppose they are somewhat femanine. Sometimes she will wear a shirt and tie with a business suit, which I think may be a little too masculine, but when she wears a shirt and tie under a v-neck or crew neck sweater it is real cute, and under a v-neck sweater vest it looks incredible. Is this an acceptable look for a forty something mother of three? I think a lot of people may think she is gay, especially since she has been wearing her hair very short.

sorry it took a year to post some pics- here she is.

ssssss

Searching the net I have found that many people do think ladies look good in neckties, and I have to agree. But I would not say it is mainstream fashion.
