No "me" required, however, the sentence should be rewritten as follows:

"Yo tengo una corbata roja. La llevo todos los días."

It could be the following as well:

"Tengo una corbata roja. La llevo todos los días."

The comma should have been a period or semicolon and the "rojo" should be a "roja" to agree in gender. Also, the "la" is a direct object, not a pronoun. I hope that helps and don't mean to sound picky. :-)

I agree with Cory, it must be "corbata rojA.

<<i>Also, the "la" is a direct object, not a pronoun.<

On this though we do not agree. you are right, Dylan, la is a pronoun and direct object.

My mistake, Dylan and heidita, you are both correct.

"La" in this case is a pronoun, an object pronoun, and furthermore, a direct object pronoun. I misread, writing in haste. Good catch!
