Fashion Tips
Gah! I have been trying to post for days but have a zillion things I want to write and can't get though writing a post without getting distracted by another one! I'm just going to wipe my brain clear and forget everything I've been wanting to write and go back to day to day thoughts. So today...
I'm not too much of a control freak, but sometimes I just can't help myself from speaking up. Like this morning. I was hanging out in the bedroom while my husband got ready for work. I tried not to gag when he put on a sea foam colored, short sleeve button up shirt. I was unsuccessful. "Honey, do you mind if I give you just one little fashion tip?" I asked. I was prepared for an eyeroll and silence. Instead, he took the bait.
"Sure."
"Short sleeve button up shirts," I said, and then gave him a big thumbs down.
"So do you want me to just throw it out?"
"Yes." Without a second of hesitation, Spike grabbed his shirt and ripped it off, buttons shooting in all directions. He threw his shirt in a elegant arc across the room into the trash can.
"Happy now?"
Wow. Knowing I was pushing my luck, I said, "and pants are so last year..."
All I got for that fashion tip was a grin. The pants stayed on. Oh well, it was worth a try!

I have some 'gag-puke' shirts I'd like my hubby to toss...
It's funny, how they get attached to the most meaningless, icky things.
oh geesh.
I didn't know how to respond. No woman EVER has enough earrings and if he had to ask, I wouldn't be able to explain it to him. I just said nothing and gave a little prayer in my heart that the heavens would forgive his vile ignorance.
They were silk, and so cool-looking, at least I thought so.
Sooobbb!!!!!
I guess my tast level is suspect.
In other news, I will miss the hippie on Project Runway. Sweet P's time is limited.
This Project Runway tangent is brought to you by yet another Project Runway junkie.
The clarification on the short sleeve button ups is that if you are wearing them for WORK shirts (not the fun Hawaii or print kinds) then they are just too geeky. In my humble opinion that is.
Ok, Ok, you know I am too addicted to actually delete you!
#1 Families are now more important than anything we do in the office!
#2 Aloha Friday.
Needless to say all employees were taken aback by that last one.
Aloha shirts are now coming with company logo embroidery and personalized monograms. It's gotten real outta hand, a competition almost; but hey, they all look awesome one Friday!
'Scuse me, I have to go make a mocking phone call to my father...
And the shirts I bought say Jamaican on them, so they are more towards the Hawaiian theme (although they are much better looking, I think).
They are certainly not anything you could possibly wear to church or work. (except he wears shorts to work, so he could probably wear anything).
Thanks for the tip!
