Yeah. Not me either.<br \/>\nBut apparently you do and apparently I don&#8217;t have anything that falls into that category.<br \/>\nI do have a black suit jacket, but the back of the pants were ripped at a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianwrestling.com\">CWF<\/a> show a while back. I&#8217;ve worn it with another pair of slacks as well, but honestly I don&#8217;t know what happened to them.<br \/>\nSo tonight <strong>Laurie<\/strong> and I are going to a wedding and I think it hit her mid-week that I didn&#8217;t have anything to wear to this fancy evening wedding.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve been to one other wedding together and I thought what I wore was nice&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/jdblundell\/205362622\/in\/set-72157594286982276\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/82\/205362622_6357d85ada.jpg?v=1154578732\" width=400><\/A><br \/>\nOops wrong photo.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/jdblundell\/215343568\/in\/set-72157594286982276\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/68\/215343568_494eca9f4f.jpg?v=0\"><\/A><br \/>\nBut the pants I&#8217;m wearing in that photo are just a bit too faded now. So the Dockers are out.<br \/>\nAnyways, Laurie went on her own and bought me several new shirts out of the blue on Wednesday as well as some new jeans and slacks. She&#8217;s awesome.<br \/>\nBut while I can wear 36-34 in jeans, 36-34 in slacks tends to be another story. I can&#8217;t even button them.<br \/>\nSo last night we went back and returned the slacks and went to Kohls to look for some new ones.<br \/>\nApparently I know nothing about color coordination because I was ready to just buy a new pair of black slacks to go with the navy blue\/baby blue stripped shirt. Apparently that&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/tlc.discovery.com\/fansites\/whatnottowear\/whatnottowear.html\">no-no<\/a>.<br \/>\nYou also can&#8217;t wear navy blue with brown slacks. To be honest, I&#8217;m not sure why stores sell navy blue anything because it doesn&#8217;t go with anything. Oh well.<br \/>\nLuckily my life is pretty good at keeping up with <a href=\"http:\/\/tlc.discovery.com\/fansites\/whatnottowear\/whatnottowear.html\">What Not to Wear<\/a> so after a good deal of searching and a couple different attempts, we found the perfect outfit that we both liked.<br \/>\nI told my mom it&#8217;s a good thing I&#8217;m married, because I probably would have shown up at the wedding in Dockers and a polo shirt if not jeans and a polo shirt.<br \/>\nGranted, I also probably wouldn&#8217;t be going to the wedding if I wasn&#8217;t married either ;-).<br \/>\nI love you baby. Thanks for being patient with my ignorance.<br \/>\nOh and for Laurie&#8217;s take on the shopping experience, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/?p=121\">be sure and read her blog<\/a>.<br \/>\nAnd we&#8217;re going camping after the wedding tonight &#8211; so pray for NO rain.
