Shopping With Mr. Blundy

Since getting married I have slowly tried to teach the hubs what shoes, shirts, shorts, etc go with each other. I will say it’s getting better, but still not quite there yet. For example, he seems to think that camo shorts go with anything. The biggest issue is what shoes go with different outfits. I’ve tried the subtle hints and even flat out saying, “you’re wearing those with that?” Nothing seems to stick! He really likes this pair of sketchers that I got him for his birthday last year and wears them with EVERYTHING. I’m okay with that because they are nice, it’s just that they don’t go with everything. They are more “nice/dress casual” shoes than “casual” and he tries to pass them off as tennis shoes…it doesn’t work. Anyway…This past weekend we went shopping for some new shoes….and had no luck. He is the hardest person to buy clothes/shoes for. He just doesn’t ever want to spend money on him and it’s hard to convince him he “needs” new shoes or clothes. After the shoe shopping we tried to find some new shirts and jeans for the boy. Another bomb! Stores just don’t make clothes long enough for him…jeans are always too short and shirts never fit. I have the opposite problem, I go to the store and clothes are never small/petite enough for me. Guess it’s back to ordering clothes online, I just don’t like not being able to try them on or making sure they fit before you actually buy them. O’well, I guess that’s life….maybe we’ll have better luck next time.
