Our shopping trip yesterday was successful. My son found a suit, and also six shirts and two ties. We worked hard, but came up roses. Looking at men's suits is not something I'm that familiar with, since my husband, as a scientist, never had to wear them. He bought two for our daughter's wedding, then maybe he's bought another since, but I can't remember. I have been shopping before with both sons, but only the elder needs these kind of dress clothes, because he is going to be interviewing for jobs soon. I my self no longer own a suit. The era of pantsuits is over for me. And as a college teacher, I never needed to be dressed up. So it's a bit fun to look carefully at the minutest differences in fabric, color and style. Everything is ulta subtle in men's suits. And since he has a black suit and a gray one, he was looking for blue. Next time it will be brown. Not too exciting, but the good part is they never really go out of style, and he'll wear them for life. I'm not sure I can say the same thing about my clothes, though I have had some coats and sweaters for 25 or 30 years. And I have some retro coats that came from the 1950's. One I call my Kim Kovak coat.
When I got home my husband had ordered pizza and we watched "Christmas in Connecticut". I love Barbara Stanwick and Dennis Morgan in it. Stanwick was edgy for her time, and had a great way with a line. I like that persona of hers.
