I was hysterically laughing out loud. I'm married to THE ultra-metrophobe. My husband calls Ferragamo "Vince Ferrisgamo" and thought "Seven" was the size of a pair of jeans! I've tried to "dress him" too, but everything gets returned or sits in his closet. But my main question is, "When can I go shopping with your dad?" Jenny – so funny.

I WISH I could get him to buy my husband a skinny tie. Or anything that resembles trendy. Or anything at all. Oh well, grass is always greener, I suppose.

Wow! It's so funny that you're talking about this cuz just today, after my husband's outfit last night which consisted of a horizontally red/yellow/blue striped shirt and RED basketball shorts while slumped in front of the TV watching football, and how much he resembles my father and his lack of concern to put it mildly for his wardrobe, I came to the realization that "real men don't care about how they look". Or maybe I'm just trying to justify it come to terms with it - I don't know. I'm totally w/ya on the pre-marital, newlywed malleable stage - luckily, mine was a decade later than yours so there was no gel involved, just shaving off of gotis (sp? ). I seem to not care AS much as I did then, or maybe my husband dresses more of this time period? I don't know - anyway, sorry to blog-hog - good topic. Thanks for listening. O.K….I LOVE your dad! Wow!

I am a bit jealous that you had a few years of actually being able to dress your man. I tried it once, I shopped for days and came home with all of the beautiful fabrics, textures, colors, and patterns that were "in" that season, and within five minutes he had reduced the loot to one pair if khakis....uuuggggghhhh! I learned my lesson and now I am slowly working at taking over his entire wardrobe one piece at a time! Good luck and have a fun birthday celebration. I LOVE IT!!!
