Dress Up Buddie

Not to rub it in after the Dishwasher Debacle, but I did find the world’s best birthday gift for Buds this year.

(Too soon, Buddie?)

Each month a package arrives with new clothes for Buds. They are sized for him, well-made, and fashionable. Because he goes into a business environment most days, clothes had become a point of anxiety for him. He can be pretty casual, but the eccentric IT brainiac image doesn’t shield him from all expectations of attire.

It feels like an exciting surprise when the package arrives each month.

Except for the men’s liner socks incident (Who would wear these?!), he’s been tickled with everything.

This month did have a bit of a wrinkle with the zipper shirt:

He wore it today with a t-shirt from a previous month under it. It looked very nice, but he did take some ribbing from a co-worker about it being a jacket, and by the way she’d like to have one, too.

The nearly seersucker shirt that also arrived looks great, too:

Here’s a picture of two shirts from a previous month, with the bonus goatee.

This is one subscription we’ll be keeping for awhile.
