Blogging from the vault: 3/15/06 Meet my dad, the chick

I've got several posts saved in here as drafts. Trying to clear them out, but some will take some editing/expanding. This one is OK as minimally is. It's a hoot b/c before my dad was retired from the Army (and divorced a second time) he used to live by a simple dressing philosophy: he picks the wife, the wife picks the clothes.

ok, i'm pretty sure what i need -- slacks, better than dockers/chinos but not the $100 kind -- grey, navy, black, green, khaki/lt brown, taupe -- to go with a variety of sport coats. then a couple or three very nice tees. lastly some shirts.
