It's just super-fun for me to have my kid taking an interest in fashion, especially because my husband has basically no interest at all.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz, Jaime</b>, and <b>indigoprint</b>, I think there's something pulling our kids towards those tactile experiences, probably because life has shifted so far away from that.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Ginger,&nbsp;</b>that's a brilliant connection and you're totally right! &nbsp;Probably part of what drew me to that particular one for him. Also...drooling over those pieces. They're gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-gift-request#post-2290235 Mon, 07 Nov 2022 15:26:57 +0000 Bonnie 2290235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wizard robes are amazing!

That's an excellent find! To my eye, the design and layout of the embroidery/embellishment is reminiscent of 18th-century embroidered men's suits. I think he'll love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-gift-request#post-2290154 Mon, 07 Nov 2022 02:07:49 +0000 Jaime 2290154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is a most delightful post Jenn, and gives me hope for the future.

That is fabulous, <b>Jenn</b>! He's going to <b>LOVE</b> it.&nbsp;</p> <p>On the portable typewriter....it's a generational thing. My just-turned-23 year old was <b>SO</b> excited this summer to acquire an old portable manual. They were asking me all kinds of questions about them and had I ever used one, and what was the my first one and who gave it to me and when that was and where in the world did it go, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't seen them actually using this machine. It's more a conversation piece, I guess!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-gift-request#post-2290144 Mon, 07 Nov 2022 01:07:28 +0000 Angie 2290144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hogwarts and YLF are proud </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-gift-request#post-2290140 Mon, 07 Nov 2022 00:33:47 +0000 Indigoprint 2290140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a find.

It took him quite a while to come up with any requests at all, but recently he finally asked for two things: a portable typewriter and “one of those wizard robes like you have.”</p> <p>He calls my Johnny Was duster (see Find) my “wizard robe” and tried it on a while back. I have to admit, he pulls it off, looking way more rock and roll than I do on my best days. </p> <p>He vastly prefers secondhand clothing and has no compunctions about what gender is on the label, so I’ve been stalking eBay and Poshmark looking for a similar embroidered duster that might work for him. I just scored the one in the photos—pre-owned Johnny Was. Nobody tell him! </p>
