My hubby, who has never really cared about fashion and whose idea of shopping is walking into Mark's Work Warehouse, grabbing the jeans in a size he's always worn, paying and leaving, has twice in the last month asked me to go shopping for/with him. And not just any kind of shopping - he's asked for hipper (his word - I didn't have the heart to tell him "hip" wasn't an "in" word anymore!) dark wash jeans with perfect PPL (yes...thanks to YLF he knows about PPL), a really nice striped button down shirt, a cashmere crew neck sweater and a zip-up wool sweater. So the last two weekends in a row, off we went to MAN SHOP!!!

We went to The Bay which carries some decent mens brands in my home town and ended up getting him a pair of Diesel jeans (gotta admit - his butt looked fantastic!), a Tommy Hilfiger cobalt blue and white striped button down, and from Gap, a charcoal cashmere crew neck and a plum colored wool zip up sweater. It's been amazing to me seeing how physically different he is when wearing these new items - he stands straighter, walks more confidently and has asked which of his three pairs of glasses look better with what.

I've since asked him why the sudden desire to dress differently and shop and his answer was (and I quote) "Since you joined that YLF site, I see your style evolving and your confidence growing as you learn more about what works for you. I want that too and to look good holding your hand".

So Angie and everyone here at YLF - THANKS from me and my hubby!!!
