In random news...

A man just came in for an interview wearing navy blue, pleated slacks that are too big for him, a light blue dress shirt (also too big) and a bolo tie.   

That is all.

[Chirp]

What, no Stetson to go along with that tie?

I'm most bothered by the pleated-front slacks.

[dixienormous]

I'm sad there were no snake skin boots

[gault]

PLEATS!!!!

Am I a sad sack that DH is the one who has to tell me what goes with what in my closet? I am getting better, but you all would probably make fun of my absent fashion sense.

[margarita]

Well, that's...different.

I managed to get rid of H's jorts, I cannot get him to move to flat front khakis.

He's admitted that flat front looks better, but for some reason it's stuck in his head that pleats are more professional. No. No. No. No. No. They're pleated. BURN THEM.

I think it's time for a bonfire for the Chirp household!

Brad swore for years that his thighs were too thick to wear anything but pleats. Guess who took him shopping to try on flat front plants and guess what fit just fine and made his oak trees look more like dogwoods and guess what he now wears every damn day?

You got it.

[starrieskies]

It was just an altogether ill fitting, mismatched outfit. And his shoes were dirty... Now, my dad wears a bolo tie when he dresses up sometimes, but it's with a western style dress shirt, slacks that fit, and freshly polished black boots...

[bowies]

So you're saying my bolo tie is out of style? It goes really well with my dream catcher earrings.

Actually, now that I think about it... he just bought new pants on Tuesday. And they're flat front. That means I get to throw away all the old man pleats.

I completely forgot that I persuaded ::coughdemandedcough:: him into the flat fronts.

[captainmel]

I wear bolo ties all the time.

Pleated front pants are a line I don't cross.

Did he get a job?

[starrieskies]

I should clarify, it was not necessarily the bolo tie by itself, it was the entire outfit. It was just not right. I should have snuck a picture.

I'm not sure if he got a job. I wasn't in on the interview since it was for the other company my bosses own.

[captainmel]

OK, I lied. I don't own a bolo tie.

Was he young? Maybe he raided his dads closet for interview clothes.

[starrieskies]

nope, if I had to guess I'd say mid 40's. Not really old, but old enough to know how to dress appropriately for an interview.
