not just any blue though. preferably a nice light blue we called "bus driver blue"
on a recent visit we cleared out some of his things, and a selection of blue shirts came back with us, and were hung in J's wardrobe.
where they felt quite at home..................
like father, like son I suppose. it must be genetic.
I did once try to buy J a different colour. as you can see it wasn't a great success.....
Mr DC only wears blue, too, which is very boring when I get his old shirts to chop up for patchwork. Fortunately my BIL is a bit more adventurous with his shirts, and my sister doesn't sew!
ReplyDeleteAll men aspire to a wardrobe of matching shirts and trousers in a row. Or so I am told.
ReplyDeleteThey do seem to keep to the same colours don't they? I've given up trying to change mine.
ReplyDeleteG and I both own almost exclusively blue shirts. Of course it's entirely my fault as I buy all the shirts. But it does make it so easy to sort the wash and get dressed in the morning!

Oh, Tess - this was such a beautiful happy-sad post. Your affection for both lads shines through so brightly.

P.S. I seem to have mostly blue clothing, too. Unintentionally. What can it mean? Perhaps I should take a page from Little Lad's tie-dye book...
hub doesn't have to wear shirts for work so he only has a few checky ones
ReplyDelete99% of BigBeans shirts are that sort of blue. And I have to say that they look very good too. I do think that that sort of blue looks good on everyone. Especially with a nice tie and shiny shoes...
ReplyDeleteWhat colour next Missus? Ax
Ha! Once they find a look that 'works' for them, they seem to just stick to it and buy more of the same - least that's what mine does.
ReplyDeleteAh, this is sweet... My hubby is a blue mane too. Blue and gray! I tried introducing a shirt that had a bit of purple about, but that didn't go over well. I got him a rather fun, bright pistachio-green t-shirt one summer for his birthday, he wears it very seldom in favor of the blues and grays... I give up...LOL! Happy Days ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteMy boys are the same way, except their shirts are red.
