Hey Cinco,

Just checking in. I'm keeping up with all of your posts.

Have you tried saying something about the Birks and the flannel? Or, have you ever seen something on TV or in a catalog and said, "That would look great on you."? Does she know you don't like it?

My H never says anything about what I wear, so I assume it's fine with him. Or is it... (dread... horror.... insecurity flaring...)

There are comfortable things at Victoria's Secret that are better than flannel. Would you ever surprise her with some clothes from there?

Hmmmm... Maybe that would be insulting to her... I think I need DQ's opinion here.

When my H wears something that I don't like, I just suggest an alternative. He usually agrees. Only when he doesn't own a better alternative does he get frustrated and angry that I said anything. Then again, this is woman to man, not man to woman.

I would love to get VS stuff from my H, but I'm HD. I dunno...

I'm going to come out of the closet. I have Birks that I purchased in a granoly hippy chic phase. They are amazing for the feet and they're great to wear when you have to stand a long time (like when I cook). But, I'm usually just barefoot in the house and I never wear them out.

Lucky
