DH is gonna kill me...

*gasp* I spent money on clothes for him... I am such a bad wife

I will admit that I did spend almost $500 on him but he almost never buys new clothes. Also, in addition to teaching FT I also teach college PT (2 online classes) so if he makes a fuss I'm planning to justify the purchase by the fact that the extra monthly stipend I receive for teaching PT more than covers this purchase (also the fact that most of his clothes are very worn/faded). He is a big guy so I have to shop at Casual Male XL for his clothes and naturally they cost more but they were having a great sale (buy 1 get one free polos, button-down SS shirts 1/3, $10 off jeans) so I think that merits a larger than normal purchase. For $500 I got him 4 t-shirts, 8 polo shirts, 3 dress shirts and 2 pairs of blue jeans. I didn't do that badly, did I?

Also, one of his shirts is a Star Wars shirt with Darth Vader on it that says "Who's your daddy?", I couldn't help myself... I'm a sci-fi nerd and so is he. I was this close to getting an Atari shirt for him but decided instead on Ghostbusters (he loves the movies, mainly the first one).

ETA: This all stems from the fact that he hates, HATES, to spend money on clothes. He would be wearing clothes with holes in them if I didn't shop for him. I'm debating on putting just a few things in his closet over the course of the next few months but am not sure b/c that seems dishonest although I didn't make any attempt to hide the purchase through our checking account.

Lol the title reminded me of Clone Wars. " My master is gonna kill me!"

DH never gets new clothes. I always have to buy them. The majority of his shirts are star wars shirts because he can wear jeans and tees to work. I bought him mostly clothes for Christmas. He's getting a Vader hoodie. I wanted the wookie one but he can't wear something that dorky in public.

lol, DS has 4 SW shirts and one has a pic of Chewbacca on the front and says "Wild Child" on the back. I love it!

I think Christmas will bring his total to 20ish. The wookie sweater was furry with the ammo belt across the chest

Omg, I want that, almost as much as I want a soft kitty hoodie.

I would totally wear it sometimes but I won't even spend 60 on a pair of jeans so I couldn't do it. Especiallly after getting the Vader hoodie with the Vader hood.

Spill, where are you getting these hoodies, Think Geek? And you need to get a pair of jeans over $60, just once. You won't be sorry. Oh, just cheat and get them off eBay, mine are normally $80+, but I usually only pay around $30 or less.

I found them at a murdawgs store in the mall. I saw them at a comic book store too for 75. The have to be online somewhere but I haven't looked.

My weight has changed so much in the last 4 years that I don't know what size of jeans I will end up in. I bought 3 sweet pairs off a friend when she was selling a bunch of clothes and then dropped a few pounds before getting pregnant so I'm still wearing those.

Clothes shopping is the worst. My wife buys all my clothes.

She hates what I pick out anyway.

Lol. I bought DH the same Star Wars tshirt. He loves it.

It's on amazon.

DS's cat had a stroke back in February and died last week. DS has Aspergers; I am Mary Cooper. Cat care has been a tag team sport- last month I came home to find DS singing soft kitty to his cat while giving him a bath after having an accident.

DS needs this-

Your H sounds just like mine.  I can't remember the last time he went out to buy clothes if he didn't have a gift card, etc.

DH is down to 2 pairs of jeans and our discount store that carried them is gone now. (Remember FUBU? 1996?) They were only 25 bucks and they had the perfect sized pockets. I have to take him pants shopping now and he will actually have to try them on. It's going to be rough.

Okay, good to know I'm not alone in dressing my hubby. Why won't men buy themselves clothes?
