Flare for fashion

~ Diary of a Dublin housewife

I met me pal Lynda downtown.

  • Hey Lynn. You on your own?
  • Yeah, Tony’s gone shopping.
  • Seriously? Since when does Tony go shopping?
  • Since always.
  • No way. Aldi or Lidl?
  • Feck off Bernie, he doesn’t do the food shop.
  • You mean he goes clothes shopping? And you let him?
  • He’s a grown man, Bernie. He doesn’t need my permission.
  • And has he always bought his own clothes?
  • Yeah why?
  • That explains the flared jeans then.
  • He likes flares.
  • Obviously, he’s been wearing them since 1976.
  • He is a creature of habit.
  • He must be. He’s wearing that purple shirt a lot. Do you not think his taste is up his hole then?
  • Excuse me? I bought him that shirt for his birthday.
  • Oh sorry. No offence meant.
  • None taken, Bernie. I only bought it as a joke to go with the 70’s flares, but he loves it.
  • Could you not shrink it in the wash?
  • I did.
  • Brilliant.
  • Not really. He’s gone into town to buy another one.
  • Jesus wept. thank god Jimmy hates shopping.
  • Do you still buy all of his clothes?
  • Bloody right I do. Can you imagine what he’d come home with?
  • Even his underwear?
  • Especially his underwear. Sure I only got him out of  Y fronts in 2020.

Imagine Jimmy clothes shopping! 😆😆😆

  1. I just HAD to look up the Y. Even the guardian had an article in 2014.

    Why I hate Y-fronts
    This Christmas, Y-fronts are 80 years old – and it shows. Today, they symbolise discomfort and awkwardness, while boxer shorts are a celebration of freedom and sex appeal

    But….. Long leg boxers are the best. Like sheep dogs they let them wander here and there but always back to the corral without losing any.

  2. Heeheehee! Too funny.

    Mine likes to shop, and mostly has good taste, which means that’s one thing off my plate. Now he’s retired, he likes to wear those “Aloha” shirts, the Hawaiian theme button down shirts, and when he’s home that’s fine.
