In Which I Clothe the DGF

Here are today's shirt and tie.  Do not adjust your monitor--my neck really IS that white.

I first tied an excellent Windsor knot, but it looked odd with a button-down collar, because it's such a thick knot.  For button-down collars, I think it's best to go with just a casual four-in-hand knot (which is the easiest to tie, anyway).

Since my DGF had a job interview today, she let me drag her to Nordstrom Rack (a different NR from the one featured in a previous post) and dress her up yesterday.  Saying that my DGF is not exactly a fashionista is like saying that Fred Phelps is not exactly a fan of gay marriage.  She hates shopping, usually burns out after about 30 minutes, and doesn't want to try anything on.  (Oh--and in case this is causing a little head-scratching, I should clarify that my DGF and I are both butch, although she eschews such labels.)

I tried to talk her into a $50 purple shirt with wonderfully textured fabric, but she selected a Nordstrom brand white shirt with subtle blue and grey stripes--still really nice, and it looks great on her.  We also found some black pants for her lithe little 31-inch waist and a decent belt (she refused to get my favorite one because I told her that the buckle was at a "jaunty" angle; my DGF says that my use of words like "jaunty" and "delightful" make her feel like she's dating a 70-year-old man).

Bottom line: she looked damned good, and it made me want to dress her up some more, if she ever lets me.  Little does she know that I was taking mental notes about sizes and fits the whole time so that I can surreptitiously slip new, colorful shirts into her closet among her army of white button-down Oxfords (I kid you not--she has like six of the same shirt).

So how about you, dear readers?  Got any good tricks for dragging your own DGFs to the store, or are you usually the one being dragged?
