Who is that Handsome Man?

I went shopping with Poppy aka Big Joe aka my dad today. Our task from Nana aka Linda aka my mom was to find a polo shirt to go with some new shorts he bought. They are headed on an East Coast Tour and she needed her man to look sharp.

We hit the big and tall man's store and I immediately honed in on a lovely chambray shirt. I made him try it on and he looked dashing.

When I inquired as to which shoes he would be taking, the answer was unacceptable. White New Balance sneakers and Birekenstocks. No good. So we headed to the mall in search of a boat shoe.

This was no easy task as the man has some wide feet. We hit the major department stores only to find a dearth of wides. At the last store, we found some Clarks that were more supportive than the Sperry Topsider but had the same look. Brilliant!



Now don't he look smart?

Wowzers! I wonder if Big Joe wants to rent himself out to look good and mingle at other people's events?! He'd have to shop for more outfits, however. It gets cold in Aspen and I think he'd be in high demand there.
