Failure

Took my younger brother into town this morning to collect his phone (which he had broken) and attempted to steer him into Topman rather than the usual Gap Kids to update his wardrobe a tad. After pointing out a pair of Paul Smith inspired trousers and a classic short sleeved checked shirt, both "not his style" and therefore shunned, he strolled over to the adventurous collection of novelty boxer shorts and socks which he seems to favour. I despair. I really do. Despite this failure, I pushed him into Topshop where he expertly selected me a pair of really nice sunglasses! That boy is full of surprises- maybe womenswear is his major- who am I to judge! But hopefully next time I will enlighten him to the amazing possibilities of not only wearing funky underwear but good clothes as well! Then again, I will try not to aim too high! But the sunglasses have a lovely vintage feel to them and I am already looking forward to wearing them on my holiday to the Maldives that I am embarking on in 3 days time! I have opted to ignore the weather forecast of thunderstorms and remain hopeful for glorious sunshine.
