I’m in the middle of cleaning out my wardrobe, getting rid of stuff that’s worn out or hasn’t been worn in over a year. In the process, I’ve noticed the following trends in my clothing:
There remains one “kiddie store” from which I’ve been buying clothes: Bluenotes, where I get one particular pair of jeans that Wendy likes on me (they’re dark blue with a tan undertone). They also have a couple of nerd-related t-shirts that I’ve picked up specifically for techie conferences — I’ve had my eye on on that reads “Nobody cares about your blog”.
I figured that I would eventually stop buying stuff there as a function of moving into my forties in November, but perhaps that’ll start sooner. I vote with my dollar, and the t-shirt pictured to the right has convinced me that it’s time to cast my vote elsewhere.

oh, joey - you gotta take advantage of the Boston connection to make a run out to Wrentham Factory Outlets. Well worth the trip.
If you find yourself missing the Bluenote jeans, you can have some custom-made.
There are two main options: mejeans.com will custom make a pair for you in a dizzying array of styles, fabrics, and finishes. A pair will run you about US $100. makeyourownjeans.com have a smaller range of choices, but offer a "Clone A Jean" service. You mail them a pair of jeans and they will custom make a pair that match. Justify this however you like.
