Sunday Best

My little man loves to look spiffy for church on Sunday.  He’s been asking for  “shiny church shoes” for months now.  But penny loafers are expensive and I hadn’t been able to find any at the consignment shop. 

Until this  week when I went on a consignment store quest hoping to find some cool looking picture frames for a fun idea I had for my dining room.  No luck with the picture frames but we did score a cooler and a pair of “shiny church shoes” in size 11.5.  I hear that’s the way it goes with thrift store shopping.  You can’t go with a specific mission in mind, but with your eyes open to anything you could possibly want, and oh, you can’t get upset that the thing you really want isn’t there when you want in.  Ah, the fun of thrift store shopping, but I digress. 

We stumbled across the loafers and my son was elated.  He was so excited to wear them to church with his suit coat and matching dark pants.  He wanted a tie as well, but sadly he doesn’t own one in his size.  He settled for the button down with the coat, dark pants and shiny shoes.   

He looked rather handsome and dapper if you asked me.   I think it is so cute that he likes to get so dressed up like this.  I am not sure where he gets it from exactly as his dad doesn’t get this dressed up on Sunday.  This is completely his own thing.  Scott will typically wear a button shirt or polo shirt with khaki’s.  But, my son has always been an individual.  I like his look and hope he doesn’t grow out of this phase anytime soon.
