Friday Night Fashion

The Austin American-Statesman today combined two of my favorite subjects into one story: fashion and Friday Night Lights and to cap it all off - it took place in one of my favorite towns - Austin. Does it get any better than that? Reporter Jenny Miller landed the plumb assignment of trailing the wardrobe stylists for the Dillon Panthers’ squad, and then reported on their daily shopping trips scouring Austin boutiques. Do they need an intern? I can do that job. Wait, I do do that job. Today’s clothing of choice for the four coaches kids: 17-year-old (T-shirt caught at a pep rally three weeks ago - being 6-4 has its advantages); 15-year-old (required team traveling shirt and pair of khaki pants found at 11:17 p.m. last night when informed semi-single parent that he needed them for a game today and couldn’t wear his “church pants” and he has grown three inches); 13-year-old daughter (school t-shirt - the other five she tried on are still lying on her bedroom floor - they are almost identical, but they are soooo different, Mom); and 10-year-old son (booster club t-shirt bought last year at discount, close-out price of $2). Do I see a pattern here? A common theme? To my recollection, Julie hasn’t worn any Dillon Panther t-shirts and I think I’ve only seen Tami wear one to bed. Hello! Are you really playing a coaches’ wife? It doesn’t matter. If I looked as fab as Tami, I’d shop at by george as well. I wonder if the stylists read StyleShaker? Or if they have visited Girl Next Door? It’s a new season in our house, and that means a new wardrobe.
