We just did the same thing last month in Old Navy. He'll be 14 the end of this month and is really tall so we had to make the men's sizes switch, too. Thankfully he's skinny so I knew he'd need the smallest jeans size. <br /><br />He is so picky about his tennis shoes and jackets.

No collars, no buttons, no stripes, he also has a "horozontal closet" and is still wearing shorts and a hoodie here in the midwest where the weather hasn't gotten above 50 for a couple of weeks.

He wasn't quite as picky, but he only wanted jeans, plain tees, and flannel shirts to wear over the tees. But, if the flannel was a little too bright or the plaid was too big, forget about it! He was easy to shop with, though, and didn't mind buying the clothes at the cheap store, and only wanted like one weeks worth of clothes Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653903831722510380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-24559022227158720602009-10-14T13:35:02.677-04:002009-10-14T13:35:02.677-04:00JcPenney has London Fog coats on sale for 20 bucks...JcPenney has London Fog coats on sale for 20 bucks!<br />CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-85709076090044232912009-10-14T13:17:17.755-04:002009-10-14T13:17:17.755-04:00Whew, I'm lucky then, that my 10 year old midd...Whew, I'm lucky then, that my 10 year old middle schooler could care less what I buy for him!
