Hell has officially frozen over

If you are a very observant person of the blog, you will have notices that ALL (and I mean ALL) pictures of our Design Lead, Jim Weber, would have consisted of a blue oxford shirt and khaki pants. The reason why? Because in the 7 years that I have known him, I have never seen him wear anything different to work - OK, there was that one time he wore a sweater over the blue oxford, but it was really cold in the office.

Maybe it's a throw back to the days that he worked in Lafayette and had to wear a uniform, but it has been the one constant in the universe. Needless to say, we felt he was ready for a change, and after the success we've had with Joe and bathing, we thought we were ready for the ultimate challenge. It also didn't hurt that Lora and Jen said I couldn't do it.

So Andrea and I went off to our friendly corner clothing store, and pick him up a stunning new shirt and sweater/pull thing. And he was even guilted into putting it on at the party (Thanks Mama Cita) and wearing it to work. Needless to say, we were all stunned - but we think he also looks great too.

And yes, it's blue - but if you're dealing with someone who's worn the same thing for at least 25 years - you don't go for pink right away.
