Flannel... it's trendy.

If you don't know Hubby, the most treasured items in his wardrobe are flannel shirts. So he's been in heaven this fashion season, as flannel shirts have been popping up on shopping racks in every major store. And not a shopping excursion goes by where he doesn't stop to remind me that he's the trend setter behind all this 'new' fashion sense that is hitting stores - since he's been wearing flannel for years.

So this past Friday night, it came to no surprise to me when I left Hubby alone in the mall for an hour while I got a haircut, and he returned with a flannel shirt tucked into a shopping bag from one of his favorite stores. And in good Hubby fashion, he had used a coupon, along with a sale and saved $20 off the shirt, so he's stylish and frugal - my kind of man!

We then walked through the mall and with every clothing store we passed, it seemed to me that we were surrounded by shirts with this fabric that has made it's way into my life.

But the flannel fun didn't stop there. We then visited Babies R Us, where we perused the clearance racks and what did Hubby find? You guessed it... a flannel-styled jacket for our little BB. Oh, how I love my man and his love for flannel. He couldn't resist such a great deal, especially knowing that his son would continue the legacy of flannel that has been passed down from generation to generation, starting with Hubby's grandpa.

So for all of you who question whether or not you should own a flannel shirt, know that it's not just Hubby and little BB that will be sporting this fashion-forward fabric, but everyone around us - since you can't walk into any clothing store without seeing the shirts that my Hubby brought back into style.
