Before we explain to him why its a bad idea, how about he explains why its a good idea.

ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree · 12/12/2008 13:13

you'll have to put a giant clock on a chain round her neck to really set the ensemble off. his brain must be addled!! mind you ds1 did have a superman tracksuit when he was 18mths and it was incredibly cute (hides in shame)

DeckHallsWithFIMBOughsofHolly · 12/12/2008 13:23

Tell him it's grounds for a D I V O R C E.

Nafftastic.

ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree · 12/12/2008 13:24

i like tracksuits!

but i'm also foreign and from a place where people generally dress like slobs.

DD1 had a pair of pink leather Adidas pram trainers that were soooo cute we saved them for DD2 and then kept them in their keepsake box.

ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree · 12/12/2008 13:26

expat we have those too, anther of dhs purchases

we also had the baby nikes as well

expatinscotland · 12/12/2008 13:28

ds has the baby nikes.

get her a little pink tracksuit.

aw.

it's CUTE.

ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree · 12/12/2008 13:31

i dont actually mind the velor sort of stripey tracksuits.

but i dont like the addidas etc ones

OP posts:
TackyChristmasLights · 12/12/2008 15:41

Like what sort of sport is she going to be doing? hmm

I don't need a tracksuit as not a member of a sporting club or olympic team

ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree · 12/12/2008 19:45

lol

I think that's grounds for a divorce as well. You will argue about bigger stuff than this. Next he will want 'a fountain on the front lawn'.

pgwithnumber3 · 12/12/2008 20:41

OMG Songbird, I am about to disown you.

A nice plain velour tracksuit from GAP isn't bad but an adidas one is well, the ultimate in bad taste.

slackrunner · 12/12/2008 20:42

Adidas tracksuits - naffola IMO. Get a cute one from Gap if you must

MrsMattie · 12/12/2008 20:45

I'd rather Adidas than the dreaded Gap! Or 'no label but so obviously over-priced Boden', especially the minging girls clothes.

TackyChristmasLights · 12/12/2008 20:50

dodgy dodgy ground - really can sports wear of any description be passed off as fashion?

ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree · 12/12/2008 22:01

pg please don't disown me
i've tried to tell him.
i'm gonna have to over rule him arn't i?

OP posts:
MrsSeanBean · 12/12/2008 22:06

Oh Mrs Mattie, surely not?! Boden pink and green spots are soo twee!

Songbird in Pear Tree - If DH likes adidas tracksuits, I think he's a lost cause and there's not much that can be said or done to dissuade him.

Does he also like white sox and grey leatherette slip ons?

pgwithnumber3 · 12/12/2008 22:08

DH wouldn't even mention clothes, I find it strange when someone's DH does! Nothing wrong with it, just not used to it.

You are going to have to do more than overrule him.

ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree · 12/12/2008 22:09

mrssb, he said whats grey leatherette slip ons

hes being a dying swan today

ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree · 12/12/2008 22:10
