Dh loves plaid shirts. Is buying them on e-bay for next to nothing for new shirts!! Has bought at least 20 of them the past two months and never pays more than 6.00 including shipping. He addicted to the auction site.

So now I figured out if I need to look for colors that work together...I'll just go to his closet! Coordinating has already been done for me.

Yeah, go ahead and snitch from his closet. It'll just give him an excuse to do more ebay shopping. =D
