Time for the Flannel Shirts

The rain is still coming down today. A light rain. And only in the 50s today. Next week we may see our first frost. Works for me. Gives me another chance to get Dustin's old flannel shirts out to wear. I kept many of his clothes. And so happy I did. The shirt in the photo is a favorite to wear over my long sleeved t-shirts. Little things making me happy again. Makes me smile to remember the good times. Photo is mine.

I have just been thinking that it will be time for the flannel shirts and sheets before too long. I bet Dustin's shirts are a comfort.

Glad you have such lovely memories with Dustin RIP There is nothing quite as comforting as flannel and it is clear wearing his clothes brings you just that. I have no flannel myself, but my son does.

I perfectly understand how the shirt makes you happy. I do the same with my late sister's pj's.

It's good that you kept those things that make you feel close to him - and keep you warm too!

It is good that you still have those items. It can be difficult to decide what to keep or let go in the aftermath of loss.

So the winter is well setting in at your place! A few days after the last Sunday's rains, we had a bit cool weather but now the mercury seems to have risen a bit. Still need to wear a light woolen in very early morning. The proper winter is still some 9 to 10 days away.

Oh I love flannel shirts on guys. I actually bought a red plaid flannel button down shirt today for our son from Tommy Hillfiger. I was going to buy him 2, one in each plaid, but I wasn't sure of the fabric. My hubby told me that our son would love it, and he liked it too, so I'll be going back to get them each one. Stay warm and cozy and happy in Dustin's flannel.

I can see why you enjoy wearing flannel. I don't have any flannel shirts though. I do layering because when we clean windows in the winter most people have their heat to high that I need to remove some layers while working. Maybe one day I'll h get some flannel shirts but I've not considered it before.

@CarolDM I could do that too if I found a flannel shirt I liked.

I was never into flannel shirts even when they were so popular in the 90s.
