... and hoodies too

Oh lordy, hoodies appeared here too...along with hooded zip-tops and orangey brown cords...funnily enough, the kind of gear he wore when we met in our early 20's. 

[Trustandlove]

yes, hooded zip-tops - with teenage brand logos, for good measure!

Lycra and 3 expensive bikes here as well.    The latter are listed as assets in his financial disclosure alongside a mini cooper, which replaced the family saloon a few months after he left.      The xH of a friend of mine also traded in the family car for a mini cooper.   Both men are 6'3 and look ridiculous behind the steering wheel.   

Now when I see middle aged men cycling furiously clad in lycra or squeezed into small cars I automatically think 'there goes another MLCer'.

No hoodies here but my young adults have all complained about our MLCers choice of casual footwear which are black with thick crepe soles.   One told him to get rid of the 'pervert' shoes.   I believe OW may have chosen them.    And I spied some strange looking work shirts hanging in the back of previously mentioned mini cooper - black & white stripes, which he would never have worn a few years ago.

My turn. White $300 Oakly sunglasses. White sports sandals. O'Neil tshirts. Brand named jeans that cost well over $200.
My H always just wore jeans and his company tshirts. When we went out, he'd wear a plaid shirt. He always dressed his age until he moved out. Now he looks like a fool. Sports gear.....good grief, my H's response to my suggestion we go for a stroll in the evening was "Walk? Why would I want to go for a walk? I've walked all day!" (Note: walking all day was from his truck to the job site, if that!)

   These guys are so funny 
I was reading along CS, thinking - 'oh, CS's H must be a short man', but no - 6'3   

Another local MLC vehicle is the vespa.  My H bought one not long before BD, and went on a huge road trip about 18months ago, to visit his mother that he previously despised.  Hmmm.

Clothing of choice these days - skinny jeans with turned up cuffs.  Great look when you're 50

I'll play too. Mine bought a new road bike, a new car, a motor cycle, and new clothes/gear for all of that. That's all I know about since he's mostly been a vanisher, but I saw all that the few times we crossed paths before he moved out of state. No telling what else he bought. The car is the identical car of OW, but in the color that we always bought cars (hers is a different color). I realize now that he bought the car after a trip with her in her car, with MY dog along

Before h bought the new jeep he bought and old one and tried to completly remodel it.  We had boxes coming to the house for weeks...I think he got half way through it and bought a new one.  He used to remodel cars when he was a teen but old man can't do it anymore.

My h is a huge hoodie guy with logos all over it and logo shirts with brand name jeans.  His OW is covered in tattoos, so I assume he has one too.  When this infatuation dies he will have a nice reminder, lol.

Kikki: skinny jeans with a rolled up cuff at 50?! Omg that made me laugh. Too bad we can't share pictures on here! Hahaha!

[Thirsty Duck]

Let's all send the attached link for our MLCers. They'll all be out buying running shoes and the latest in running attire tomorrow morning, then in a week, in the physiotherapists office for joint and muscle injuries. If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny...
