Cute, but you can't tell here!

Today Piano Boy borrowed a suit and tie from K (I tied the tie for him) because he's going to be a weatherman for science--he was very excited about it and made a big weather map--did a good job, too.  I drove him to school because he had the suit jacket in the Louis bag and the big map.  He looked SO CUTE I would have loved to take a picture, but I didn't even bother asking as he is very anti-picture at the moment.  So imagine the boy, tall and slender, with dark curly hair and braces, bright blue eyes, quite cute, carrying a huge back pack, a Louis wardrobe bag and a big weather map.  It is in the twenties, cold, windy and icy, and he's wearing no hat or coat and no undershirt under his pink Oxford.  I let him out across from school in the dark at 7:30 AM and he's shivering and wants to dash in to where it's warm, but the traffic is heavy enough that he has to stand in his shirtsleeves in the wind and wait (I thought the car who had pulled in behind us was going to hit him.)  I hope it goes well.  He was practicing various weird weather-man voices.  His own voice would probably work best.

I was doing well with the picture until I got to the pink oxford so had to look that up. A nice deep pink plain shirt - very cool and smart. Enjoyed the description Mary - a real picture might not have done it justice - of course I am not questioning your photographic skills. Probably I am praising your writing skills. Yes, I hope it goes well for him.

Yes wonderful clarity of image, all well in focus until I reached the "Oxford" now I'm afraid there is a more than a slight blurr please help or maybe Kate already did "a nice deep plain pink shirt" but why Oxford - I know when you explain I am going to feel silly for not knowing (apologies in advance)
