For all of you shopping needs. Complete with handwavey check-out.
She'd be happy to put aside the college information trashy novel she's reading.
Aziraphale was away on some super secret angelic type mission or other so everyone knows that that means right?
It was time for Wilson to restock his horrible tie collection!
Just in time for Fall even.
Dressed down in jeans and a green polo, Wilson headed into the Pixie Dust, waving to Isabel when he spotted her.
"Hey, Isabel."

Dressed down in jeans and a green polo, Wilson headed into the Pixie Dust, waving to Isabel when he spotted her.
"Hey, Isabel."
"Hi Dr. Wilson," she smiled, putting aside her book. "What can I do for you today?"
Hands tucked into the pocket's of his jeans, he peered around the shop and then back to Isabel.
"Ties, I'm looking for ties."
"Ties, I'm looking for ties."
"I think we've got that covered," Isabel replied, heading over to where the men's clothing was. "Any particular type you're interested in? Solids? Stripes? Jerry Garcia?"
"Oh, I was thinking somet horrifically ugly in maybe a argyle (http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/family_life/celebrations/special_days_holidays_and_festivals/285890_old_ugly_ties.php?id=285890) or maybe a tartan argyle?"
What was sort of frightening is he was sincere. Ties were and always had been a major blind spot with Wilson.
[ooc: I apologize now for that link but the man is notorious for his really bad ties. ;)]

"An argyle tie?" Yes, that would be Isabel staring at him in horror. "I'm sorry, Dr. Wilson. But if anything like that came in here, I'm pretty sure Tinker Bell burned it on sight."
"Drat," Wilson said, deflating a little. He was certain that a nice argyle tie would be just the thing to go with his new brown suit.
"Well, you mentioned stripes? Maybe something with maroon, powderblue and peach tones?"
"Well, you mentioned stripes? Maybe something with maroon, powderblue and peach tones?"
He had to be colorblind. It was the only logical explanation. This would require some diplomacy.
"Dr. Wilson? You know how you're my teacher and when we're in the classroom, I trust that you know what you're doing?" Isabel asked slowly.
"Dr. Wilson? You know how you're my teacher and when we're in the classroom, I trust that you know what you're doing?" Isabel asked slowly.
Colorblind or just tie blind, either way Aziraphale and Lucifer would both agree with Isabel's assessment.
Poking at a very handsome cream tie with a delicate pattern, Wilson turned and nodded, smiling.
"Yes, Isabel?"

"This is my classroom," she smiled. "Just trust me."
Wilson looked a bit wary but after a moment he broke and chuckled and then nodded.
"Okay, fair enough."
"Okay, fair enough."
"Perfect," Isabel grinned. "I won't let you down. Now before we get started, I have to ask, what color suit works with a tartan argyle? Because the mental images I'm getting are kind of scary."
"Well, I was initially thinking brown but you know, I guess a nice solid black would really make the colors pop."
Pop right off the tie and potentially blind people.

"I'm sorry. Argyle is against my religion. It's just not going to happen," she laughed, before holding up a tie. "How about something like this (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2953156/0~2376777~2374609~6007418?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6007418&P=1)? It's interesting but not too overwhelming."
"Even tartan argyle?" Wilson said thoughtfully as he reached towards the tie Isabel held up. "I think Raphale would have loved the tartan argyle."
On a fire pit maybe.
Turning towards a mirror, Wilson held the tie up against his throat and then grinned.
"Very nice ... a little subtle but, fairly versetile. I like it."

Isabel didn't know Mr. Phale all that well, but she was pretty sure he had better taste.
"Subtle is good. Or course if you do want stand out a little more, there are ways to do it without ending up on a page of What Not To Wear," she smiled. "Like this. The design of this tie? Was based of an image of the molecular structure of whiskey as seen under a microscope." (https://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/store/neckties/whiskey1/whiskey4.html)

Wilson laughed as he picked up the tie and studied it thoughtfully.
"Aziraphale would get a kick out of the background for that tie but ... I don't know, it seems a bit bright?"
"Aziraphale would get a kick out of the background for that tie but ... I don't know, it seems a bit bright?"
"It's bright but I think with the right suit it would look perfect. Like maybe this one (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2943198/0~2376777~2374609~2385368?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=2385368&P=1)?" Tinker Bell would be so proud of her. "It's simple but very sophisticated."
Well, the suit was on style with what he usually liked to wear, though it looked a bit more tailored than he was used to picking up.
"I do like the cut of that," he said outloud, running his fingers along the cuff. "Bet it would look cute with a dark mustard and blue stripe tie as well..."
Isabel was welcome to strangle him, really ... she was.

"Over my dead body," Isabel replied, clutching the suit protectively.
Blink and when he really wanted to, Wilson could give good puppy eyes.
"No, dark mustard and blue striped tie?" He said in a boyish voice, guessing this was the source of her protective reaction.

"No, I'm sorry. It's just not happening. I'd be fired," she told him. "You wouldn't want to see that happen would you?" Isabel could do puppy eyes rather well herself.
"How about that suit, with the whiskey tie for fun occasions, and something like this (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2911743/0~2376777~2374609~6007418?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6007418&P=1) for more somber occasions?"
