100x more plausible than Riley, who I don't see buying her clothes or her wearing them*. I now pronounce it canon.
:) Of course it's canon.
Riley was so nervous about approaching Buffy he had to have Willow as a duenna of sorts; so I don't see him buying her clothes or even thinking to do so. If asked advice he'd be the guy to say "whatever, hon, you look great in anything."
On the subject of Riley though, I do find it odd that someone as handsome as he is is so - virginal. I don't mean literal virgin (I have no idea on that) and I guess it's supposed to contrast with Parker (and Angel) and reinforce the notion of Riley as the corn-fed Iowa boy, but I still wonder how a guy, particularly one as handsome as he is, can have gotten to that age and still be absolutely clueless about women and dating. Or maybe I'm stereotyping him myself based on looks.
