TheOtherScott Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Good woot: I'm slim enough to pull off the (mostly) maintenance-free buzzcut I've wanted for the last couple of years without looking like a pylon.Bad woot: I'm slim enough that I need to buy basically a whole new wardrobe. It's something to celebrate, but at quite the cost.Yeah, I'm complaining about two pretty big appearance goals, but have you seen how much they charge for a shirt these days? Highway robbery.

Rhiarti Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Double wootage all across the sky!!! But, okay, sympathy how much they charge - it's why I learned to sew! Link to comment
Amazon Grimm Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Try comparing prices from a Biog & Tall Store to a typical discount store. New wardrobe is a woot.

I loooove Goodwill. (No Salvation Army stores close by here, or I'd shop there as well.)Also, WOOT!! Link to comment
Horsedog Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Dude, that's awesome! Congrats Also, for the new wardrobe, there's some outlets close enough to Hammer-town that could be worth the drive (out niagara way comes to mind first, but then there's the stuff heading into T.O. and also, if you're up for it, you could cross the border).'Course, I do epic once-per-year shops and drop loads of coin so I can maximize the time between shopping bouts , so I don't mind travelling a bit if it means I can get some sweet deals and finish in 1 session. What you do, and what you don't do, matters. Link to comment
TheOtherScott Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'll probably invest in some versatile dress shirts and a tailor for my suit (could probably hit two birds with one stone for that one and just go to one store), and stick with cheaper stuff for everything else. Plaid counts as business casual, right? PR's5k - 21:2910k - 47:26 43:2921.1 - 2:05:26 1:44:21 Link to comment

drayz Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I was going to say the in Seattle, my business casual attire includes tons of plaid. And we have good thrift stores. I was planning on taking some of my favorite shirts and getting them tailored to fit better. Good luck and congrats!
