Good woot, bad woot

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.

Double wootage all across the sky!!! But, okay, sympathy how much they charge - it's why I learned to sew!

Try comparing prices from a Biog & Tall Store to a typical discount store. New wardrobe is a woot.

Total woot!

Try shopping at thrift stores - Salvation Army, Goodwill...or even some of the discount stores like Marshall's and TJ Maxx.

Huge Woot!! (I feel your pain in the wardrobe department, I'm in a similar boat)

[Kewilson]

Very woot! I'm having a similar issue clothing wise. Frankly it's a problem I can live with.

Heh, I did this same post two weeks ago.

She beat me to it. I loooove Goodwill. (No Salvation Army stores close by here, or I'd shop there as well.)

Also, WOOT!!

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.

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?

BAHAHAHA! Only in Canada?

The pacific northwest, too, I'd imagine. But Adam Scott makes it look pretty damn good:

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!
