Shopping with Dan

[mrs_ladybird]

Okay, so we went out shopping last night to try and find Dan a new sports coat for the wedding we're going to this weekend. We wouldn't have had to go, but stupid sears screwed up.
There was some computer glitch in the system. The jacket was supposed to come in on Wednesday. The computer screwed up so that it showed that there wasn't supposed to be anything at all delivered, so nothing was. Their next shipment doesn't come until 2:00 on Saturday, conveniently, the same time as the wedding!
So here it was, 2 days before the wedding and Dan with nothing to wear. We go shopping, both in a bad mood convinced that we're not going to find anything and so not really wanting to look either. This is about the time we hit pay dirt at Tip Top Taylor's. We walked by and the store was just plastered with signs saying "End of Season Blowout Sale" excellent!
We looked at a few things, but wound up with a full suit, not just a jacket. And it was originally $300 on for *drumroll please* $50!
There's supposedly some fabric flaw on the front of the jacket...we have yet to find it!
It's an excellent suit. Pictures to follow. :)

Now I just need to find a shirt for me to go with my skirt...think I'll have the same kind of luck?

Fashion Fairy wants to know what colour the suit is.

The suit is kind of a greeny tan. Really nice. And he's got this nice kind of tanny beige shirt to go with it and a tie that's shiny and greenish with little polka dots, it's really nice. The dots are just a shade lighter than the tie, so they blend in nicely.

*heaves at the thought of polka dots, but calms after hearing they 'blend'*

I know...if you had told me that too, I would have completely refused, but this is really nice. Elegant almost. They're really tiny dots spaced far apart so they're not overwhelming and they're really nice.

So not like a white tie with big puce coloured polka dots? THAT is the height of fashion.

Now THAT would be cool!
Put it with a mullet and you've got a guy I..er...wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole?

Speaking of Mullets, I almost forgot.
There was a guy over at our house last night giving us an estimate for converting our wood fireplace into a gas one. He was the coolest...he had a mullet...in a ponytail.
He was so sexy I just had to hold myself back from jumping his bones!
