I attended a wedding this weekend, out of town. I thought I had prepared properly by trying on my clothes before leaving for the weekend, but I must have grabbed the wrong slacks at the last minute. Needless to say, I created an emergency for myself the day of the wedding.
Well, this was as good a time as any to get fitted for some new clothes to fit my current body shape. I knew from past experience that Men’s Wearhouse has nice clothes and could alter them in a hurry, but I’d leave feeling financially raped.
That’s pretty much how it worked out. It was an evening wedding; had it been a morning wedding, we never would have made it on time thanks to the expansion around my waist area and my poor planning and double-checking. So, how much did I spend in clothing? Read my monthly reports at the beginning of December to find out.
On the positive side, I did walk away with a nice suit that will work with clothes I already own (and that fit).
The next step is to fix my waistline. You can always alter clothes that are too big, but there’s nothing a tailor can do about pants that are too tight.
