The power of a suit...

For anyone that really knows me, I am certainly not a suit kinda' gal. Never wanted one...was content with my kakhi capri living life. Suits were for the uptight and stuffy. But, working in an Lawyer's office, I have felt the pressure to go out and buy one. For what.....my office is in Otsego, not the most professional of cities in the world, but....I caved.



So, being the cheap penny pincher that I am, I thought it would benefit me to check out some higher end stores like....The Salvation Army!



After looking through literally racks upon racks of color coordinated clothes....mind you, they do not sort by size...just color. I happen upon a lone suit....end of the rack....put there by someone that obviously didn't want one... just as much as I didn't. It was the suit for me...black with pants, single breasted buttons. Hey...my size, too. Wool, very nice. Hardly a spot on it....must have been taken care of very well. My bet when new....$200. How much you ask....$20 bucks!!! I'll take it. I slap myself on the back, pay for my suit and go home.



Now, as I am wearing said suit today....I now know, why people in business wear suits. What a fabulous feeling of businessy business!! Other than scratchy wool...it's light and comfy, not very uncomfortable and......it's looks really good.



SO......I take it all back. Stuffiness is in the eye of the beholder!
