New Suit

The missus and I are having our wedding blessed by the church (the Catholic Seal of Approval for vegas weddings) So I had to go buy a suit. My last one didn't fit anymore, so I gave it to Goodwill when we moved. Since I've been lucky to not have to go to a funeral, and most weddings a tie/shirt/slacks is acceptable, I've never needed one. Well Getting a blessing in the church deemed it important so off we went.
Turns out this was the best time to do it, as JCPenney was having a really good sale on suits. Like, buy the jacket, and pants were a dollar for some brands, or suit/pants for 150. Turns out I bought my suit, pants & shirt for 166. Then comes the tie.

I want a purple tie to match the dress Sara wants to wear, and I wanted it in a soid color, not stripey or dotted etc. Jauque Penney did not have one so off the mall we searched.

Went into Dillards and Eureka! we found a solid purple... little dark but still. Bought it.... for 63! Really took my "Great sale" high away for buying such an expensive Tie. But all was not lost... we had to go to Kohls to get some clothes for Nora (got a $10 coupon in the mail, so 4 outfits for 2 bucks.. Yay) and nothing there. There IS a Men's Warehouse closeby so we go in. Luck upon Luck there's a lavender tie (turns out it's closer to a match to Sara's dress) thats' 20 dollars cheaper! So we buy that and return the 63 dollar tie.

so I bought what I believe was a 400 suit set for around 200. I never thought saving that type of money would make me feel proud. and look so smart.
