Well, now I REALLY need to buy a suit for interviews and such. In the course of figuring out what I'm going to wear for my case study defense, I discovered that everything that used to fit me doesn't, and everything that does is worn out or stained or something like that. I can jury-rig the tired skirt elastic and fix the buttons coming off the shirt I want to wear on Monday, but I can't get the green ink out of the shirt (thankfully I can just keep my blazer buttoned), and my blazer is slightly off-black, so it doesn't work with anything truly black under it. Oh, and one of the shoulder pads in the blazer has shuffled itself out of place and turned into a random lump. I argued it back to more or less where it belongs, but I can't really fix it without taking the lining apart, and that's a bigger project than I want to deal with myself. And there are no tailors in Kent.

So, I need a suit. And I need it BEFORE I have income, in order to get a job, in order to get income. Harumpf.

If you don't find one before the next time you come to Boston, I'll take you to the Talbot's outlet, if you'd like. Careful shopping there could get you a whole interview outfit for father short money.

errr, rather short money

Considering the utter lack of anything resembling a clothing store around here, I think I'll take you up on that. I'd have to go to Cleveland to find anything, and the chances of my doing that before I come to Boston are None and Are you kidding?

[siercia]

Heh. Yeah, that was kind of what I figured. When are you coming back?

[dchenes.livejournal.com]

I'm coming apartment-hunting from the 24th to the 31st.

Fabu, that's before I leave for Japan. Perhaps you can pop down to Quincy on the T one evening, we can shop and grab some dinner? Maybe the 25th or 26th?

Ooh! Can I join you guys!

[siercia]

Hey, that would be fine with me!

Talbot's outlet?

[siercia]

Yeah, like 2 miles from my house. I know we discussed this (and I bought adorable cords this weekend for like, $15).

So, dinner and shopping sometime soon?

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

I'd like that!

I just got a suit from Marshalls for $60. All it needs done to it is to have the cuffs of the jacket shortened.

Shall we see if we can go bargain hunting downtown when you are here? Looks like I might have nothing but time on my hands.,
