Gareth is wearing his $7.50 Emanuel Ungaro suit navy pinstripe suit and a $4.00 blue pinpoint Brooks Brothers shirt from the Salvation Army Store and a $45 Sid Mashburn silk bowtie. He was excited about how well his ensemble pulled together. I also spent $15 on hemming the suit's pants. At the end of the day, I spent about $72. That works for me.
Had I paid retail, I'd have spent at least $150 for a suit (did you notice that it was originally $500?!) and $40 for a shirt.
The pep in Gareth's step? Priceless. Sorry, MasterCard.
Thanks for everyone's kind comments.
Gareth looks so handsome and polished. Great job on pulling that ensemble together on a budget!
ReplyDeleteWow, great job! Now that's bargain (power) shopping!
ReplyDeleteHe looks fantastic. Buying a dinner jacket for my son might almost make me overcome my FOTing. (Fear of Thrifting).

He does look dashing! But I wondered, why pay so much for a bowtie?
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a fabulous bow tie. I love it! Love the whole outfit! What a sweetie, no wonder you are so very proud of him!
