Hot dang! Check this out:
One hundred percent silk. Two shades of taupe, trimmed with brown and slate-black. Chico’s. $12.
And remember this?
Purchased to use as a swimming top in the absence of the devil-pod tree, whose messy fronds blocked passers-by’s view of the pool. Already used for loafing around the house and doing yardwork. Taupe. Looks like it was made to go with the silk top. One of two shirts out of a package from Costco. $10.
Not pictured: A pair of brown slacks, absolutely made to go with the silk top. Chico’s. $12.
Well, actually, the Chico’s items didn’t come from Chico’s. They came from a second-hand store, the redoutable My Sister’s Closet.
OooooMG! Can you BELIEVE i found this? For $24? (Plus about five bucks for the T-shirt…) (Plus tax.)
Taken together, it’s the perfect look for the upcoming job interview. It fits the corporate culture over there to a…heh…to a T.
Is this your cc interview? Good luck.
@ frugalscholar: Yeah. Thanks. Doesn’t seem very likely they’re going to hire someone who’s longer than the tooth than Methuselah’s Wife, but what the heck. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Miracles happen: who would ever think I’d find a pair of Chico’s slacks that fit?
Looks very snazzy!! Best of luck.
