My Goodwill Find!!!!

I really hate shopping anywhere but today had to go to GW so my son could get himself some interview pants (on my dime cause he doesn't have any dimes right now) and when I walked into the store I saw on a mannequin by the register a really nice Sag Harbor suit jacket and matching skirt in size 10. I asked if I could try on the jacket and it fit????!!!!! Its only a tiny bit snug but in a couple of weeks it won't be. I can button it and the buttons don't strain so I took the skirt off the thingie and then went looking around the store with the suit in tow. It was marked $10 for the two piece set. I didn't really find anything else except a decent belt for $1.50 but my son found a really great pair of dress pants for $3.75. Took them to the register and could not contain my excitement about the suit and the size it is so I told her I used to wear size 28. She said 'No way!' My son is shaking his head 'Yes way' and she said that is great yada yada yada. Then she rang the suit up at $7.50 instead of the $10.00 and I get everything really cheap! I am being really silly but shopping just never was this much fun before. Now I am ready if I actually get a real interview. What size pantyhose should I get? HMMMMM????

Hi Ann!

Congratulations on the the great find at GW!

What color and fabric is the suit jacket and skirt made of?  I want to picture it exactly as it is in my mind.  Better yet, do you have pics of you wearing it?

It's really hard finding clothes for my boyfriend.  He's 6'7" tall and about 275 lbs.  He has 44" waist,  36" inseam, 18" neck size, and 37/38" sleeve length.  He wears a size 16 in shoes; however, he can wear a size 15 in some dressy shoes.  We have to go to specialty big and tall men's stores to find clothes for him that fit like Casual Male XL or online at KingSizeDirect. 

I wish he could attend a Meetup event, but he works all day on Saturdays.

We have a GW here but everything smells like stale cigarette smoke.  I don't think the smell would come out after 30 washings.  I will deliver stuff there but never buy.  I can't even go in.   We do have a consignment shop that is a bit more but their stuff doesn' smell.  So, I go there.
