"How I blew £385"

Well, my sister is getting married and I have a big interview coming up. So, my mum suggested that we go shopping for a suit for me (now that I have finished my growth spurt). She said it would be fun, we could shop for my suit and the bridesmaid dresses at the same time, so that they could get a guy’s opinion on them.

Well I know nothing about suit shopping; I got a mix and match because I’m an awkward shape apparently, (40 regular jacket and 32 regular trousers). So the suit; charcoal grey Austin Reads finest range, cost £300, £55 for a shirt and £30 for a tie. I do looking pretty dashing. This took a total of about 20 mins for me to find.

We then spent another 4 hours traipsing round a very busy town looking for the dresses, oh what a fun day.

me too, unfortunately.

At least my school jacket isn't GREEN (like St Benedicts) *snigger* or red *snigger*.

Just plain Black and no logo or anything :-D

Buy a pack of cards or get a luxury hotel room then.

I have to wear a suit to school everyday. This means I also have a selection of ties (silk, of course) and shirts. Wish I got to wear anything I wanted like normal schools, but hey, I look sharp ;)

i don't have a suite

Yeah, my mum made me get a suit for my cousin's wedding, and any upcoming job interviews. After looking around for ages, my brother and I both spotted a suit we liked, in the ever cheap NEXT. Mine's grey, and I think it was a dark blue shirt with a lighter blue tie, can't remember. But I picked up a white tie while I was there, which can go with my many black shirts (makes me look like a jazz man... yeah)

Only cost £150 or something for the suit, about £30 for the shirt and about £40 for the two ties. Not bad. Not that I look good in it or anything, but it's better than nothing. Two of my mates also have suits, we've been meaning to do a suit day, where we go into town and try to look cool.

I needed a tie for an interview

I stole one my dads and just changed into school uniform switching tie

Meh

£30 for a tie? Ack! Never knew..

oh, I would hate that!

I would like a suit.

*looks razor sharp*

Sounds riveting.
