I wore the same brown suit to 3 funerals this summer.

That means that while I wear it to functions like interviews, I also wear it to funerals, to weddings, and to christenings and first communions and anything else that has to do with wearing dress up clothes. In fact, a few years ago, I lost a considerable amount of weight and had to buy a new funeral suit as I called it and while I was at the store, a sale's clerk brought out a really nice somber suit and I said, "Well, it's nice for a funeral but I need it to double for weddings too." She looked at me like I was nuts, but hey, why own too many dresup clothes? One suit is enough for any one, right?zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1161143336102021322006-10-17T23:48:00.000-04:002006-10-17T23:48:00.000-04:00This made me chuckle...obviously your colleagues k...This made me chuckle...obviously your colleagues know you well. :-)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667140531327670081noreply@blogger.com
