With that out of the way let's get onto today's topic: suit shopping! Friend, Fiance and I went suit shopping (for Fiance. For our wedding. That may be obvious but meh.) Friend is fairly knowledgeable about suits and I like seeping knowledge from people so I tagged along and skulked amongst the suits admiring.
We started off at the Bay. They are fun. We wandered in and began inspecting various suits. At one point we had a drive-by-salesing. This is where the salesperson asks us if we need help, Friend starts to explain what's up and salesperson says "Ok, I can help" and flees. It was actually pretty funny. We did not see hide nor hair of him for our rest of the time in that store.
Not finding anything there that did not fit Fiance weirdly we headed off to Holt Renfrew. Holt Renfrew also amuses me but for different reasons. Ever seen the prices on their jeans? Or their hand bags locked down to the counter? Any time I am in there I start laughing. I am a Value Village, occasionally other places when there is a sale, girl. Anyways, Holt Renfrew. Here had an actual saleperson. Which was nice. He introduced us to a couple of suit jackets but once again nothing really worked. They did have a number of things that were garishly orange. Or checkered. There seemed to be an interesting cross of hick and hipster. Mmmm. Yeah, no.
We next ended up at Henry Singer. First off, it is fancy. Dark wood, suits, couches. Fancy. I liked it.. I felt like I should have a smoking jacket and a glass of Scotch. Here we met Robbie. He was fun. Eager. Flamboyant. A drama minor. And really good at his job. He chatted with us about what we were looking for, the occasion, eyed up Fiance and boom! Began producing suits that fit. And that looked AMAZING.
Friend made the mistake of telling me that he thought Robbie was cute and so I began making sure to step aside and allow the two of them to flirt. It was super cute as Friend got all red and I got to tease him afterwards. But back to the suits!
One was found that was a lovely charcoal, somehow made Fiance looked taller and quite frankly, I was wondering if I could jump him in the dressing room. I figured that would be on the inappropriate so I just took to staring at him creepily and making "num num" sounds.
I am very excited to see what Fiance will look like on our wedding day. Also, I want a suit that is that fabulous. Clearly I need the ability to swap between genders physically so that I fit a men's suit and go get fitted. And look equally handsome. Suit shopping was so much better than dress shopping.
