    I’m suddenly thankful my business casual attire can be picked up for like 5 bucks at goodwill.

    Hell, for my promotion to my first office job, my previous manager straight up bought me a bunch of cheap polos on his own dollar, basically saying “don’t embarrass me for suggesting you for the position”. Wore those for like a whole year or more before buying my own for cheap.

    A full suit? Fuck. Good luck thrifting one that fits well without tailoring, if you can even find matching jacket and pants, let alone several.

      I have never found pants that didn’t have to be hemmed no matter what size my waist is. I’ve lost a huge amount of weight- gone from obese to the average weight for my BMI and it’s still true. It’s infuriating. I’m not tiny either, I’m 5’9".
