I love the personal shopping peninsula of buffista island.

Me, too!

I had chicken cacciatore for dinner with spaghetti and zucchini, and chocolate pudding pie for dessert. Courtesy of Cafe Mom, of course.

This pizza is so fucking expensive compared to Papa John's. It better be good. It's local chain.

Sorry, Sophia - I am skippy mcskipperson.

Hey, I'm actually on-topic! Our company holiday party is on Friday, and the dress code is "Black and White." Does that mean I have to wear a suit? I used to have a hand-me-down suit, but it's too small now. Men's Wearhouse is having a sale, and I think I might get a suit (or two), but I have no idea what I should be looking for.

yes you need a suit

You do need a suit, but I'd ask around on the actual party dress code. I don't think colors necessarily indicate level.

Yeah, for black and white you could do black pants, a white dress shirt, and a black tie. But you need a suit anyway, something fairly neutral, and good for a lot of occasions if you'll only have the one for a while.

Oh, joy, the Westboro Baptist Church has decided they need to be a presence in Arizona at the funerals of the folks who were killed.

Yeah, for black and white you could do black pants, a white dress shirt, and a black tie.

That's what I was hoping for. I found a pretty nice tie.

Yeah, I pulled out the old suit I have, and it actually does vaguely fit, but it's not really a good suit. I do need to get a real suit for myself. The Internet seems to say my first suit should be navy or dark blue, but if I need a black suit for Friday, well. But Men's Wearhouse has a sale where if you buy one suit, you get the second for $100, so I might take advantage of that. I don't know what I would do with two suits, though.

If you get a black suit, you need another one much lighter, maybe a gray pinstripe. Even a taupe.
