The business suit

When I was in high school, I found a business suit, much like the one pictured here, on a clearance rack at ZCMI. It was such a good deal, I had to get it. I figured I'd need a business suit one day. Well, that day has finally arrived. However, 5 years and two pregnancies later, that business suit doesn't quite fit how it should. It's a little depressing. I've always wanted to wear that business suit, and now that I have the opportunity, I've got too much post pregnancy flab to be able to button it up.

The reason I need the suit is because I have a formal presentation to give tomorrow. And I'm actually going to put forth some effort to try and make myself look pretty. I even went to wal-mart and bought some tights and some make-up. Hopefully I can make something work out. I'd like to look professional and put-together for at least one day, instead of my regular, no-effort sloppy mom look. Better get to bed.

I remember the suit well... I'm sure you'll come up with something that will work and your presentation will be grand. You are amazing!

Too bad Chloe's Jackie O costume doesn't fit, that would be perfect.

What a cute dress suit! It is frustrating to buy something ahead of time and it either goes out of style or doesn't fit when the time actually comes to wear it.
