Not again.

Well, I need to go pants shopping. One pair of jeans isn't going to cut it as it starts to get colder. This time around, though, I don't think I can afford such expensive clothing. So. For those in the area, do you have any particular recommendations for thrift stores with a reasonable pants selection? Or do you have any desire to go thrift-store shopping? I'd go to Buffalo Exchange, but the last time I went there I made some decisions I promptly regretted. Their prices are just slightly above what I'd like to pay.

Keep in mind that I REALLY hate pants shopping. I can probably get into it once I've gotten somewhere, but I always find it frustrating to try and find clothes that fit. Stupid pants.

i'll go pants shopping with you if we can match up schedules... i have to try and find some more 'presentable' clothes for the second job. god, i felt like a grungey little street urchin when i realized i only had one shirt that applies to their dress code.

Hah, that's funny! That's part of the fun of being an academic--I can dress however I want, at least until I have to get hired somewhere...

I can imagine that BR would have a pretty strict dress code since they're a fashion/clothing retailer--it's hard to promote that image unless one is dressed accordingly.

Hrm, coordinating shopping schedules could get tricky. Let me know what days/times would work for you--my best days are Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays after 5 or else on weekends, except this weekend is officially Not Good. Maybe the following Saturday, though...

well, since I work in stock it's not too bad, but I can't wear jeans or tank tops and they prefer t-shirts that don't have slogans/logos on them. and no tennis shoes. no tennis shoes!!!?!!111923l. sigh.

i can dress any way i want at the studio... my boss walks around with his shoes off half the time.

it's a weird contrast.

i'm free this thursday evening if you're game... i usually just go to Buffalo, but I'm interested in checking out other thrift stores too if you get any good recommendations.

Thursday evening should work. Would you want to meet up early-ish (5?) or later (7?). Thoughts? I haven't gotten any other suggestions or brilliant ideas on places to go, so hopefully Buffalo will work. I think part of my problem is if I go by myself I don't have the patience to look through stuff.

That's a hilarious contrast in dress codes. I love it!

later would be better. I have a couple things to try and sell at buffalo, and they kind of necessitate a car (two prom dresses and a bunch of shoes!)... so i can just meet you at your place at 6:30...does that work?

That would be perfect! See you then!

Just steal pants from other people, that way you'll know whether the pants look good.
