"Pants" are what we call trousers in America, so stop snickering. I bought this lovely set last weekend at Thrift World for a few dollars (like three and some change). I wasn't sure it would fit (I'm still not sure it does) but I knew the glass buttons would be worth at least that much, so I bought it. Taking the suit out for a spin around Omaha today, I was glad I did. Oh the evil eye people will give you when you wear something like this! You'd think wandering the public library, and then Big Lots would be two places you could comfortably go looking like a freak, but it was not so. "How dare you have fun?!" seems to be the subtext. Well fun I DID have, and by the time we got to the Goodwill I was feeling great. No one gave me the stink-eye at Goodwill because come on...Goodwill! It also turns out, the beige wall outside the store is a great location for snaps. That seems appropriate, given most of my clothes come from there.
