Transformation Gratification Moment Of The Day
Went and got some new clothes for a promising job interview tomorrow, as my previous interview clothes just don’t fit quite right anymore. Up until now, even as I was losing weight, every time I’d get a new suit or blazer, there would have to be reasonably extensive alterations around the midsection to get let it out in spots, close or open the vents in places and get the drape just right.
Picked the new blazer and slacks from tailoring today, and as I was trying it on and doing the final check of the fit in the three angle mirror, I saw a fellow shopper staring at my back. When I looked at him, he looked up and said, “Oh, sorry, I was just looking at the fit. I just had to send my suit back in, they didn’t tailor it right the first time. Looks like they got yours absolutely perfect, though.”
I thanked him, but didn’t have the heart to tell him that the only thing I’d had done was take the sleeves in an inch and finish the ends of the pant legs. The rest evidently fit me like a model straight off the peg.
