New Suit: Found

After some extensive staring at Christopher's (the FI) lower half in the suit pants from Express, it was determined that his muscular lower half needed something a bit more comfortable for the wedding day. So, back went the suit to Express Men (thanks anyway, it was fun while it lasted), and off we went to the Men's Wearhouse. Figuring we'd find nothing (I was in a cranky mood), I didn't even think to bring the sandals the FI will be wearing on the day of. Low and behold, we found a fabulous Calvin Klein linen suit, fully customizable to Christopher's body, and they actually had it in CREAM (not white!). We also found a wonderful lightweight cream shirt that he'll wear under the suit coat, and made some important decisions (i.e., no tie will be worn, and a tangerine pocket scarf is in order for that all-important touch-of-color). We pick up the suit from the tailor this coming weekend, and are ecstatic that the Men's Wearhouse came through (the suits were on a BOGO, so we actually purchased 2 suits, a dark grey and then the cream linen, for the price of one!).
Here is a teaser pic :o)

Progress!

I am so happy to write this post. It seems we may have found a suit for the FI to wear to his own wedding - hooray! We originally decided to visit Banana Republic because of past success in purchasing great-fitting, good quality suit wear there. However, this season, BR decided to implement the 'noticeable stitch' on the lapels of all its suit jacket (yack). We randomly decided to hop into Express MEN and wouldn't you know, we found this gorgeous white/ivory suit jacket and matching pants there. Ordered his size via the internet, and voila - we love it! I can envision an aqua blue handkerchief inserted into the chest pocket of the jacket...and a simple white collared shirt underneath it, with just 2 buttons un-done. (The FI still maybe wants to wear a tie though, so I'm holding back on my dreamy visions for now.) Here are a few photos of the suit. I love the idea of both of us being in all white, it's elegant and casual at the same time.
