A couple years back I made my mTV movie, and it occurred to me the other day that the different segments have something in common: an infatuation with suits.
Barney is of course the world's premiere suit enthusiast. And if there's anyone that I model my life after it's Barney Stinson.
Suit Song and Dance
Only slightly less enthusiastic about the suit is Gob.
Admittedly, Michael Scott is less vocal about his love for suits, hence the horribleness of this clip.
I guess this post had little point other than youtube theft, and for to say that I bought some new suits this week. I've been trying to motivate myself for several months into making this purchase. Generally I like suits, I was just hesitant for a several reasons.
1. I don't like buying expensive items.
2. I especially don't like buying expensive clothing.
3. I live in Arizona, and buying extra layers of clothing in 120 degree weather seems daffy.
4. Jos Banks is on a neverending sale cycle, so I could never be sure when it would be a good deal to buy one.
5. I've been waiting for white tuxedos to come back into style.
But Jos Banks came up with a 3 for 1 sale and I figured I wasn't going to do any better than that. I very nearly made the mistake of buying the exact same suit I already owned because it seemed so familiar, and thus appealing. The saleslady suggested I throw out my old suit and buy the new one, but since I'm not made of money I told her to shove off. I did however pick up a nice grey, brown and blue pinstripe triple threat. That's right, brown! I'm a crazy person. Here's hoping I don't get laughed out of church this week.

I have been trying to get Travis to buy pinstripe for years. And I actually really like a brown suit (it's not the tan, right?) Now, throw away any tie that is still in your closet from before or during your mission, and that's a good step forward.
