It's been a
very unfortunate month for my wallet.
It started simple enough:
I vaguely remember playing this back in the day, waiting to justify the PS3. So figured this was a good excuse to revisit it.
Then things started picking up. I lost my sunglasses to a particularly fighty wave in Costa Rica during our Christmas vacation. They weren't prescription, which was good at least. Finally planning on replacing them, I was shocked at the price to turn a normal pair of Raybans into prescriptions, so I explored other options. Happened into a
Bailey Nelson, which is an Australian company that produces all its own frames. Thanks to a special deal, all in on two pairs (one sunnies, one regular), plus eye exam, plus my better half's coverage, I walked away only spending $111 on these:
Then came the need for a summer wedding suit. I have one full suit, but it's a fairly standard gray. More importantly, it's from when I was 35lb heavier. I could get it tailored, but I found something a little less... conventional, on a recent trip to Montreal:
It's from a Canadian company called Tristan, and I had already picked up a shirt from them on said Montreal trip in March:
It works so well with the suit that I couldn't say no. Seriously, I tried every other colour but came back to this. Plus, the suit itself was on sale this past weekend. I figure I can use the pieces separately at least fairly regularly here in Toronto.
Finally, I bought a spring jacket. It's one I've wanted for years, and it finally came up for a price I couldn't refuse. No good pictures, so I'll have to take 'em myself at some point.
am well pleased, to say the least.
