Well,
Navy slack---second hand, Goodwill
Man's colourful plaid cotton shirt---second hand, Sally Ann
Slippers---orthopedic---expensive but covered by insurance

Socks and undies were new.
I'm dressed up to go out today.
Tracy, I wrestled with my inner miser over Hello Kitty underpants when I was in the NYC Sanrio store. I mean, this was a cosmic struggle. But they would have made every other pair in the drawer feel so inferior I couldn't do that to them!
*has brilliant idea for kitfisto*
*wonders why it wasn't thought of already*
TUM, I used to pretty much live at Ross, and on the east coast, Marshalls. #2 still has a Ralph Lauren bathrobe I bought at Ross for $5 and a DKNY moneyclip which has been through the wash twice.
flat front black slacks -- Banana Republic, tailored, I really like these cuz they *fit*

blue dress socks -- Target!
Feelin real preppy all of a sudden...

good luck! Confidence.
Sturdy handshake, eye contact.
Great thing to ask at the end, when the interviewers want to know if you have any questions: "What do you see as the challenges facing this company over the next few years?" Works like a charm. They get to blab on about themselves, and you get to look interested. Seriously. Dude.
Good luck!
Get 'em duck!
Capt. Renault I love you. I have never had anything to say when they ask that and have always felt *really* stupid ... that's a really good question. Thanks
Good luck!
MonkeyFilter: "What do you see as the challenges facing this company over the next few years?"
Truly an excellent question.
All the best ddc.
Give 'em hell, ddc! And if they won't hire a man because of his unmatched socks, it's not a company you'd want to work for anyway.
I find that "would you like two hundred dollars cash?" is another good question to ask.
dickdotcom!

Nothing like being able to afford the good things in life--like regular meals.
Wheeeee! Kongrats on the gainful employment wheeze!
IIRC, my boss came into work on Friday wearing dress shoes for the first time since I've met him. He said, "Somebody menioned that they'd never seen me in anything but cowboy boots. Where I come from, that's what everybody wears all the time so I never gave it a second thought." To my shame, I had assumed he had been wearing the boots because he's short.
