Mrs. Buttons's Picture
Mrs. Buttons, Clearwater, FL Age and Occupation: 24, "Working on it" Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Financial Services Engagement Date: June 13, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: Carlouel Yacht Club About Me: I'm a self proclaimed perfectionist and a professional nomad (seriously, I've lived in TX, WI, MI, FL, NC, and now VA!). I love wine, cooking, curling up with a good book (nerd alert!), spoiling the furbaby, and of course, the wonderful Mr. Buttons! We are planning a lighthearted and whimsical wedding (with a good deal of DIY projects) in Clearwater, Florida, but from a distance of 800 miles away! We are looking forward to sharing our day with our family and friends, and most importantly, starting our lives together as husband and wife!
About Mrs. Buttons

Ok… so you’ve already heard about our suit shopping debacles… I bet you’d like to see how it turned out!

When Mr. Buttons and I were in Florida for Thanksgiving, we inevitably wanted to check for any amazing Black Friday sales. Normally, I do not get up at the crack of dawn to shop, but if there is something particularly good on sale I can be convinced to do so. When the Black Friday ads came out, Mr. Buttons noticed the Kohl’s insert, which I had passed over (foolishly). Annnnd guess what? They were having a sale on their suits until noon! My ears immediately perked up.

So… Mr. Buttons and I arrived at Kohl’s at 8AM the day after Thanksgiving to scout out the suiting! I must say, I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The suit separates that were on sale were by Apt. 9, and they had a very nice textured charcoal suit that fit Mr. Buttons very well!

Don’t judge me, lurking in the mirror… I didn’t shower…

One of Mr. Buttons’ groomsmen showed up to Kohls while we were shopping, and he and his wife liked it as well! Yay! And, do you know what we liked even more? The price!

Original price for coat and pants: $300

Sale price (with an additional 15% off coupon): $122

Mr. Buttons went ahead and purchased the suits for all of the groomsmen so we wouldn’t have complications. We had to order some of the pieces over the phone at customer service because they didn’t have them in stock… but they didn’t charge us for shipping - yay! And, because it was a sale, we received $10 in Kohl’s cash for every $50 we spent… so we racked up $120 in store credit to use at a later date! Don’t you just love a good deal?

So, the suit search was finally over! Now… what ever shall they wear underneath that suit?

Did you rent or purchase suits/tuxedos for your wedding? Did you find any good wedding items on sale on Black Friday or after Christmas?

Nice suit! Did the GMs buy the same one? We’re thinking about doing this instead of tux rental and wondering how this goes over with GM?

@jennybirdy: Yep - we bought all of the suits for the GM at that time to make sure that there weren’t problems with them acquiring the correct suit…and they paid Mr. B back! $122 is pretty much the same price as a suit rental, so they were all fine with it (especially since 2 of them wear suits to work…they will definitely use it again).

@Mrs. Piglet: Yeah…I think the pricetag makes it even MORE appealing! ;)

@miss callalilly: Haha! I was NOT dressing up at 8am on Black Friday….no siree Bob! I love my yoga pants whenever I’m able to get away with wearing them…

Buying them for the GMen is just so much easier! Our guys appreciated just having to cut a check and getting to keep their duds.
