Work gear
So I went to Macquarie Centre after Mayz and Ethan's engagement party to finish buying some work clothes. Looking back, I'm quite satisfied with the purchases over the last two weeks:
Julius Marlow shoes from Direst Shoe Warehouse: $80
Was hoping for even cheaper shoes seeing I was buying from DSW but 80 bucks is ok. Hopefully they are of good quality and will last for awhile.
Business shirts from Double Bay Warehouse: 2 for $30
Quite nice but they're made of cotton and polyester so in the end, maybe not such a wise purchase. I also have two other business shirts from industrial training so that should be enough to last the week. Hopefully Fridays are dress casual days.
Rio 5 pack business socks from Big W: $10
Cheap. I like.
Black pants from Big W: $30
Probably don't need it as I already own a pair but that one is a bit too big so bought one that's a size down and also in case I don't get the chance to wash it on the weekend (busy/rain etc) I have a spare pair for the following week.
Black belt from Big W: $20
Again don't really need it but with my existing Giordano one, one of the screws fell off so again, I bought this as a backup. Did actually consider getting a $40 one from Myer but couldn't justify myself getting it.
Converse Folio bag from Converse store, DFO: $20
Was $25 but there was a 20% storewide discount.
Total amount spent: $190
Perhaps the quality of the belt is questionable and I would have needed to spend a bit more had I not own some business shirts already. Of course there's the whole quality Vs price thing so I'll see whether I need to purchase new clothes 6-12 months down the track.
