me in a suit!?

i have this symposium to attend next tuesday.
and now, they have put up a notice that we have to turn up in suits!
me! in a suit?
yikes.

i haven't worn a shirt to work for more than a year now!
preferring to adorn knit tops, chiffon blouses, and even tees with vests...this is going to be a bit of a problem!

and also...i don't think i look very nice in a suit.
and being a pear-shape...it is even more difficult to find a pair!
so, doing some research online now...:)

i prefer those atypical types. the 3/4 sleeves, puffed sleeves, peacoats, etc. wonder where i can find them! i did see some at g2000, but they ran out of sizes...*boo*...
