AFP (Away From Planet)

I stopped by the Community Thrift and Trade event to check out the sale tables and gatcha machines, then accidentally caught a ride with one of the prizes.

Balloon: Lisp Bazaar Oopsies Balloon (CTT 25L gatcha)

Shorts: [Nerd.P] Mantae Short Pants Check 1 (CTT 40L gatcha)

Boots: DECO Garden Center Mud Boots (new release, not free)

Sand & Stripes

Traveling to the farthest reaches of the grid, I found the Hunts & Shizz Headquarters, with some free and inexpensive clothes for men (and ladies) set out by Oh My Box! Hunt participants.

Day and Night

I spent the week doing cost analyses, spreadsheets and writing TPS reports. Thanks to some of my budget research I saved some money on business attire by picking up this outfit during the 49L Sale For Dudes (through May 28.)

After a long week I was ready to unwind. Again the sale came through with casual wear for an evening at the local watering hole. All the money I saved meant I could buy the good scotch.
