Really? Have you met my child? Shorts, Jeans, Baseball Pants. That is his wardrobe. So knowing I was NOT about to go buy pants, fight finding him pants to fit, or buying dress shoes.
I got to calling around for a place that rents suits. DH was sure I would pay more to rent these clothes than I would to buy them. But I called anyway. Yep they rent them, were on our way. For $20 I rented suit pants, and shoes. SCORE!! I know I could not buy those for that price. So got them all ordered told to pick up Monday and return Thursday.
Then Monday night DS was asked to volunteer at the NHS induction ceremony Tuesday night. (Another Please no jeans, etc .. etc .. evening)
Then the awards night was Wednesday.
Meanwhile Monday evening DS's High School Baseball coaches mother passes away. The viewing was last night Thursday.
So DS got to wear those pants and shoes 3 times in the time span that he had the rental.
So my $20 rental got 3 days of usage. Now that is what I call a bargain. Though we would have all rather passed on having the use last night.

The funniest thing happen when we went to order the pants. Now I had already spoken to a sales (male) associate about his sizing issues. He told me they only rent children size suits, but he apparently looked it up and said nope he would be fine. So we walk in, I tell them we are there to order suit pants and shoes.
Woman: Ma'am we only have children sizes.
Me: I know.
Woman: (looking around) Where is the child
Me: (pointing to DS standing taller than me) Here.
Woman: Ma'am he is too big to fit in child's.
Me: (looking around) I spoke to a male associate on the phone he said it was all right.
Woman: (calling another associate) Did you speak to this woman about a child's suit for HIM?!?
Man: Ma'am this is the son you called about. There is no way.
Well they measured him, yep child's size 14 waist. Inseam 38.
Man & Woman (together) DAMN! He does fit in children sizing!!
No one ever believes me about the way he is built.
