A toga update

Last weekend, I headed back to my parent’s place to put in the final vinyl window inserts. It was a good feeling as all of the windows have now been replaced and the task is complete. I stopped by Fabricland to buy some material for my toga. I started looking at material on the rack and realized that four yards of anything could be expensive. I talked to the sale associate and she suggested I look at the one-dollar table but none of the colors were suitable. We went next to the half-off table and I found a blue-gray material that was the end of the line. I was relieved when there was just enough to make my toga. I am glad that I decided not to wear purple as I don’t want to look like a clone among 300 other students. I was debating whether I need some props like a sword, a clasp, or a laurel wreath but decided I just want to be an ordinary roman wearing a toga. The one thing I bought was a package of safety pins as they will come in handy keeping things together as I want to avoid an embarrassing moment. I’ll post pictures of Julius Caesar Chris once I am back from the conference.
