Suit oneself
[Informal] It means, basically, "OK, do whatever you want; I don't care". It implies that the speaker made some attempt (perhaps small) to get the listener to do something; it's not generally something you say out of the blue. It's a pretty common idiom in US English.
♂ : I don't think I'll come to the party tonight.
♀ : All right, suit yourself.
