Thanks for the re-take on it. Reassuring to see I'm not totally off and what I can change to make it look better. I'm pretty sure my wallet is going to take a pounding over Thanksgiving break to get some better chinos and better shoes.

Kind of a bluestravaganza today (not my normal Friday work attire, but 1) I wanted to try out the new shirt; and 2) I'm meeting the missus after work for a benefit auction/drinks thing):
Suit: Uniqlo Tasmanian wool (from last winter)
Shirt: Blank Label (2nd from them, pretty darn happy with the fit, very pleased with the turnaround time and customer service)
Tie: Kent Wang
Tie bar, pocket square: the tie bar
Shoes: Grenson

@Shomas, digging the dapper demeanor man, i really like blue stripes under a jacket, very nice...
Jessy, awesome redo thats the picture i had in my mind as well...very nice including the white shirt, i dont think light blue under teal would ever work correctly...

@Shomas: There are many ways to wear burgundy shoes, but my favorite is with a navy suit. I like the whole blue thing, too. I'm not generally a fan of such powerful shirts with suits, but I think the whole monochromatic theme helps to smooth it out.
@Acousticfoodie: Nice jacket. Where'd you find it?

This isn't actually what I wore today; I got this brown tweed jacket as a very surprising birthday gift from my grandmother (it's just out of the box, wrinkled still in the picture) and tried it on with what I was wearing, and I like the combination. I need to get the sleeves taken up a bit but otherwise I'm very happy with the jacket's cut and texture (it's tweedy but very soft.)
Jacket: J Crew Ludlow Tweed Herringbone
Shirt: Target poplin gingham
Tie: Tie Bar knit
Pants: J Crew Slim Straight Cords (on clearance from the spring)
Shoes: Stafford wingtip

I'm trying this sweater thing again, with the popped collar this time. Looking like an idiot? Or is it ok?

Sweater: Thrifted "Club Room" (Macy's brand?) beige zip-up cashmere sweater
Shirt: Target Pink button-down
Tie: Navy wool hand-me-down
Pants: J Crew Cords, slim straight
Shoes: thrifted Bostonian beaters (going to rain today)

@BB: It's an improvement, for sure. I see no problem with the tie in there, but I also wear ties about 50% of the time so I'm rather immune to seeing them. Since the sweater is cashmere, that really helps it to fit in under the jacket and brings the whole ensemble up a notch. And I'm all for wearing ties casually.
