@Acoustic: Target hankie? :-) I like the jacket. (I'm a sucker for herringbone.)

I may have found a place that's ok for pics - the elevator at work. Still on the hunt for a slam dunk location, though.
So here we go...
Suit: Tommy Hilfiger trim fit grey pin stripe (the one with what Joe calls "Voltron" shoulders)
Shirt: Express blue/white spread collar
Tie: Nordstrom 1901 black wool with blue dots
Shoes: Kenneth Cole slip-ons (nothing fancy, but they were cheeeeeap on reduced clearance)
Watch: Fossil Walter w/ black band (http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/cla...k-fs4630p.html)
The suit jacket, in retrospect, could possibly have been one size smaller. Since they sell as separates, it's not too late to find out. The flaring in the mid-section is not the suit, though. That's just my shape.

I like that tie a lot, Alan. I thrifted a navy pindot and it's one of my favorites, goes with just about everything.
Shirt: Neiman Marcus via Last Call
Tie: Thrifted
Jacket: Thrifted (100% cashmere made in Italy!)
Belt: Lacoste via Nordstrom Rack
Jeans: Lucky Brand via Costco
Watch: Timex submariner homage I sniped off eBay for a song
Shoes: Chippewa boots, though this time not by choice. I wanted to wear some wingtips but it's supposed to start snowing pretty heavily right as my evening class begins - I didn't want to slide my way home.

@Alan - Quite the powerplayer look you got there. I think a pair of black captoe balamorals would seal the deal even more.
@BenR - I've always enjoyed your WIWT posts because they look very well put together in a simple effortless way that doesn't try to draw attention to one's self purposefully. I think this last one may be my favorite from you so far - the jacket really completes it.

@BenR: Thanks! It was actually featured in one of Joe's posts last month about a sale at Nordstrom. It was my first wool tie, but I liked it so much I've acquired two more since then. :-) Your tie AND jacket are both pretty great, too. I have yet to find a thrifted tie that doesn't REALLY suck, but it seems everyone else here has had some success. And I've been looking for a jacket similar to that one.
@acoustic: Thanks! It's funny that a lot of my dressiest clothes are also my least expensive. And some black cap toe balls are definitely on the wish list. The Kenneth Coles are new and I only need one pair of black shoes at a time (at least for now), but I'm sure they'll wear out soon enough. Then it's all about the black cap toe bals.

Just another casual Friday. Really not much to see. I walked out the door before I realized I'd left my denim jacket. So just pretend like it's there. :-P
Shirt: Banana Republic navy/white micro stripe
Pants: Banana Republic
Shoes: Poulsen, Skone, & Co wingtips (close-up here)
Watch: Fossil Walter (black band)
Belt: some random brown belt
Imaginary jacket: Lands End Canvas denim jacket
And yes, the belt doesn't match the shoes. I've owned the shoes for less than 24 hours and don't yet own a matching belt. :-P

@Alan - would not have noticed the belt unless you said something.
Try this suggestion. It took me a while, but I'm getting better about it!
