P.S. Those LV shoes are sick. The pricetag is not.

You're on the right path. Navy, black, khaki, dark gray, light gray are all good colors that aren't hard to work with.

Anything except black. And just get a matching belt to go w/ the shoes and you're good to go.

American Eagle has two colors of desert boots on sale for $29.95. I was holding out for some new Clarks in sand suede, but for this price I got both colors forcheaper than the Clarks. You can search google for a 15% off code as well. My total order came to like $70 with tax and 2nd day air.

I feel that the black suit, in a stylish, slim fit has become completely acceptable to wear to work. You can even throw it on with a white shirt and whitesneakers for an even less formal look, It is not just for black tie anymore.

I have a J. Crew card. The process was pretty quick. Fill out a form and give them a credit card, and you will find out in a couple of minutes. My credit limit is $5,000...pretty high for a clothing store IMO. I've gotten the $25 gift card twice already. I think you need to spend $500 in acertain cycle to qualify. They always send me fliers and outfit ideas in the mail and email as well.

About to go to lunch with mom then school. PS I know the tie knot is a bit loose, I'm driving to lunch so I'll tighten it up after we get to thedestination.

 

[russ tha g]

I actually don't think the casual-fitting tie looks bad, when worn to a casual occasion.
