Okay, thanks fellas! I'm feeling better already. How about the belt color? I am not very good at "seeing" matches vs. clashes, and therefore it's a shot in the dark most of the time. Brown okay with grey/black/blue? Cheers, mates!

Thanks, ya'll! The encouragement and tips/tricks are all very valuable! Cheers!

@Alan Dormire Thanks, brother! I have found some other videos of hemming that I think I can use. Now, to find a sewing machine and learn how to use it... This Skool shit ROCKS!

@Robert Woodhouse Lots of compliments! Oh, how I wish I had found y'all 20 years ago! I coulda been stylin' this whole time!

Check out my first foray into looking better! Thank you all for the advice/assistance!

Excellent questions, @Nicholas Yarka ! I guess my needs are both casual work/casual play. I'm still so comfortable in "thrift store bum" clothes that I can't see beyond that. I feel extremely uncomfortable in nicer clothes, so much so that it is difficult to wear them! I will check out your case study, for sure! Thank you! Cheers, friend!
