Tackle the Faux Pas: Clashing Black & Navy & Brown

Who says you can't wear black and brown together? Who says you can't wear black and navy together  Here is a loot I rocked at work today that tackled this fashion faux pas. I don't know about you, but I kinda liked the mixed color look. Obviously it's not as sharp looking as a matching suit, etc. but for corporate business casual I really think it some how works together. What do you think?

(I know the bathroom background is totally fab right? JK! Please ignore it as I am still living at home for the next couple months until I find a permanent job and the bathroom has the best lighting in the house that I can find!)

My best friend just got a new job (and now has joined the ranks of what I call "jerks with jobs," which just means they have a job so there for are a jerk because I'm jealous, haha), and as a "reward" for just landing the job his parents are letting him have $1000 to buy a new work wardrobe. Words can not express my seething jealously, haha, but of course I am happy for him as I know he would be for me. Anyway, his new found "wealth" had me thinking... just what would I buy if I had the same opportunity. Above is what I think I would buy. Mainly I was going for investment pieces and things I wouldn't just to buy myself all at once because of the price, but given the quality they all really would be worth it in the long run I think. (And, yes, if you do the math technically this adds up to $1003 and doesn't include tax, etc. but it's a pretend shopping spree, shhh! :P)

What would you buy if you had a $1000 shopping spree for new clothes? Comment below and let me know! :)
