Purple Daze

In a symbolic gesture Democrats and Republicans sat together during the State of the Union address and President Obama donned a purple power  tie.  (Remember from elementary school art class?  Blue and Red make Purple.)  I don't know if we'll see any real U-N-I-T-Y over the next two years but I'm jumping on the bandwagon.  But since I'm not the President, I'm bolstering my look with a purple and white gingham shirt. 

This look will add interest to a navy blue wool suit and look great with a gray wool suit.  Add a white pocket square to keep it classy.  A word of advic:.  Don't wear a purple tie to a job interview.  People might think you're too confident.  Remember, you're not the President, yet.
