Don't like the tie/shirt combo PG - a little too light / washed-out across.

I like that, too. I think it's a nice Spring look. Sometimes it can look too formal, but I like this.

The pictures are pretty crappy with the iphone in artificial light. The suit is blue and the tie has more yellow in it than shows up.

That shirt collar is too small to wear with a jacket - try and find some shirt with taller collars and longer points. Not crazy about that square, either. There may be a fit issue with your jacket collar but it's hard to tell while you're holding a camera.

As I stated in WAYWRN I think it is excellent, but I wouldn't consider this conservative business dress. I don't think an odd SC is ever truly conservative business dress. It is Business Casual, or good for a weekend conservative business dress, I think.

Edit: Where's your square?
