Is there any way to scope it out ahead of time? Walk through the building maybe? Seeing what others are wearing would help. On a first day I'd rather be a little more dressed than under dressed. Your plan sounds pretty good for most offices (I don't know what kind of business you're waking into).

Do you have anything like a sport jacket you can show up in and then just take off if it's too much?

No, no walk through on this job and I don't own a suit or anything like that.

It's a county job, I got the dress code but it was kind of vague. So I think it's going to be one of those you show up and they will tell ya what you can and can't wear.

I think you'll be just fine.

For a future closet item, it doesn't need to be a suit, I never wear those, but look around local thrift stores. I've found great sport jackets for dirt cheap, which is good because I always have to shorten the sleeves a bit, about $20. Anyway, a jacket like that can add to khakis and a button up without being stuffy. It's a nice option to have around sometimes, looks good with jeans and boots too.

Good luck on the job.

I hit up the thrift store but couldn't find anything in my size as far as pants go, I am in dire need of another pair of pants, for work.

They however had an awesome pair of old school Jordans in my size.
