First, beer is good. I hear you. All input is appreciated. But casual attire will come next. I admit, what I've got isn't worth much in the way of socializing in Atlanta.
But I do have to start with suits at least for the interview process. See what kind of company I land and alter my shopping from there.
Shirts, I'll need dress shirts. I do need a big and tall store, and there are two fine ones in Birmingham, about an hour away. I've bought from them before. I'll have to check prices though. If I get anywhere close to $100 a shirt then I'll just have my tailor do them. It's funny that I've found tailors aren't necessarily that expensive next to some of the name brands.
I handled the watch scenario a couple of years ago.

Graduating from the University of Alabama in December '14, double major in finance and economics(at the ripe young age of 37). I also am Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Trained from Ga Tech's executive education. I need to do a project to turn that into a certification and I'd like to do that Black Belt training in January so that I could walk into the process saying that all I need is a Black Belt project. So I'm looking for employment in Atlanta for several reasons. Top of which are I have family there, my brother, his wife and kids, and there are six MBA programs in the Atlanta area. I've got my eye on one of them in particular, I just have to see if I can get their eye on me.
So yeah, I need to caucus with the ACE5 crew at FBody Gathering on Memorial Day weekend when I'm over there, get to know some people. We'll see. If you don't have plans that weekend, you should come. I'm certain there will be other SC people there, my buddy is riding over from Greenville.

Damn it, how'd you guess what I wear?
Seriously, I've been to clubs in Alabama where the rednecks do have their nice camo shirts that they iron and wear out at night, and that's how they dress up. I'm talking Real Tree with creases down the sleeves looking sharp. Wrangler jeans, new pointy toed boots, and a rat tail hanging out the back of their cowboy hat.
