Consider a black sweater vest to get rid of the shiny vest. The satin vest is just too formal of a garment to look right dressed down to shirt sleeves. Either that or you have to get some nickel accessories to make the rest of the outfit look as formal as the vest does. Nickel kilt pin, semi-formal sporran (easy way to bring some bling into an outfit), nickel pocket watch chain slung across front of vest, nickel cuff links,... or something. I know funds and time are tight.

Oh, and to tie the top and bottom half of the outfit together, maybe some maroon flashes or some black satin flashes (just get some black satin ribbon from walmart and tie them around the leg.
