What do I wear for Awards night?

Argh!
It seems such a long time ago when the nominations for the blogging awards were floating around and everyone was asking for nomination!
I also can’t believe that somehow, this blog of mine where I write my utter nonsense, made the final category for the Best School Days blog.
However, ignoring the great time that has flown by, the awards ceremony to find out the winner is slowly creeping up on us.  This, therefore, has left me with a big old question: what am I going to wear?

I am notoriously bad at choosing clothes; in fact it is a bit of a running joke amongst my friends when I am stuck in a shop staring at the rail for 10 minutes because I have no idea what to choose. Now, I am sure that this is partially to do with my D.P.D and the fact that I am a man and the generalised sexist assumption of men and shopping also applies to me.
Usually to help me through those difficult decision making moments I have friends on by via Whatsapp to help me out! I send a photo of the options and they usually choose for me.
This time I have decided to look online for clothes. The awards are only 2 weeks away and I don’t really see that I will have that much time to go out and spend a day dithering over clothes when others could help me do it.
Looking online then would save time for everyone involved and with that I could order and get the items delivered to me.
Then I remembered that we are coming to the end of the summer holidays.
Why would this be a problem?
I am admittedly a little tight for money but I am hoping we are all in the same boat here. Days out to fun places, holidays, treats to entertain the children and on top of that all the back to school stuff that always needs buying! Admittedly, I don’t have to worry too much about the latter with us being Home Ed but there are still always costs.
This then left me in a rock and a hard place. I need a nice outfit, which I am assuming is smart casual, for the awards but possibly one that is extremely cheap that I can work within my restricted budget and to find these on an online site. Luckily I came across some deals on Love the Sales and created a mini list but as always I still need your help!
I always do well with nice plain long sleeve shirts so I quite like these 3:

Or the same as above but in plain white?
The options for the trousers are a little easier:
 Classic Jeans Mens
Dark Jeans like the ones above or traditional black trousers?
Decision, decisions and more decisions. What shall I do?
Hopefully you guy will all help me out and make me look cool and fairly dapper than my normal geeky self!
Alternatively if you have any other suggestions on what I should wear for the awards I would love to know!
(This means good suggestions you lot! I know what you guys are like….you’ll be having me dressed up in a pink flowery dress with a lovely yellow hat!)
