Avoid

Combinations to skip

Skip the olive sweater. Brown and olive are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
Skip the light blue jeans. Jeans are more casual than a blazer, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm brown; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
