Deep end, definitely!!
I do have a tailor's dummy, yes, but bought it when I was reselling stuff and needed a nice way to display things. If you want to experiment with different combos, it's MUCH much easier just to lay them out on the bed and mix/match rather than putting them onto a mannequin/dummy. It actually takes a bit of time to dress a dummy nicely, pinning everything and making sure tie & square look right.
Yup: decide what vibe - or archetype, to be a little more jargony - you want to project and dress accordingly. Clothes are costume, always, it's just that some types of costumes are worn so frequently that they become your style. Or you might prefer a greater variety of looks. Whatever. I once did a Friday challenge theme where the idea was to pick something from nature to inspire a particular outfit; that's a narrow, more concrete/literal interpretation of the same idea, but easier to implement at first, I think. Crusty once wanted to do an inspired-by-a-work-of-art theme; that would another idea in the same vein.
For another example, my outfit from earlier today was inspired directly by the setting I knew I'd find myself in today. I had to do some work at a Court this morning. Knowing that, I thought it might be fun to dress like a smart solicitor. So a dark solid suit and generally conservative style, but also with that brash sartorial touch some of the better-dressed solicitors have. I must have got it right, because one of the solicitors there was wearing almost exactly the same outfit. It was quite funny really. So yeah, playing around with archetypes is fun.

This might be superfluous, but for someone that is really trying to nail down a look, do you think that a mannequin would be a good idea.
Or is that off the deep end even for THIS crowd?

You know for some odd reason, Hoegaarden reminds me of Korea...because I didn't know about it until I got to Korea and it's pretty popular over there. Now that's all I drink...if I do drink. I can't drink anymore though...Too many of these maybe?
"... two 6-packs of Hoegaarden..."
