Replicating a charcoal suit with a light blue shirt and dotted navy tie seems bold. I wish you luck.
I think a sport coat is fine with jetted pockets. For example:
However, it is concerning that you are using a worsted cloth, as there are several "signifiers" that you are wearing an orphaned suit jacket. With the images above, the fabric is obviously jacketing.
I know this has been discussed here or elsewhere a few times, but how did you have the conversation with a spouse/partner to not buy you clothes.
I'm insanely picky about what I wear, which is not a reflection on the cost (or even construction of things), but the fit and how it goes together with the rest of what I have. My girlfriend is awesome and has bought me stuff a couple of times now, but I feel bad because some (read:most, read:all) of it is stuff that I wouldn't really wear. I had her return something she got me saying that it didn't fit well.

Keep a wishlist of stuff you would actually wear / use that covers the cost spectrum (e.g., pocket squares, ties, socks, belts, cuff links, shoes, shoe care creams / brushes) and make sure she's aware of it.
