What works: the burgundy V-neck over the plaid is a strong move — the collar peeking through gives it structure without making it feel stiff. Olive trousers ground it perfectly; burgundy and olive are old friends, and they make each other look more deliberate. Black Chelsea boots are the right shoe for this register.
What I'd change: the V-neck is reading a touch relaxed in the body — it's slightly soft against the more structured shirt underneath. Not a fit problem, but the outfit could land sharper.
Swap: trade the V-neck for the navy merino crewneck you wore three weeks ago. You keep the layered look (the plaid collar still shows), but the cleaner neckline reads more intentional. The burgundy is great for a weekend lunch — for dinner with friends, the navy holds up better.
One small thing if you want to dial it up: untuck the plaid collar slightly more on the right side — it's sitting a bit flat. A half-inch of asymmetry reads as deliberate.
