I think it's impossible. The shoe issue is just too crucial. Anyway, here's something that's a notch dressier than jeans and tee... chinos and tee! Ha. No belt either, so make sure the trousers fit.

$78 Blazer Urban Outfitters
$5 Tee Old Navy/Target
$40 Slim Chinos Urban Outfitters
$35 Chucks Footlocker

$158 Total

22 oz Sapporo, $3

hey, that's what I'm wearing right now..maybe this is the wrong forum.

No jacket, but I suppose the Sapporo will keep you warm, at least for awhile.

its only 57 here and I'm riding my bike around so, the movement and the sapporo will keep good care of me.

I only had to read to second post. To save a few bucks, change those slip-ons to havainas flip-flops ( $7 ).

 

[tangerine]

Levis 514 $40
Vans Old Skool $45
AA t-shirt $15
AA thermal hoodie $48

$148

I can't go outside, though, no sunglasses. Maybe I'll get the non-thermal hoodie and a pair of $7 Walgreens sunglasses.

I have $2 left for a happy hour PBR.

For me:

cabella classic crepe boot 69.95

Levis stf: 46.00

I don't know how much this is but it would be close I think.

Gap (or similar) jeans
white tshirt
black AA hoodie
adidas sneakers
cheap leather belt

 

[drizzt3117]

You know a funny thing is the outfit I'm wearing in the AE thread is less than $150.

Total $143.90

Stretch skinny jeans from trash and vaudeville (black, white or gray) - $48
Dress shirt from H&M - $10
Purple rit dye for the shirt- $4
Star pattern socks from H&M - $5
Random cheap plastic dress shoes from payless - $30
Black leather belt - $5
Can of gold spraypaint for the shoes and belt- $1
FTL white briefs - $5 for 3
Grey knit tie - 50 cents from thrift store (I have only bought 2 new ties in my life)

I'd buy a vest or a sweater with the rest.

Them's the rules.

But, you get extra credit for the dye, the spray paint, and the fact that you intend to wear socks and underwear, which most of us have ignored.
