All pieces under 100 on pretty much everything I have. Technically, the blue suit was sold as suit separates, otherwise, it would be just over.

Where'd you get all that stuff?

Very well done. PTWilliams, take note!

Only constructive criticism I'd have is that the collars on some of the shirts are too big and the khaki jacket is too small.

Thanks.

Most stuff is from H&M. If you pick carefully, you don't have to look like you are wearing a 12 year old boy's clothing.

Both suits, navy chinos, and the light jacket (which is actually grey) are from H&M.

Green knit tie was thrifted, blue knit is from Macy's, and grey knit was on sale at Urban Outfitters ($5).

Pocket squares and boat shoes are from Target.

Sweater is French Connection.

Yellow shirt is Ralph Lauren, Green shirt was on sale at Urban outfitters, white shirt I don't remember.

Jeans are from Gap and boots are Stacy Adams Madisons.

Cheapest elegant dress boot.
