ENTRY LEVEL CHALLENGE - VOTE NOW

[basil rathbone]

Thanks to all who participated. Some nice budget fits in here. Get yo votes in! Winner will be announced in a week or so.

Tried a few cheap outfits the last few days that weren't just all Nike sportswear. All have been pretty bad. This one looks alright I think, but the photos did not come out well. I might edit this and replace it later if I come up with something better before the end of the contest. I have some non-collab Uniqlo stuff that might look alright. I realised that I usually depend on one or two designer items in my outfits and without them it just gets very basic, which is okay for day to day outfits but not really interesting for the forum. Looking forward to what everyone else comes up with.

Spoiler: Brands and Pricing

Ceremony (Korean brand): Short Sleeve Sweatshirt $AUD35 K-Mart: Long sleeve tee RRP $AUD6 Cotton On: Slouch Tapered cut denim RRP $AUD50 Adidas: Stan Smiths RRP $AUD120 Surplus: Backpack RRP $AUD30 Unbranded: Paracord bracelet off eBay RRP $AUD2 RRP Total: $AUD243 It really adds up even for cheap crap. I paid a bit less than this since most of the items were on sale, but will just use RRP for the total.

H&M knit sweater shirt thing like $20 maybe H&M jeans $30 vans vault $120 or something

I was told to post this in here! Experimenting with normcore/90's vibes. Everything is mall ****. Jacket from Gap, Jeans from pacsun, and Vans Old Skools. Favorite piece is the sweater (from J. Crew) and I really love it due to its comfort and faded color.

Only got one pic before it started raining. I'll see if I can get more (and maybe tweak the color palette?), but if I don't get the chance here's my entry.

New Look (random Asos brand) suede trucker Grana Uniqlo (from the glory days of MIJ denim) Converse The sleeve of the jacket is the same color as the body. I'm not sure why it came out looking bluish.

Sunbody/Reyn Spooner/Epaulet/What Price Glory/Novesta Total comes out to about $260 as I recall.

About as basic as it gets. Uniqlo and some custom boots that ended up being cheaper than Docs.

oooooh I think I'll play

Great work coordinating everything, Basil. That must have been a nightmare doing this up on the phone. It takes ages even on the PC.
Some really nice entries from everyone.
