Wild West on a budget

maggied_2

Hi all

Was wondering if I could pick your collective brains.

I have to go to a work do next month with a Wild West theme - I need some ideas for a costume bearing the following things in mind:

1. Needs to be fairly cheap - was thinking of Calamity Jane but have had a look at some pictures and would need too much stuff (boots, jacket etc).
2. Needs to be none-slutty :DI'm senior-ish and there are going to be some people there who don't need to see me flashing any parts of my anatomy which are best kept under wraps! (only saying this because some of the stuff I've looked at is - slutty saloon girl, slutty southern belle, slutty cowgirl.....that's not what I googled BTW).
3. Similar to the above - I think there will be a bucking bronco (I know....but I will be expected to have a go) and other games so again something that doesn't involve flashing my bum.
4. I am not showing my stomach so the jeans and knotted checked shirt is out!
5. I'm slim and blond (so native amercian type stuff would be ok except I'm super pale and would need a dark wig:D).
6. It'll be mainly outdoors so not too flimsy in case we get a downpour / cool evening (it's at the end of this month but you never know!).

Any thoughts would be v welcome

Thanks

4. I am not showing my stomach so the jeans and knotted checked shirt is out!

I just wore a vest top underneath the knotted checked shirt when I had a wildwest themed gig, no way I was showing my tum either!.

If you have long hair, wear low pig tails tied with ribbon. could add freckles with a makeup pencil.

Trawl charity shops or free cycle for cowboy hat and suitable boots....might not get it but worth a go.

Good luck!

Basic google search shows very cheap cowboy boots if that helps?

Thanks very much! I can't use Google at the moment but I'll have a look at them when I've got my new computer.
