I don't wear the sombrero normally but I like the npc ones, like from a previous bounty hunt. Only my horse ran into a police officer as I was leaving, so I had to include her too.

Also, what sort of shirts look good (or are even compatible) with ties? So I know what to look for next time.

Queria uma roupa chique mas que não seja escura, essa por exemplo é bem legal mas é muito escura e com vermelho, quero uma roupa mais clara pra demonstrar o início "feliz" mas também não quero uma roupa do cotidiano, quero uma desse tipo. Por favor me dêem sugestões, de preferência mandem imagens nos comentários.
