I just bought a shirt, at the local thrift store, that is close enough to what will pass in an 11th Doctor costume. What I am trying to say is that I am now committed. A bow tie will not be that much online. The most expensive items will be buying the screwdriver (but shipping will be minimized because at the same time I will buy a Blue Sun shirt, and my roommate will get a chrome Star Trek Jesus Fish) and suspenders, but I think I can get that for less than the first set I found for $20. Oh, and though I will not need it for a while, if ever,* I should probably get a tweed jacket. The issue though is knowing what my dimensions are, and getting the color correct enough. But I think I found something for $20, not including shipping

I already have black slacks, but, aside from the shoes I shall use, I have to buy everything else. (I have tried building an Sonic Screwdriver Mark VII, but that is continually becoming less likely. I have attempted a few techniques, but at the same time I also have to worry about the few gold/copper/bronze pieces LEGO has made.)

The biggest issue I am coming across right now is probably the color burgundy, which I can get the bow tie and suspenders in, but I think that sounds more purpley, but just plain red would be too bright. Edit: I am reading this one site about someone making their own costume (thanks Tilius) and they keep saying burgundy.

(I'd love to get a fez too. Hmm... That might require the jacket though, since that is when he was wearing it. I shall forgo a mop however.)

*I plan on wearing this for a hopefully Halloween party mid-October, and probably Halloween, and maybe for a Renaissance Festival, but my next convention is most likely BrickFair '11, and that is not a cosplay event. There is not much need for the added layer, but I never know...
