Boots are never cheap. at least not the swashy kind. go dirt cheap at a costume shop and buy the boot tops. these are either tops to tuck into a pair of boots or a boot upper that pulls over your shoe with an elastic band that goes under the sole of the shoe to cover the leg. I like the second type better given a choice.
Hats will be a costume store choice for any sort of wide brim look. a Zorro type hat will work with a few feathers added and part of the brim pinned up.
Shirts... ladies section of goodwill. find a big frilly front in the dress shirts.
pants: anything tight will work just tuck them into the boot things you get.
jackets:This was easier in the 80's. that short cropped jacket works well for this but they are hard to find now. you may need a matador type costume to pull this off.
belts: Walmart women's department. I'm not kidding, big wide things with metal bits for flair.
vests work great IF you add some shoulder peices to them as well.
