Gracie in town today, looking to buy "Fun and Flashy" clothing for Fashion Check

As the title of this thread states, Gracie's in my town today. This is the second time Gracie's shown up in my town for the Fashion Check. Gracie did show up last week but I didn't do the Fashion Check because the theme that was selected was Ornate, and that particular fashion style tends to get pricey (e.g. stuff like the "King" outfit). Due to the Ornate style items being on the pricey side, I didn't do a buying thread here for that.

Name of Villager/Mayor: Andrew
Name of Town: Ylisstol

In an attempt to pass what is to be my first Fashion Check from Gracie, I have two sets of clothes I'm looking to buy.

The first option - the preferred one I'm looking to buy - is the complete Jester outfit:
Hat: Jester's Hat
Accessory: Jester's Mask
Shirt: Jester's Shirt
Shoes: Jester's Shoes
Socks: Colorful Socks

In case the Jester outfit + Colorful Socks look doesn't pass Gracie's Fashion Check, I'm going to try a mix and match of items for Gracie's Fashion Check. There's items in that set I've already got (the mask options and Shrunk's jacket). This is my second option for the fashion check, in case the Jester look w/ the Colorful Socks doesn't work:
Hat/Helmet option #1; Majora's Mask (already have this, got from Fortune Cookie)
Hat/Helmet option #2: Makar's Mask (already have this, got it from Labelle)
Hat/Helmet option #3: Fi's Mask (already have this, got it from Fortune Cookie)
Hat/Helmet option #4: Midna's Mask (already have this, got it from Fortune Cookie)
Shirt/Coat: Dr. Shrunk's Jacket (already have this, got it from getting all Shrunk's emotes)
Pants: Red-Stripe Pants
Shoes: Steel-toed boots (only other 'Flashy' item for shoes/boots according to Liquefy's FAQ)
Socks: Colorful socks

This is what I'm looking to buy in addition to the Jester outfit in case the Jester look isn't enough to pass the Fashion Check:
-Red-Stripe Pants
-Steel-toed Boots
-Colorful Socks

This is what I have on hand in terms of bells:
-87,584 bells on hand
-2,820,000 bells in my ABD account

In case people would like to trade, this is what I have to offer:
-Various fruit (fruit list is below)
-Duplicates of some of the Nintendo/fortune cookie items: Metroid, Triforce, Virtual Boy and Pikmin

These are the fruits I have in my town if anyone's willing to trade:
Default fruit: Cherry and Perfect Cherry (Cherry is my town's default fruit, others were obtained either through Tortimer's Island, Isabelle, other villagers or other players):
-Apple
-Peach
-Mango
-Durian
-Lemon
-Lychee
-Orange
-Perfect Orange
-Pear
-Persimmons
-Bamboo Shot
-Banana

General rules for visiting my town:

1. Don't shake the Perfect Cherry, Lemon or Peach trees. There's only one lemon tree, one peach tree (well, two, but I only just started growing the second) and one pear tree in my town currently. In addition, I think the Perfect Cherry trees have only one or two shakes left on them before they rot or lose their leaves altogether. If you want those particular fruits, ask me.

2. Don't run over any of my hybrid flowers or red carnations. (Or any of my flowers, that goes without saying.)

3. Don't visit the Shopping district or Re-Tail, ask me first.

Thanks for reading this post.
EDIT: Thanks to postings below from Sarauh and Mistreil, I was able to pass the Fashion Check with clothing items I already have on-hand. Currently, I'm no longer looking for the items I've previously requested.

Thanks for the point-of-reference to moriDB. If you don't mind me asking, do you have any of the items I'm looking for?

Also, for those who've had successful Fashion Checks from Gracie with a mixture of the requested look and other items - how many items in the "Flashy" set do I need to pass the fashion check? This is in case I decide to do a mix 'n match with other styles, should it come to that.

Last time I had 2 items and I still passed c:
 
The majority of your outfit has to be of the theme, so that tends to be 3 items. Also, you can't be wearing anything that clashes with the theme: http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/gracie-fashion-check/

Some of the items listed there have a different name than their actual in-game equivalent, so it's better to use moriDB as a reference. You don't need any sort of matching set of clothes to pass, either. Any 3 items from the theme should work.
 
@BronzeElf: I already have Fi's Mask, but thanks for offering.

In addition, thanks for the offers, but I've decided on following the advice from Sarauh a few posts above, and I've done the Fashion Check already. I passed the fashion check, and got a Zebra Tank as a result. This is the first Fashion Check I've passed, so now I've only got to do three more successful Fashion Checks so that I can unlock the T&T Emporium.

I passed with merely two items from the "Flashy" theme series: Majora's Mask and Dr. Shrunk's Jacket. I had the Kung-Fu pants, Ninja sandals and green tights on as well during the check. I was able to get a pass for the Fashion Check with a Flashy/Historical/Sporty/Cute combination.

Again, thanks to those concerned. If I need items for subsequent fashion checks when Gracie's in my town again, I'll probably come back and request those specific items here in the Re-Tail board.
