Putting together an outfit/Day of Thrifting ^_^

Today I wanted to wear Lolita...but then it became a thrifting day, so I wanted to dress vintage~y...

The Result became...another one of my Dolly-Loli coords XD

breakdown of outfit:
blouse: Goodwill
lace top & bag: Ross'
skirt: handmade
belt: Cinnamon Girl
(close-up of accessories)
headband, ring, bracelet: Icing
necklace: booth @ KKon ^_^

Now, someone once asked me how I go about putting my outfits together...& basically, i start w/ one piece...& then go from there until i'm satisfied ;)

Today's was the headband ^^ Then, i searched my closet for something to match it, which turned out to be my Loli skirt.  Then, I found the green blouse to match the skirt.  & finally, i wanted a more Dolly-kei look, so i added the lace top & belt/accessories ^_^

*a short note about my skirt: So, this skirt was my VERY FIRST Lolita project...& I attempted to use the GLB pattern & everything...but, b/c of the insanely tiny japanese measurements...the skirt came out a little different than how i wanted...but, Actually, I get A LOT of use from it b/c it's casual enough to wear to family occasions, so maybe that was a good thing... ;D *

Lastly, come shoes...which is often the hardest to decide for me(bags are the other hard one :/ )...but since i was planning on trying on shoes, i opted for flats XD This gives a more dolly-kei look.
 But, if this was for a meetup...i'd probably wear knee highs & elegant boots...& i would change my purse to match (purse was found during thrifting) & this is the more Lolita look.
And, of course...the Loot ^_^
couple tops (the red one is Michael Kors ;D ), versatile sheer cover-up, cute dress, some espadrilles, a couple purses & a jewelry holder ^_^  Sadly, i couldn't find what i actually need...ballet flats...sigh...i might just make-shift/alter something.
