[coord] cheapest or handmade coord challenge

I finally got some free time to wear this otome dress I made a while back when I was first getting back into lolita after a hiatus, and I decided to go all out budget lolita and wear the cheapest things I owned. It was pretty fun! I even wore the cheapest makeup I had, too, lol.

I made this dress from toile cotton fabric I bought from a friend, decorated a hat with ribbon and fake flowers, wore a blouse I commissioned, got out off-brand everything else! Here is the breakdown!

Hat: Daiso, $3

Flowers: Michaels, $5

Ribbon: Michaels, $2

Hair flowers: Forever 21, $2

Wig: Daiso, $6

Necklaces: Forever 21, $12

Bracelets and Rings: Daiso, $6

Blouse: commissioned, $20

Purse: TJ Maxx, $7

Socks: Yesstyle, $2

Shoes: Bodyline, $25

Dress: handmade (fabric cost $15, about 3 hours at the most to make, so $75?)

$165 for a complete head to toe outfit! That's how much I pay for a secondhand brand dress lmao

Here is the coord with the hairbow I made, wishing I had more light blue accessories. The wig is very fluffy, more like doll hair than real hair, but works just fine for lolita. And short sheer socks are starting to grow on me, I always thought they make your legs look stubby, but perhaps with a shorter skirt like here. Now, your turn to make a complete coord with the cheapest possible items!
