I think a shrine Maiden specifically will be hard to pull off without looking like a costume. You could maybe put a lightly patterned haori over a white lolita blouse and a pleated red skirt and pair it with a few other wa accessories? But I think anything that's based off a specific character/job/role is going to usually look a little more costumey. Wa is hard as it is so you'd probably be better off starting with something that's not so specific.
