/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm planning out my first coord, so I'm starting from complete scratch! So while I really like some of the more expensive blouses/shoes etc I'm looking for cheaper alternatives to start out with so I can focus on getting brand dresses/accessories. For example, I really like the Romantic Bustier-Style blouse from AP which is what I have in this picture, but i was wondering if you guys knew of any similar blouses that are a little cheaper? Haven't looked much into shoes yet, but again, any lower range suggestions would be nice. I'd' probably like black shoes with gold accents.(Planning on adding some gold jewelry to bring out the gold in my headbow
Also, I feel like I should do more with my hair/head than just the bow considering how small it is, but I don't want to overdo it.Should I just like curl my hair or make it voluminous and balance it out like that?
