Here's what I came up with:

Hat: FanPlusFriend, $10
Necklace: 1928, $24
Bracelet: Forever 21, $5
Tights: Taobao, anywhere from $5 to $10
Bag: Clobba Online, $33

The shoes, clocking in at $90, are by far the most expensive part of the outfit, but these Fluevog knockoffs (via Modcloth) are less than half the price of the real deal. They'll also take you a long way if you're looking to build up a classic wardrobe.

The sad fact of the matter is that even the cheapest lolita outfit is going to be a lot more expensive than and outfit from, say, Forever 21. That said, there's certainly ways to avoid breaking the bank. Knowing a few DIY tricks will save you a lot of money on accessories and blouses in the long run. Shops like Claire's and Charming Charlie have lots of jewelry that would work great with classic lolita. Hope this helps!
