A Lolita Dress does not a Lolita Outfit Make ...

I remember reading something where one very wise girl said the following, "A lolita dress does not a lolita outfit make". In my opinion, this is very true. I don't have too much money to spend on clothing in general, so I look for ways to integrate my two wardrobes, lolita and non-lolita. While I'm sure we've all seen a certain dress coordinated a million different lolita ways, how would you coordinate one major piece to a non-lolita look? to spice things up a bit, i've decided we have different levels of difficulty >D

beginner mode: use the same skirt
regular mode: use the same blouse
hard mode: use the same JSK
GOD MODE: use the same OP & at least one accessory.

the one rule is that you must use the same garment in both your outfits! pretty simple ♥ feel free to have fun with it, too; your non-lolita coordinate doesn't have to be something you'd wear outside >D

if possible, post the pictures side by side so it's easier to compare : )

here's mine (excuse crappyness, it's late.)
