New Lolita Outfit! And a Mini Purse Tutorial

I got a wonderful Bodyline skirt for Christmas, and today I made a coord with it ^^
Please bear with me on the pictures :)

 I like this set of rings, and I've never worn this watch before but my grandma got it for me for my birthday and I like it :3

 I made this purse out of an old letter/note box and designed this outfit around it because I was so proud of it. What I did was 

1) make sure the box was clean

2) punch two holes in it for the purse string

3) found four colors of embroidery thread that matched the color scheme of the box to braid together

4) Threaded the string through the holes and knotted the ends on the insides so they didn't slip out

5) enjoy!

 My earrings and necklace are both butterflies, and my tights were the tan color of the box background. I really thought it was cute

Sorry for the not-so-great look of the outfit, I was kind of rushed out the door this morning so I didn't get to take pictures until twelve hours later, when I finally got home. I have a really long schedule this semester, but I've only got two days of class so that's nice. 

 How did I do on my lolita outfit?
