Hello and questions :)
Warning: long newbie post ahead- please be nice? :)
I have finally gotten to a point where I can spend money on the lovely clothing I've been lusting over since a friend brought a GLB to class in eighth grade. (I am now a junior in high school o.o). I need to check on some pretty dresses I couldn't find proper reviews for, and some advice on what to buy first...
I have been periodically reading a massive number of forums and lolita websites for years, but I now have about 200 dollars I can spend on lolita clothing. My style is basically gothic, with bits of sweet or classic so long as it stays black, medium/dark gray, or dark green (which is my favorite color).
I currently own:
I can make most accessories, but I can't make complex clothing without huge amounts of free time, and space to set up the sewing machine, which I cannot do until winter (and I'd like to be dressed up long before that :). My mother has agreed to take me thrift store shopping for some blouses to be lolified and some shirts to be made into cutsews. It's nearly summer, and I plan to make myself some bloomers and fancy up some shirts over the break.
Of the following items, which ones should I get, considering my wardrobe so far? (They are all from bodyline, because of their low prices, and none have bad reviews so far as I can tell- if you find any, please tell me?)I can only really afford 3 of them- If you have alternate suggestions, I'd love to hear them, just keep in mind that I am 5'11" tall, so some things may not fit too well :)
Also, I couldn't find any reviews for L505, so if you have one, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance!

I currently own:
- a JSK from sweet mildred made of alexander henry's skeleton toile (google it, it's awesome)
- a dark green JSK I made in my fashion design class, it's very basic, but I like basic <3
- a handmade, cotton petticoat that gives an okay poof
- a black H&M shirt that works under the JSKs
- a collection of bows I made from some online tutorials
- a large collection of black, gray, and multicolored knee high socks
- a pair of plain black mary janes (that need to be replaced...)
