Birthday Coord Help [slight pic heavy]

First I want to say that I am a newbie to this comm so if this is a no-no post I sincerely apologize, but I read everything and didn't see anything about coord help post. With that said, I wouldn't call myself a newbie to lolita, in fact I've been into lolita for about 7 years now, however, it's taken me a while to feel confident enough to wear female-centric clothes, so this is the first time I'm going to wear a full coord and go into public.
For my 21st birthday my mom is taking me on a BABY shopping trip, and I thought it was a perfect opportunity to wear lolita out for the first time, and great because my favorite piece I own is my AaTP JSK! Only problem, I've never put together a full coord before and really don't feel like making a fool of myself, so I thought I'd ask for help. Here are pictures of my current progress:
EDIT; I got a blouse so I updated the first picture



Concerns:
- The shape of my petticoat seems to be the wrong shape.
- I only have 1 petticoat, worried I need 2 for correct amount of poof.
- Off-white socks with off-white shoes. I was thinking of getting a deep red shoe, to pick up the red in the pattern and the red rose I'll have in my hair. Or should I go with different color of socks.
- Using my Sentimental Circus bag with the coord. Does it make it too childish? I don't have another bag that matches. I know an off-white bag would work well but I don't really want to have to spend even more money and would rather just use something I already have. Plus I really love my Sentimental Circus pouch...
- The lace cutsew seems to go okay to me, and I'd have an extra layer just in case it's a bit chilly, but I'm not entirely sure it goes well. I don't want to cover up all that brand with something off-brand.
- I am really having a problem also choosing a wig to go with this coord. I have 11 wigs but I've narrowed it down to these 3:






Any help/ changes would be deeply appreciated. I really don't want to look like rubbish especially at a lolita shop. Thank you so much.
