I recently bought this uniform, and it's come to my attention that there are very few examples of black people dressing up as maids. Has anyone in this thread seen a black person dressed as a maid or have dressed up as a maid themselves? I'm so lost at what to do!

I did when i was little and i plan to do so again. what you need help with?

My main issue is with accessories.The uniform is blue, but I only have black mary janes that would go with such an outfit. Do you recommend matching my shoes to the dress, or would mismatched shoes be fine? I blame my involvement with the Lolita style giving me a complex of making sure my shoes match my dresses lol.
I also am at a loss of what to do with my hair. It is relaxed and relatively long(past the shoulders when fully straight), so I think that as long as i went to the salon before going to a convention, I could just put my hair in a cute style and go. I could, however, wear a wig and not worry about styling at all. I'd love to hear your experience if you went with your own hair or with a wig.
Thank you so much for being willing to help a newbie like myself!

Finished my Kiba rule 63 cosplay, and tha pic is posted on the FB page, but if anyone's interested in seeing it here I'll post it later

Now All i gotta do is Rainbow Dash wings, and find a way to get these two wigs done and I can relax. I've still got 3 months. Man time flies when you're working on cosplay!!

I'm certainly willing to give advice where ever possible.

I wanted to learn some dances (Vocaloid XD) So I chose Love and Joy (Had it in a day! Hooray, it's an easy dance) then chose Matryoshka....-_- What. Was. I. Thinking? Lol sooo fun, this is gonna take months! But I'm gonna stay dedicated. Even though this dance is insane
