My First Self-Funded Convention!

Hahaha I just realized I hadn't actually written about the convention I went to. Let me tell you the story:

I had spent all summer looking for a con to go to with the money from my first job. Fortunately, I managed to squeeze some time in between the end of my job and the beginning of my school year to attend the newly opened Liberty City Anime Con in White Plains, NY. I only went on Friday and I had my younger sister and her friend with me. Because of the young ones I couldn't go to any mature late-night panels, but we had plenty of fun anyway. 

My favorite part had to have been the performance and photo session with the idol group 2une! They were so cute and I loved talking to them and posing with them. I wanna see them live again soon~ 

The con as a whole was held in a beautiful location and the attendees were really nice~ Oh! and speaking of the attendees there were some really awesome cosplays there! lots of Free!, Attack on Titan, My Little Pony, and others! There was also one girl dressed in lolita. And that was when I missed not having my dress in time :/

I recently got an email from them that says they're moving to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Times Square for 2016! I hope it isn't too much more expensive so I can go again! ^^ And hopefully for all the days this time.

Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!

My Actual First Lolita Dress Part 2!

Ok! So here's what happened. The dress came the Monday after the convention so I never got to wear it there! Not to mention that Saturday I had left for school. I never even got to try it on until I came back!

And fortunately it fit! It's beautiful on me! The petticoat I got with it was so fluffy! And I managed to put together a quick little coordinate with it for my first meetup which happened just the other day (^-^). It was at a little store aptly named "Planet Cute" in Brooklyn near Grand Army Plaza. The other girls really liked the simple champagne blouse and pink heels and nude tights I had put it with the dress. I spent the whole time talking to other people about lolita fashion and looking at cute items in the store. It was really fun. 

I hope to go back there soon. Look them up on Facebook if you want. They also opened a new online store. I haven't looked at it yet though because I want to go back to the physical store! I should visit for Small Business Saturday! o:

Well that's all I really have to tell for today!

Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!
