Japan Festival of Houston

So yesterday Croweh and I went down to Herman Park for Japan Festival. It's was a lot of fun, and I got to buy stuff and attempt to make new friends.
Here's what I wore:

I decided to wear decora, because all of my cosplays were either to unreasonable for this kind of weather, broken or not made yet. I pretty happy with how my outfit came out though, all of my previous attempt at decora have looked like crap.

Anyways, so after driving in goodness knows how much traffic we finally parked and made our way down to the festival. It was kinda awkward at first because it seemed like we were the only one's dress up, but after a few minutes we got comfortable. I bought a cell phone charm in a failed attempt to compete with Bells. We saw the girl who was our neighbor in the Artist Alley at Anime Matsuri. Then we finally found Bells and walked around shopped with her for a while, she pressured me into a getting a parasol, which I've been wanting for a while, but had been more or less indecisive on. We did more shopping and Croweh  and I broke down and made Bells call a friend of ours from Matsuri cause we're socially awkward and she has better composure than us. So we met up with him so I could give him a hug and Bells dispersed from our group. So Croweh and I attempted to stalk another group of cosplayers so we could feel like we were part of a social group. Then we lost them and then found them and then we watched the cosplay contest which kinda bothered us cause we knew for a fact that not everyone in there made their cosplays...
Anyways, after that we left, it was a lot of fun despite ridiculously hot, sunny, windy weather. Plus the fact that I got a nice sunburn across my face.
