[event] Anime Austin Tea Party

I went to Anime Austin's debut last weekend and attended the tea party on Sunday for lunch! I was in Austin mostly to visit my friend Cat, (who visited us in Dallas a lot) and also to hang out at the artist alley, hawking these charms that need selling lol. I brought a simple lolita coord for the tea party, which was unfortunately not very well advertised and thus not attended to capacity. However, I thought it was a pleasant setting with solid lunch food instead of the usual tea party fare lmao, the maids made great conversation and a few seemed quite interested in starting lolita if they weren't also cosplaying, and I personally got a lot of freebies, so not bad for the ticket price.

Here was my outfit for the day, except replace the blond wig with the long brown wig and no hair flowers and Meta socks instead of tights. (Too lazy to retake the photo.)

Lief Stella JSK, Innocent World blouse and bolero and purse (not pictured), Metamorphose bow, Grimoire tights, offbrand shoes, tiara, accessories. I won best-dressed at the con for this coord and got a Rilakkuma kigurumi and 2 cutesy shoujo manga volumes! 

A pic of the table setting, which was super cute Alice and bird-themed.

And of course the most important part of any tea party, desserts!

I hope to visit again next year and that Anime Austin continues to grow. For a small first year con, it felt very organized, so I wish it the very best!
