>see Misty Sky MTO
>always liked it but not at the price it went for, have slightly original coord idea, what the heck, I'll jump on the bandwagon
>buy it even though it won't be here til October, $350 gone
>dream dress pops up for sale, $400
>still need a dress for an event as I don't own anything from the brand guest, buy it too
>coord planning and realise accessories/shoes/bag I want total over $200 as dress matches nothing in my wardrobe
>normie store near me is having a sale, probably going to spend $100 as I urgently need basics
>tfw you spent $1000 on hobby shit in a month and still haven't paid for the con hotel

I don't know how to feel about it. I have $3500 in savings right now so it's not like I can't afford it, even if I get some unexpected life expenses, but everyone I know would go mad if they knew I was spending that much. I've read online that hiding how much you're spending is unhealthy and can be a sign of a shopping addiction but I don't think I have one, I just don't want to make people jealous or pissy at me...

>>9466560
If it isn't harmful then I doubt you have a shopping addiction. You wouldn't be able to stop spending, and you wouldn't have a large savings.
Perhaps you feel a bit shameful of spending that much so quickly, which is why you hide it, or as you said, you just don't want to make people jealous or pissy.
Just some armchair psych shit.
Personal opinion is, you splurged and feel like you shouldn't have, you're probably going to be tight with your money for a bit until you relax.

>turn 30
>my birthday present is my bf dumping me for a girl that is 25
Why is life allowed to be this shitty?

A good alternative is to not cosplay.

>Are wigs an absolute necessity for a costume?
Yes.

>What are good alternatives to people who can't or won't wear wigs?
Don't cosplay.

Unless your natural hair is a perfect match, don't cosplay that character.

That may be my favorite cosplay Of All time

sumtin' dat not trans4murr?

Holy shit this is genious!

Sorry to be that guy but could I get some concrit on this? I posted to AANI yesterday asking for some crit and got none.

I'm really trying hard to figure out a chibi style for myself and I find outside opinions very helpful for learning.

>>9457753
Her eyes confuse me, as they just look vacant and I don't get where her pupils should be. But otherwise, she's cute. I like the proportions and body language.

The style is super cute anon! I personally like the eyes. Some crit on your sketches:
- some of the heads are sunken in, the upper left one in particular looks awkward
- proportions are a bit inconsistent (I tried to match the upper left's body with the upper right's)
- bottom right's head is kinda floating away, move it to the left a bit.

As promised, seller pics of Baby's 2002 Tiered JSK. This one's with a weak petti and not no petti.)

(Yes, I found a 2002 JSK that still had the original tag. Even worse, the security tag inside was never removed either! I'm not sure whether it's more likely that it's stolen burando or just a careless shop assistant.)

Detail shot and original tag (price matches the price on lolibrary). Ignore the waist-tie close up, it's just showing the damage from ironed-in creases.

Gulls. I'm in love with Tarte's Make Believe in Yourself collection but I always buy my makeup with some sort of coupon or sale. Should I just bite the bullet and buy directly from their website (excluded from coupons) or go through Ulta where I can at least build some points and get some deluxe sized products with a $35 purchase?

>>9405785
I always buy through Sephora. I like cashing in my points for deluxe samples. Ulta is probably good too, I just never shop there for some reason.

>>9405797
ulta is better point wise because you actually get money off whatever you want for your points; the monetary value of 1000 ulta points far exceeds 1000 sephora points

Meet ups are typically discussed in the con's thread, rather than having their own thread. You'll have better luck posing this in the Momocon thread.

I live nearby. If you want to hang, email me at [email protected]
