I will be going to both days with Elie. For the Jrock, I will be wearing clothes that you always find on Singapore streets. As for the Cosplay, I will be wearing my recently bought Baby, The Stars Shine Bright lolita full dress with the Infant blouse in the inside(details to be posted in a new post with pictures). In this way, Adelyn will have a chance to see my Lolita and also Elie-chan's for she will be wearing her Infant full dress as well! =^0^=
