My health has been hell lately but I was doing a little better and between working I went to the Royal Botanical Gardens with some friends. ❤️ It was incredibly hot, so I dressed in lots of cotton and comfy layers with low poof to keep cool.

A fave restaurant is changing management, so we went for yumcha one last time before the current owner leaves. Dressed up a little for the occasion, and ended up with a matching dessert by complete chance! Normally they give us egg tarts at the end, but today was PUMPKIN egg custard pastries!

I ran out of time getting ready this morning and skipped out on headwear, but would've liked to put an ivory headdress with this one. Alas.

We received complementary Pumpkin Pastries after the meal for Halloween. They usually give us egg tarts, so this was an interesting switch! Australia doesn't really "do" Halloween, so this was a surprise, especially at a Chinese restaurant!

I went to a small Japanese culture convention in a nearby city on October 1. Some friends were hosting a Lolita 101 panel and I wanted to visit them finally instead of them making the drive to visit us. Their panel was lovely, the con was small but very cute, and I bought a lot of mothman merchandise. I wore my absolute unit of a petticoat, which BtSSB Sheryl handles well.
