Hello friends! <3
This past weekend was Ruffle Con. A convention with a big focus on lolita and other japanese fashions. I went with a bunch of friends from the lolita comm. It was about 7 hours away by car, so a nice little road trip :-)

Packed up the car and left in the morning. Picked up a couple friends and started on our way. Arrived in the evening, checked into the hotel, and got settled in the room.
