Cosplay Complications

So. For my upcoming anime convention me and a friend are gonna be the red an blue umbrellas from the blue umbrella short clip.

I'm gonna be the red umbrella. As to save money- I thought it would be smart to make my own stuff. Even going alone to painting my own boots. And now I'm sad. Cuz I tried walking in them and the paint cracked everywhere. I'm saaadddd *sobs* I honestly thought it would work. Now I'm forced to buy actual red rainboots.

I don't like how expensive cosplaying is ; A ;

oTL I need a job. *sob sob*

*thus a post of just cosplay complaints. Ignore if you want.*
