Last Day of the Conference: Thank You & Farewell!




The last day of the conference was a brief and bittersweet morning spent at the good old HQ. Rich took goofy photo booth-style shots of everyone, we had a clothing swap (you'll see the treasures I scored soon), and we enjoyed one last brunch together. Everyone shared their favorite part of the conference, and I must admit I got a little misty-eyed. I want to extend endless THANK YOUs to Suz, Rich and Jessica of Weardrobe and to all the other bloggers for being so wonderful. At the close of the weekend, I felt a lot of different things. I felt so lucky to have been a part of it. I felt like I really belonged to a community. I felt sad that it was over but excited for the possibility of a reunion. Most of all, I felt completely inspired.

This is what I wore the last day of the conference. I neglected to have someone take my outfit photo, so (being the complete dork that I am) I re-created it! Hence, the different hairstyle.

As it turns out, having huge buttons down your spine is not the most comfortable for a plane ride. Oh well, I adore this blouse. Swap the jeans for a pencil skirt, and I could have been one of the flight attendants!

We are some attractive bloggers, if I do say so myself. Although, I don't know how to explain my facial expression in the first photo. Oh well.

Bloggnz bestie, for life!

Those buttons may have been uncomfortable on the plane, but they make that top!

I love how you recreated your outfit just for the post-- I prolly would've done the same thing!

and I just finished looking through all of your entries; I love how you show how there's fashion in the Midwest too! also, the fact that you thrift like no one's business is also an inspiration. Keep up the good work! :)
