Happy Monday, Everyone!
Wow. I don’t even know where to start! First of all, this weekend was absolutely amazing. Second, I am beyond exhausted and now don’t know how I’m going to make it through the week, lol. I met so many phenomenal ladies this weekend and I learned SO much. I didn’t even know that this whole blogging world even existed until a couple of months prior to starting my blog and I for sure had no idea that there were such wonderful, inspirational ladies out there with great stories. I am so grateful that I found the blogging world and had the opportunity to meet all of the wonderful women I did this weekend.
Now, I had my camera with me, but let’s be realistic I took maybe one picture with that and 500,000 with my phone. So, today we get the Instagram feed from this weekend at Texas Style Council 2013.
Below are my business cards that I had printed specifically for the conference and I think they are the cutest ever if I don’t say so myself.
Friday night was the clothing swap sponsored by Lulu’s. Everyone brought 2 gently used items of clothing and Lulu’s laced the entire place with 200 brand new Lulu’s pieces as well! I was so pumped when I found a brand new neon yellow skirt and a blue polka dot dress from them, both in my size. It was meant to be:)
I met some really sweet new blog friends the first night, and all of them lived in Austin which made them even cooler! Yay for new blog friends AND people I can see in real life too!
Our view from the 17th floor. I live in such a beautiful city, I’m so lucky!
Saturday I wore my blue polka dot dress from the swap, my favorite bow bag, and of course, in Texas style, my cowboy boots:) I love this dress and cannot believe that I was lucky enough to get it for free!
Saturday night was the prom. It was so much fun! This was my pretty prom dress. Always remember: You can never be overdressed or over educated.
My BFF, Chelsea, came with me to prom. We had so much fun going around to all of the booths and checking out their products, entering contests, and taking pictures.
Blog swag bags! We got some really cute free stuff. A skirt for me and a dress for Chelsea…not to mention free food, drinks, snacks, scarves, keychains, etc.
Look who I ran in to! Bethany from Perfectly Coutured and Meghan from Everyday Fashion and Finance! Such sweet girls and Meghan is from Michigan, which is where I moved from!
Sunday’s outfit consisted of my F21 yellow dress that I accidentally shrunk in length. That’s ok though….I just used my DIY skirt extender underneath and it was the perfect length! I also wore my $8 Target wedges and topped it all off with a braided top knot!
It was just such a great weekend and I’m not going to lie I am going through some mild blog world withdrawals knowing I won’t be able to talk about blogging with people all day long now. I left the conference on Sunday feeling super motivated and really inspired to make my blog as awesome as possible, so let’s hope that translates here:)
Until tomorrow….
