I also crossed something I am very excited about off of my "30 Before 30" list #27:
meeting up with a fellow blogger in REAL life!
I had a wonderful coffee date with the adorable Jessica from DahliaLynn Lane. We realized that we had so much in common, and I am so happy that an online blogging friend, has turned into a real world one!
If you haven't check out Jessica's great blog and amazing, unique jewelry...
do yourself a favor, and head that way!

| Trying to figure out where all the mosquitos that love to eat me, are coming from... Also, see one of my Nashville flea market finds poking out of my tote? |
While chatting, Jessica and I lamented that while we love the small town vibe of Nashville, we are jealous that other larger cities have a more vibrant blogging community. It would be a dream to have a blogger meet up here in the Music City, and we are talking about starting one ourselves...
So if you are a Nashville blogger, or read other blogs based out of Nashville, please let me know in the comments so we can reach out to our fellow Nashvillians!
P.S. Today I am linking up with Molly from Still Being Molly for her #YOLOMonday series
Check out the other great entries { here }

you look fab! I love that vest. oh and wow, kudos to your first meet up with a fellow blogger. =) I just met up with a fellow blogger last month and it was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteYou look precious! Loving the vest with the dress. I think it's becoming the next big trend! ;) Thank you, Old Navy! And I wish we had more blogging events in Austin too! I have only been on one blate! Hopefully, that will change soon! Happy Monday!!

Yay for the Old Navy vest! I have last year's version and I wear it all the time--it really does go with everything. I'll have to try it with my striped dress--I love how this turned out!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that vest! Get in my closet, now :)
ReplyDeleteLove this mix, I have that vest and I can't wait to try it! A real blogger meet up sounds amazing! I will be coming to your neck of the woods in Nash this weekend for my bachelorette party!

How funny that we both had our first blogging meetup this weekend! I'm sure there's at least a few other bloggers in your area. I'm lucky because I'm so close to NYC...there's quite a bunch of bloggers over here. Your cargo vest looks so cute layered over the striped dress!

Cute outfit! I just bought that vest last week, actually, and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival! It literally goes with everything :)And you should totally start a Nashville blogger group! We did that over here just last October - put together a list of Research Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) bloggers and emailed to see who was interesting. We meet up every month or two to do something cool like a wine tasting or jewelry making event. So fun!xo Elisabethhttp://anadventureinfindingbalance.com
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute outfit! Isn't that vest the best investment? It goes with everything. We did a summer and fall remix with ours. The possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteAW I love your outfit! Glad you had fun on your blogger date!

you always look so cute in your vest!! I hardly ever wear mine (partly because it is tan and I feel like it makes me look super pale), but I need to try!
ReplyDeleteyou look absolutely precious!
ReplyDeleteI love the striped dress and the vest is awesome!

ReplyDeleteI love this vest!! It looks amazing with that dress! Can't wait to add this to my closet!

I don't want to hear about Nashville being a small town! ;)
ReplyDeleteI need to drive up there for a blogger meet-up!
Loved seeing the different ways you styled it! http://thegeekypeacock.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletePerfect! Thanks for letting me know :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha - it IS a big town (similarly sized to my home STATE of Arkansas) but it has a smaller town vibe when compared to other metro areas... Have I covered my tush enough ;) we would love to have you drive up if/when we get something together! xx
ReplyDeleteNashville blogger right here!! AMEN to that Jess! I'm still dreaming of meeting up with you one day, just waiting for life to settle down a little since school has started. Your hair is looking FAB and I'm intrigued to see that flea find on your blog soon!

I just had my first "meet a blogger" meetup a few weeks ago - I loved having someone to talk to about blogging! Plus you feel like you already know them so it's that much easier :)
ReplyDeleteI have a vest just like that and I cannot STOP wearing it! It's a problem. It goes with everything and I love it. My outfit post tomorrow is very similar to this one. Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeletelove this casual and cool

An amazing outfit Jessica! :) That vest definitely goes with everything and I've been totally doing the same lately. I'll really be digging a piece of mine and just transform it day to day :) And yay for meeting a blogging friend in real life! I met Heather from Pearls and Paws and she is such a doll ... we are supposed to be meeting up again sometime soon! I wish I lived near you so I could meet up!

That's the great thing about those vests - you CAN just about literally wear them with everything! Hope you had a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that vest! Wore something similar to that this weekend (except maternity!) Love your blog....stopping by through YOLO!!
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica, www.fringeandlace.com is an online boutique based out of Nashville, and they also have a blog. It's owned by two girls in Nashville. They would be great to reach out to, and I'm pretty sure they would know of other Nashville bloggers. I'm from Nashville, and I love it. If I ever move back there, I'll definitely join your blogger group!
ReplyDeleteMeredith
Oh please do send her my way - I will hook her up with the true Nashville honky tonk experience!
