It seriously take a village to help me get dressed. Jessica convinced me to track this dress down when I posted about it on Instagram.
Then Shanna pointed me in the direction of this fabulous necklace that I dreamed of wearing as a collar.
And finally my seamstress (hi mom) tailed my dress so that it was perfectly made to my measure!

| Ok, I tried it. I wanted to be a "fashion blogger" & do things that bloggers do. But not putting my arms in my sleeve holes still felt completely awkward. I'll try anything once & this was my attempt... see ya later cape jacket. |
I have to admit, I was kind of nervous about my first big blogging meet-up at the Southern Blog Society Brunch down in Atlanta this past Sunday & wearing an outfit that I loved made my worries melt a tiny bit.
But once I walked into the room & met all the beautiful & talented women, people with passions like mine, who are going out & getting it done, there were no nerves, just smiles, hugs, shared stories, swapped business cards & cheers over mimosas!
Turns out getting dressed & blogging is a lot more fun when it involves a community.
This past weekend, my "blog friends" became real friends, & that is the truth.
If you are looking for a few new blogging buddies, I promise that these ladies will light up your blog roll:
