Fashion and Swag: Off To BlogHer 2010

by Megan on August 4, 2010

So apparently the BlogHer Conferences are a bit of a fashion show (or not). It makes sense – women like to dress up for other women. I was walking around the shoe store today and with every pair of shoes I tried on, I evaluated how swoon-worthy they were, whether this would be THE pair that all the other girls would compliment.

Well, I didn’t end up with the pair that everyone would swoon over – nooooooo, I had to be blessed with really wide feet with a midget toe that keeps me from fitting into all of the swoon worthy shoes. By the time I left the store, I wanted to cut my pinky toe off.

I did end up with a pair of dress heels to wear to all the great parties – and since my big dogs wouldn’t fit into anything else, I opted for the comfort shoe – these cute little Clarks patent leather mary jane’s. For 50% of the original $100 price tag. A bargain, cute and ultimately comfortable, I think this was the right choice.

You’ll also find me in these two dresses and my favorite skirt in the who entire world – one that doesn’t require that I wear spanx – it has a built in lycra short! So comfortable my favorite item in my closet.

So now we’ve packed up the car and we’re hitting the road at the crack of dawn to meet up with Melanie and the Chevy Malibu. I’m hoping we can fit all 50 of my bags and 50 of hers into the Chevy Malibu. Cross your fingers for us!

Loving that patterned dress! Such pretty colors. Spanx are a total must. I’ll be sporting mine, too.

Cute shoes! Unfortunately, I go for comfort now. Cuteness is a low priority. Sigh.
