Saturday, I packed all of my ill-fitting clothes in the back of the car & headed for a bloggy swap meet & pool party. I actually spent zero time in my swimsuit (the water was a bit cold), but I did show it off to everyone there (seriously, I love my suit this year).
Here I am unpacking my goodies. I’m the most under dressed there!
Here are all the lovely ladies who attended.
I met some really lovely women & I’m so excited to see how they end up wearing & styling my old clothes!! I found some great stuff there and I’m so excited to refashion a few things. If you want to see how I end up wearing those finds, be sure to subscribe to my fashion blog.
all of the above photos can be found here, taken by Jessica.
I had a great time eating delicious treats, getting some new duds & getting to know bloggers I’ve never met in real life. Truly, all of the things I did last weekend were a testimony of why I blog: friends & crafting.
This halter wrap dress was one of the items I scored at the swap. I love the print & the skirt part. I’m tempted to refashion it into a skirt. Sorry the photo is blurry & gross. The lighting the last couple of days has been less than desirable in the studio. You get the idea, though. I found this wrap skirt (that I wore on Sunday) there, too. I love both of these pieces, but I know for sure I would’ve completely walked past both of them in a thrift store or any store for that matter. I don’t do wraps. Well, not until now anyway.
Here’s a list of bloggers that were there:
Cotton and Curls • Wearing It On My Sleeves • Sweet Serendipity • Meet Virginia Design • Frills & Bils • Feather’s Flights • the stationery place • Life of a Passeri • Living on the Chic • Crowley Party • yours, mine & ours • Livy Love • madison avenue • brooke passion • A Day in The Life • Exhibit 221 • Harley & Jane • Snarky Drea • My Nutshell • The Sisters 4 say MORE is more…
It’s so fun to have a bunch of new pieces to brighten up my wardrobe that didn’t cost a thing! Have you participated in a swap before? I definitely want to do it again.
Lovely! Next time you hear of one of these I’d love to go! How did you manage to get up so early after Friday night though? I didn’t wake up until noon!
Love the halter dress. The colors are so perfect to transition into fall. Did I just write fall? That’s kind of a dirty word in the summer.
Annnnnd those treats make my want to eat my billionth homemade oreo of the day. But I willlll resist. Hopefully.
just coming over here from IHOD. so awesome to be able to meet up with all those bloggers… and the dress will totally make an awesome skirt!
It was so nice meeting you! And your blog rocks my socks. You do such fun stuff!
I wish I could get some Arizona bloggers together to do something like this. How did you guys decide which bloggers were coming? Did someone just reach out to a bunch of bloggers and coordinate it?

Thanks for the fashion advice!
I always have so much trouble trying to put together a look.
I see what I like and what I want online and in magazines but for some reason I can’t pull it all together when standing in my closet.
