On My Vintage Swap Find:
After scoring this skirt at the TxSCC clothing swap I just could not wait to wear it. I held out for barely 36 hours before giving in to show it off during our day of workshops. Paired, but of course, with my favorite Effie wedge boots, this skirt was the perfect way to represent my love for vintage style. With so much ‘in real life’ time I nearly forgot to take photos all together. Fortunately I managed to capture a few snapshots with some of the lovely ladies I met, posted in this Facebook album if you’d like to have a look.
I also want to take a minute to mention some of the ladies (and gent) I had the pleasure of spending time with last weekend: Jessie, Katy, Kyla, Amy, Kelsey, Lisa, Amanda, Emily, Merl, Suze, Erin, Elissa, Linda, Jennine, Pam, Jeanette, Kendi (and her hubby Bryan), Jentine, Jen, Melissa, Punky, Kileen, Laurel and Indiana. You’re all even more stunning and wonderful in real life!

Love that unique skirt, i liked that you let it shine through by keeping other parts of your outfit simple.
Oh you girls with your swap finds only making me feel bad about missing it! :P You look great!
i didn’t know that was a vintage skirt! i loved it and the outfit that you created around it. i kinda wish we weren’t so late to the swap now!
I agree w Amanda. Seeing that skirt again makes me want to smack us for showing up to the swap so late. You look completely amazing in it! It’s the perfect color palate and silhouette for you.
You’re even more stunning and wonderful in real life, too, though I wasn’t sure it was possible Meeting you and getting to hole punch, talk serious “change the world” talk and ignore Frances was 100 times better than I would’ve expected!!
That was indeed a great find! I’ve said it a hundred times already, but I had the best time ever with you!!!! Can’t wait for September!!!! ;)
You look adorable in the skirt! So glad you got it!
Darling girl, I cannot even tell you what a sparkly ray of sunshine you are IRL! I am so impressed and inspired by your positivity (and your uber-networking skillz!) and am so thankful to have gotten such QT with you and your adorable husband this weekend. Me (and Drew – and Amy, I’m sure) cannot wait to do it all over again next month in New Orleans when we come to co-host the swap with you on your home turf. Good luck with NOLA Fashion Week – I can’t wait to see all your inevitably adorable outfit pics! – and stay golden. xoxo Meliss
You’re bringing that skirt to the april swap right? DIBS!!!
The skirt is amazing on you! I am still dreaming about our wonderful weekend together. Thanks for the link love — I seriously miss you!!! :)
What a great swap find!! You paired it perfectly with what you brought to the conference too. So impressed!
And it was so amazing to meet you too!

I’m so glad someone else is a big enough dork that she couldn’t wait to wear her swap find until she got home and I’m so glad that dork is beautiful, wonderful you. <3
I love that skirt. The pattern is very unique. Great swap find!
