What I would wear to Bloggy Bootcamp

Stacy — Sun, 02 May 2010 01:35:45 +0000

I had a wonderful opportunity to help Cindy from Skip to My Lou get wardrobe ready for Bloggy Bootcamp. It was a pretty big deal to me since Skip to My Lou is one of the first sites I started following and I adore Cindy. It was also a lot of fun because I had the chance to live vicariously through her since I just couldn’t justify a blogging excursion this year.

Our shapes were quite different; I’m an apple, she’s a pear but we found some fantastic pieces in her existing wardrobe (nothing like saving $$$ and using what you already have). Still, you know I had to create a few looks anyways … so, if I were going to Bloggy Bootcamp, you’d see me wearing these awesome looks.

Outfit 1 – Blogger Casual – It’s cool, modern, and most importantly comfortable.
Photographer Jacket – Boden $65
Pink Top – Anthropologie $48 (SOLD OUT)
Steel Grey Chinos – Land’s End $34.50 (ON SALE!!)
Blushing Bright Hoops – Anthropologie $61 (SOLD OUT)

Outfit 2: Work it Girl – Professional, Polished yet comfy (noticing a trend?)
Black & White Top – Banana Republic $40 (SOLD OUT)
Multi Row Necklace – White House | Black Market $30 (SOLD OUT)
Black Pants – Use a pair you already own and save some $$

Outfit 3: Do-It-All Look – This look can go anywhere, anytime – Dinner, Conference, Date, you name it
Sweet Pea Royal Blue Top – Nordstrom $58
Black Pants – Again any pair will do

Outfit 4: Lovely Lady – Feminine, Fashionable, Comfortable …
Blue Paisley Dress – Land’s End $79.50
Navy Cardigan – J. Crew $70 (ON SALE!!)
Green Necklace – J.C. Penney $14

Like what you see here? Or what an wardrobe consultation of your very own? Go ahead, email me … It’s FREE!!

Update: I just saw there is a Bloggy Bootcamp coming to Austin!! Guess I’ll be needing these outfits after all
