We made it to Friday and to my final post about the Thrive Blog Conference. My blog is primarily fashion and style, so I feel like I need to put a bit of thought into what I am wearing to a blog conference. I want to be sure my outfit reflects my personal style and blog accurately. This is actually pretty easy as most of the clothes in my closet have been worn on the blog or on my Instagram at some point. I do still have a few outfits you haven’t seen like this Lilly Pulitzer dress. It’s several years old, so I linked some of Lilly’s current dresses that I love and that would work with this look in the details above.

I thought I would share a few style tips for what to wear to a blog conference for any of you who may have one coming up. First, wear something you feel comfortable in. If I am not 100% feeling my outfit, I think it shows in my attitude. I want to love my outfit, and I want it to fit perfect so that I can easily move around and sit comfortably. Two, check out past conference pictures for inspiration. Every conference is different and has a different attire level. Thrive is a bit more casual, so jeans and a cute top would totally work. When I attended The Blog Societies conference, all the attendees were dressed up a little bit more in nice day dresses. Check out the conference’s website or get on Instagram and search the conference hashtag to see what people wore the previous year. Third, bring a jacket or sweater. Conferences can be cold, so make sure to bring a jacket that works with your outfit. And last, wear something memorable. It doesn’t have to be the whole outfit, maybe a cute pair of shoes, a bright color, or statement jewelry. You meet tons of people at conferences, and sometimes I may not remember someone’s name, but I will remember the outfit. When people scroll back through the Instagram tagged photos, they may see your cute shoes or that bright color and reconnect with you after the conference.

I think the most important is to be you and be comfy in your outfit. Remember, you will be sitting for large portions of time too. By the way, these pictures were taken by the gorgeous pool at the conference hotel. The pool area was gorgeous, and I was a little bummed it was cold that weekend. I would have loved to get in some sun and a cocktail by the pool!

SHOP THE LOOK

MORE FAVES FROM THE SHOPBOP SALE
Saturday is the last day to shop the Shopbop Spring Sale! If you have never shopped this site, it houses many designer brands like Tory Burch, Rebecca Minkoff, and Stuart Weitzman. I love using this sale to buy wardrobe staple like jeans from Paige and AG. You have to spend at least $250 to get a discount. I’m going to let you in on my secret for scoring a bigger discount in these buy more, save more sales. PHONE A FRIEND! My best friend and I put our orders together, so we could get a bigger discount. So if you don’t think you can meet the minimum or you are oh so close to the next discount range, text that friend who loves designer brands as much as you. After you place the order, you can head back into your order to see the price of each item which will include the individual tax for each item. This makes it super easy to see exactly how much each person owes.

I can’t wait for my purchases to arrive! I purchased these jeans and this top. I really wanted these shoes, but they were out of my size. My bestie purchased all shoes, now you see why we are such good friends. 🙂 She scored some great shoes for spring and summer. I’m a little jealous of these and these are perfect for chasing her almost 2 year old around the park. Now that you know my little sale shopping secret, call that friend and get shopping before this sale ends and check out more of my fave sale items below.
