I’ve been totally drawn to tropical palm leaf prints for the past few months, so when I spotted this dress at the thrift store last fall, I just new it would play a starring role in my wardrobe this year. (See the last time I styled it up for fall here.) Probably doesn’t qualify as “typical” conference-speaking attire, but that’s one of the many things I love about the blog world… they’ve accepted my quirky dressing with open arms.
Did you get a chance to see what I wore to the other two conferences I was a part of earlier this year? I moderated an Independent Fashion Bloggers panel in these gorgeous palazzo pants and then spoke about Fashion Blogging 101 at Altitude Design Summit in a ice-skating-inspired skirt and some snazzy legwear.
What do you think the folks at the Patagonia Outerwear conference (across the way from us at Alt) thought? I’ll give you a hint: To say they were amused is huge understatement. ;)

Your make-up is always FLAWLESS! Tutorial, please!
PS Love the palms – hello, summer!
That purple stone cocktail ring is gorgeous! And I love the “Gidget Goes Hawaiian” touch of the palm print to a professional ensemble ;)
I love the dress. And that tree makes you look like you are on a tropical island.
