Or I could call this “What to Wear to the rest of your Blog Trips“. Its very sad, but the clothes in my closet span from early college to maternity. Its just not a nice way to dress. My problem is that I am:
A) Cheap
and
B) Cheap
I find no value in clothing. I hate shopping for myself outside of your 90% off sale racks at Walmart and could honestly care less what I wear the majority of the time. Yes, I am the girl in the jogging pants at the grocery store, thank you very much. You would think with as prissy as I am that I would be more materialistic, but I’m not when it comes to myself.
I shudder at the thought of purchasing shoes.
Nonetheless, I did recognize that I cant show up to all of these meetings in washed out black pants and material from the late 90’s (what? Taffeta isn’t in?) so I have been (gasp!) leaving the house on occasion this week. The best part is I have been spoiling myself with some real purchases and classic materials and patterns that should stand the test of time.
Designer: BCBG (my favorite splurge)
I wish I could truly show what this dress looks like but its super dark inside the house now since its nighttime, so it doesn’t capture the beauty of the material. Ill try to get it tomorrow in the daytime for the full effect. Its quite a beautiful dress. Its not black, its a dark shimmery teal.
Designer: Jessica Simpson
I KNOW! That’s what I said too, but she has some adorable dresses in her line. Her shoes are a bit ’stripperish’, but the clothes are darling.
Designer: Atelier Collection
A coat? In July? Listen..there is never a bad time to buy a gorgeous coat that you love. Plane rides, hotel lobbys and winter will come soon enough. Who wants to spend $300 in December, when you can pocket this baby for $66 NOW!
Designer: Vertigo Paris (shirt)
You can’t see it well, but it has some nice satin detailing all around the shirt, including the belt. A classic white shirt is something everyone needs.
That’s it! Stay tuned for my next post whining about my bank account…

Oh adorable! I love what you got. Ok, off the wall question… In the background I can see your fireplace and a clock. I think I may have the same one over my fireplace! What brand is it?
Wait, WHA?! I heart all of them and that teal dress is awesome but do we have dressy events at Blogher? If so, oh, CRAP. I better get on the ball.
You look great in white, I would buy the coat..you can dress it up with a great pair of slacks and a cami,or down with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. The dress looks great also, if you go with the dress you can keep you hair and makeup simple or glam it up a bit with smokey eyes and neutral lips. Do you own a jean jacket? If so, it’s a great piece than can also be jazzed up or down depending on the look you’re after. No matter what you wear, wear it with confidence…walk into the room as if you own it and enjoy yourself!
Very cute Trish! I’ll have to catch you at the next BlogHer! Have a blast!
OMGOSH! Walking Trisha ‘Doll! Adorable!
I love it that first dress is so cute. I’m the same way when it comes to shopping for clothes for myself. I just love to get it very cheap and it has to be on sale always. I just don’t get the urge to spend on a shirt thousand bucks, don’t get it!
Love it all!
Very nice! The coat is gorgeous!
I.Love.That.Coat.
and that white top is really cute too!
Don’t know what I like better – the clothes or the poses!
I LOVE the BCBG dress. Everything else looks great on you too. I have to go shopping! I don’t have to worry about the days since I have a sponsor T I’ll be wearing, but no clue about evenings. I will use you as my good example
Ohhh….pretty! Love them all!
I’m heading out Monday looking for my BlogHer outfits….I’m a little scared as I’m a lot like you…I tend to shop the major clearance and deal with it….It’s time to upgrade though. Hope I can find some great outfits and great prices like you did.
Love the teal dress! I went shopping today, too! Got some great shoe deals at Nine West!
So cute! I love them all!! Now I want to go shopping but I don’t have a good excuse like Blogher.
You are so stylish and cute. Love the stuff!
So cute! I found Ralph Lauren jeans for 20.00! I am stoked lol
