You want to know what to wear to a blog conference? The answer is quite shocking…
…you should wear what you are comfortable in, and in a way that you want to present yourself.
********
I saw a huge range of fashion at Type A this past weekend – from shorts, jeans, and leggings to sundresses and skirts. From fancy to casual. And truthfully it all worked.
I am a dress girl – even at a motorcycle rally on a Sunday…so guess what I’m comfortable wearing and guess what I wore all weekend….dresses! It works for me.
So here’s what I wore to Type A Parent Conference:
On the plane:
Sweater from Anthropologie
Black tank top from H&M
Wrap skirt from Anthropologie
Belt thrifted
Coral Abagale Wedges from Fossil purchased at Karma
Out to Dinner with Brica
I just changed my skirt to my favorite Kayla gauze skirt from Anthropologie because it was wickedly hot in Charlotte.
Coral belt from H&M
Friday Conference sessions
I wore the bicycle dress from Anthropologie that I love
Belt from H&M
Wedges from Fossil that I wore on the flight
Friday night 80′s Just Dance party sponsored by The Clever Girls and Ubisoft. I was on an 80′s dance team and decided to reclaim my 1987 style and hair.

Anyway – shirts that our team leader painted for us
Socks, earrings, and Converse from Target
Legwarmers from Matilda Jane Clothing
Scrunchie from Esther’s hair accessory bin(don’t tell her)
..and wait for it – Neon Green fringe skort from Justice. Oh yes I did wear a skirt from Justice. Please don’t tell on me. (Also don’t tell Eloise that the next time she sasses me that I will wear this puppy in front of her friends. Oh yeah!)
By the way – our team rocked it and we came in second place and I still can move like Jagger or something like that.
Saturday Conference sessions
Cupcake Dress from Matilda Jane Clothing
Belt from Anthropologie
Gold wedges from Nordstrom Rack
Sunday Conference Sessions(and home on the plane)
Spearmint Dress from Matilda Jane Clothing
Gold wedges from Nordstrom Rack

So what do you wear to blog conferences? Please don’t tell me neon green skirts from Justice. (but you can totally borrow mine)
Linking up with What I Wore Wednesday.
Hee that 80′s outfit killed me!!
Love your style, you sassy gorgeous lady. I LOVE the bicycle dress. Also, the cupcake dress. And the green one.
Can I come live in your wardrobe?

You can come live with me anytime!
I think it’s hilarious that your skirt is from Justice for SOOOO many reasons. ;p
And I wear skirts and dresses too. You just cannot beat teh comfort when sitting a lot, etc.
That bicycle dress is just so frakin’ cute!!
Elaine recently posted..You need some Fresh Produce!
I know – I kind of want to wear that Justice skirt every time I’m out with Eloise just to embarrass her. lol
Dresses on you are stunning. Your 80′s outfit does bring back memories:) Congrats on the winning dance:)
I love that bicycle dress!!! And the cupcake dress is amazing too. You always look super cute on the two times that I have seen you in the flesh:)
Looks lik you had fun at TypeA!

Love that bicycle dress. And the mint green one, too. Hope you had a great time in the Tarheel State.

The original 80s photo nearly sent coffee from my nose – just beautiful. The anthropology sweater is TOO cute! If I ever go to a blog conference, I’m totally referencing this. Also – I bought a skirt two days ago at old navy and thought of you as I did so. I am such a jeans girl – but I wore the skirt yesterday and you know what? It was pretty fab!
Jessica recently posted..Crunchy hair and other crunchy things.
Oh I am so glad you wore a skirt. I owe you an email! I got it when I was at TypeA and I’m so far behind. xo
Love the bicycle and cupcake dresses!
I’ve never been to a blog conference, but if/when I do go, I would probably also wear flowy dresses or skirts just because they’re comfortable, flattering, and pretty.
Kristin @ What She Said recently posted..Thanks for the Mammaries
I love your style so much! I wore dresses/skirts to my one conference. This makes me want to go to another

You’re adorable.
My fashion is going to live vicariously through you.
I have been loving dresses this summer (which is quite new for me), but I must say you rock your clothes way better than I ever could.
Hope you had a good time!

My garsh but you are adorable.
WOuld love to stop over at Matilda’s but It would scream “GIVE IT UP LADY” if I even tried to be cute like that.
You can pull it off so beautifully.
oh I loved all your outfits (even the green skirt!!!)
I am dress, skirt kind of girl, I went to BBC and I wore dressy clothes to all the events, for BlogHer I am wearing lots and lots of skirts (or dresses)…and heels/wedges. I just feel better dressed up.
you looked so GOOD. WOW.

I cannot wait to see your rocking shoes at BlogHer! xoxo
Your 80s look rocked. And don’t worry I won’t tell anyone that you wear Justice
I LOVE your saturday and sunday dresses!! so cute!!
Katie recently posted..Dear Lauren,
I LOVE that last one. For the next conference I attend I would like a detailed style board from you. Thanks.
I loved your cupcake dress. It was my favorite! Great meeting you.
Love the Matilda Jane dresses! Super cute. Off to check out their website.
Visiting from The Pleated Poppy!
How awesome is it that you can actually fit into something they sell at Justice. Not many mommas could say that.
Jennifer recently posted..Transferring
Oh, you are so cute! You even make 80′s style look good!!!
LOVE all the dresses.

I LOVE that bicycle dress.
I’m far more comfortable in skirts and dresses than in pants – I’m 5’2″ and can seldom find a pair that fit me well.
I like that you emphasize comfort. It makes everything else so much easier.
PS Are you going to BlogHer? WHAT ARE WE WEARING?
Suniverse recently posted..It’s all about the boobies, bitches
Yes – BlogHer baby!!! (Don’t tell anyone but I’ll probably wear these same dresses…shhhh)
I love that you got to work a Justice skirt into your wardrobe! I just showed my girls and they are loving it! They are both so into the 80s right now. I’ve even crimped their hair a few times.
You look great in everything. You have such amazing taste in clothing.
Kristen recently posted..Are Smiles Contagious?
You looked beautiful every day and Im so glad I saw all those outfits in person! My personal favorite is the Spearmint dress, but the bicycle one is a close second. And I love that you wore a Justice skirt
You looked amazing for 80s night and your cheerleader jump was BAD ASS. You are a hot, sassy mama. Love you!!!
Frelle recently posted..Welcome Home
THis is so helpful. I am going to BLogher12 in NYC and have been mulling over my wardrobe already. Thanks!! Very, very cute outfits.
Oh I hope to see you at BlogHer!
Dammit. Now I want to wear dresses everywhere. And I also want to be tall and skinny. Let’s make that happen.
Fadra recently posted..Pretend You Were There
I was thinking of wearing dresses to blogher . . . though I think I’m sticking with the suit/no tie approach. I think that fits me, even if I’m one to always wear shorts over pants.
And I love that bicycle dress on you. You look really good in it.
John recently posted..Where I have the bright idea to take my toddlers camping
I cannot wait to see you at BlogHer!
I got really scared for a moment before I realized that 80s outfit was for a party! Whew! That was a close one. Feel free to stop by my blog- I’d love to have you join in on my weekly link-up “This Week the Trend”- also, for the month of July I’m offering free ad space! Happy Friday!

Cute cute cute!
I love them all, but I think the green dress is my fave. Not the green neon, by the way.
I thought of you the other day when I bought a pair of capri pants in dark cranberry red. Tracy would never approve.
