I wanted to wear these shoes the moment I bought them! So the next day I decided to pair them with my Carven skirt and a matching Zara tee. I think it's a pretty good combination BUT I just don't like the look of this skirt when I wear it in flats. I think it looks so much better with heels.

Shirt: Zara, Skirt: Carven (Net-a-Porter), Flats: Vince (DSW), Sunglasses: Gucci

Here's my last post from Nashville. The convention center had an Alice and Wonderland theme. It was very cool, huge flowers and other Alice-looking pieces all throughout the property. they even had characters walking around like at Disney. I just had to take photos with some of the huge lighted flowers. I had wanted to wear this combination for a few months but had to wait for it to be warm enough for such little clothing.

The second night of the conference ended with the "Ball at the Wall," aka a Game of Thrones dance, ha ha.  I brought my Edun printed dress because I thought it had a Wildling vibe. Unfortunately it was already dark by the time we got ready for the party so the pictures are a little blurry. I should have taken them with my phone instead of my tiny camera.

Last week I was in Nashville for my friend's Game of Thrones convention. I had a pretty easy job (since I had done my real work - coding the website - before the convention.) I just helped carry around camera equipment and watched the film crew work.  I slacked a bit and only took 3 sets of outfit photos. Here's the first.

The convention was held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center and boy is it BIG!  I definitely got lost a few times on my first day.

It's the blog debut of my Gucci sunglasses from Italy!! Sadly it's been so rainy since I got home that I've only been able to wear them a few times. But they're sure to get tons of wear over the next few years so I'm not worried.  It's also the Mickey bag's first time on the blog!  I primarily bought it to wear on my trips to Disney but knew I would bring it out in my regular activities too. It was the perfect match to go with this top and shoes.

I was pretty good this month and (almost) only bought stuff while I was on vacation in Florida. Surprise, surprise, it's all Disney! I bought a super cute sweatshirt that has a fuzzy Mickey on it and then a Mickey ring matching earrings (I bought February even though I was born in October, haha.) I used advertising money for the jewelry.

Then I found another amazing deal at DSW when I was out with my mom. Some super cool Vince flats. They were another 80% off clearance find so I saved over $250! I had actually tried them on a month or two earlier but they were only 30% off then.

Happy Thursday! Today I'm headed to Nashville for Con of Thrones, a Game of Thrones convention that one of my friends created. (Fun fact: I did the programming for the website.) I'm driving the FOURTEEN HOURS with two of my friends, hopefully we don't go stir crazy in the car! I'll be working when it's not my turn to drive. That's the good (and bad) thing about freelancing, you can really do it from anywhere.
