I was lucky enough to get invited as a VIP guest to Chicago Fashion Week for a college event hosted by Her Campus Media on Oct. 18. Complete with models, sponsors and goodie bags, the event was reason to dress up and break in a new pair of heels.
Even though I wasn't modeling in the show, I wanted to rock an outfit I'd be comfortable strutting down the runway in. After all, how often do you get attend Chicago Fashion Week?
Though I've been to fashion shows before, this is the first one I have attended since the inception of my blog. Seeing industry professionals, identifying styles and sporting my own outfit in a room full of fashionistas, I realized that as glamorous as the fashion world can be, it can also be a bit strenuous—especially on your feet, which is why I came prepared with a pair of back-up flats.
But by far, the best part was attending the event with Natalie Craig, my one and only fashion blogging companion and best friend.
