Weekend Fashion Event—WhatRUWearing Brunch Series

June 7, 2015
This past weekend I attended WhatRUWearing's Brunch Series with my fashion blogging companion/best friend Natalie Craig. WhatRUWearing is a Chicago-based fashion organization that connects individuals together nationwide through sharing style advice and inspiration via the Internet and events. Hosted at the Mile North Hotel, 166 E. Superior St., the event began the evening of June 5 and consisted of a casual mixer where fashionistas, makeup artists and video bloggers alike could meet and interact. The following morning, the organization also hosted a brunch at the hotel where Arianna Henderson, Mia Stammer and Alisha Marie spoke about their experience breaking into the blogging/vlogging sphere.

It was enlightening to meet fellow bloggers in the area. I gave style advice, made plans to collaborate and was able to share my own blogging experiences with others, making it an enriching experience as a blogger and as a journalist.

Choosing what to wear to fashion events can be challenging—the outfit must impress! But ultimately, I felt comfortable in what I chose to wear that night. I tried to keep my outfit simple and professional while also avoiding the business casual look, so check it out below and feel free to Tweet me with your thoughts!
