Big Changes and Pencil Skirts

If you follow me on twitter (@AKeeleyWhite) or if we're friends on Facebook, then you might have seen that I put in my 2 weeks notice at my job. Today is officially my last day and I'm really excited about the next chapter in my career! There are so many positive things to come from switching jobs and it's going to be so amazing. In between my old job and new job I'm going to be taking a break for a week and a half to clear my mind and go into my new job feeling refreshed and well rested. It's going to be so nice getting to relax! (I'll still be blogging during this time).

With my new job, I'll have to dress up more than I have to now so I've been doing some online shopping. The black pencil skirt is such a classic piece for work, but I'm also loving the fun other options. Which pencil skirt is your favorite?

I'll be taking Memorial Day off from blogging, so I'll be back on Tuesday! I hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend!

The Perfect Summer Dress

This is the perfect summer dress! The colors are bright and the dress is very light weight. I have a feeling I'll be wearing this dress over and over again this summer (especially to the beach music festivals on Thursdays). Do you have the perfect summer dress?

Dress: Clothes Hound | Shoes: Kohls

Attending a Blog Conference

Dress: Target | Jacket: Old Navy (another cargo jacket here) | Necklace: BaubleBar (statement necklace option) | Bag: Belk (exact tote here)

Attending a blog conference is something I've been wanting to do for a long time! I went to Bloggy Boot Camp with Ashley this past Saturday, and even though I didn't meet any other fashion bloggers I'm glad I went. 

I got to learn about social media and the things I should be doing, SEO which I was clueless about before, blog design and improvements bloggers can make, Google +, and how to make an image go viral. The day was jam packed with information and we also had some opportunities to network. If you're thinking about attending a blogging conference I highly recommend it!

Here are some things I suggest if you go to a conference: bring tons of business cards, don't feel like you need to bring your laptop and DSLR (pen and paper and your iPhone are easier to transport around), talk to as many people as possible, go to any parties the conference holds (that's something I wish I actually did).

Have you been to a blog conference before?

Blue Maxi

This is the first maxi dress I ever bought, and since then I haven't looked back. I have a maxi dress obsession, and I love the fact that they come in petite sizes at LOFT. This was the perfect weekend outfit for chasing around the pup who seriously won't stop growing. She's already over 50 pounds and is 10 months old! She's too cute.

I'll be in Charlotte this weekend to attend my first ever blog conference! I'm really excited and nervous at the same time. I'd love to hear any advice if you've been to a conference before.

Jacket: Kohl's (similar)

Maxi: Loft (similar)

Sandals: Target

Necklace: Vestique (love this anthro necklace)

Neon and Studs

I wore this outfit last weekend when the hubs and I went to lunch. He gave me these flats for my birthday and I'm obsessed with them. They are so comfortable and the studs make them so fun! I wear them all the time so it's surprising I haven't shown them on the blog yet. Do you have any fun flats?
