Last week I told you all about how I’m heading to Vegas tomorrow.  EEK!  I can’t believe it’s tomorrow.  To say I have a lot to do is the understatement of the century…but I’m choosing not to focus on that right now.  🙂  Right now I’m focusing on more important things…like what to pack.  I have a few last minute things to pick up but for the most part…my suitcase is set.  As promised, today is the second installment of WPPI (Showit United) Fashion Friday.  Except this time it’s all about the nightlife.  And what is Vegas without the nightlife??  I mean come on.

 

I’m not totally sure what I’ll be doing…and I could very well decide all my fancy clothes are staying in the suitcase.  But just in case I’m feeling extra daring…here are some things I would like to have waiting for me.  🙂

 

Saturday night I plan to go get my country on.  Look out…

I don’t think I could ever really wear this in real life…but I am obsessed with this dress.  I’m planning on attending a retro themed party and this would just be perfect.

Something a little more casual…just in case.  With a pop of color of course.

Where to buy

 

I’m all about comfy dresses.  T-shirt dress…yes please!

Before you start calling me crazy for the leather pants…let me explain.  I have a pair of leggings that are leather on one side/regular legging material on the other…and with the right outfit they are pretty cute.  Or maybe I’m a little cray cray…it’s very possible.

And last but not least…what’s Vegas without a little bling.

Happy Fashion Friday!  I’ll be keeping you up to date on all my Vegas adventures…wish me luck!  🙂

 

Exactly one year ago, I remember sitting in front of my computer “listening” to all the Facebook hype about WPPI.  Everyone was packing and blogging and Facebook updating about what was in store.  You could cut the excitement with a knife.  I just hid in my office…jealous…envious…and sad.  So sad that I wasn’t going.  But even if I had been going…I didn’t know anyone.  I would have been wandering the halls alone…afraid to spark up random conversations.  I would have been just as jealous…sitting in my hotel room afraid to put myself out there.  Sure…I was sad I wasn’t going.  But had I been going…I would have been terrified.

 

What a difference a year makes.  I am, once again, one week away from WPPI and I am counting down the seconds.  I have met some of the most amazing people over the last year and am beyond thrilled to be spending a week in Vegas with friends.  Best friends.  People who were strangers 365 days ago and are now a huge part of my life.  And more than anything…I can’t wait for the friends I’ve yet to make.  The people who, just like me, were afraid to wander the halls alone.  People who would otherwise be sitting in their hotel rooms wishing they could put themselves out there.  People that, in one week, I can call friends.

 

As you have probably guessed…today’s Fashion Friday is all things WPPI (Showit United as I like to call it).  We have 2 Fridays until take off which means two Fridays to figure out what the heck I’m going to pack.  From what I’ve gathered (this is my first time going) my week in Vegas will be part day…part night.  The day being filled with classes and workshops and random hotel room hangouts.  And the nights will be filled with parties and dinners and random hotel room hangouts.  Either way…I plan to come prepared.  So today…it’s all about the day…

 

Hotels are cold.  Layers, layers, layers.  And a hot cup of Starbucks, of course!

I’ve been told there will be lots of walking…so flats will most definitely be happening.

Where to buy

 

Cute dresses…of course.

I have to be honest…I have a thing for green pants.  And I plan to rock some green pants in Vegas.  🙂

Where to buy

 

I would wear my cowboy boots everyday if possible…so yes.  They will be coming with me.

Where to buy

 

I’m so excited I can hardly stand it!!!  If you’re going to WPPI for the first time…and you’re terrified like I was.  Don’t be.  Call me and I’ll wander the halls with you and force you out of your hotel room.  Pinky promise.

 

Happy Fashion Friday!
