Austin bloggers meet-up!

Shirt - thrifted
Shorts - '80s Levis, thrifted
Shoes - vintage, thrifted
Bag - vintage, thrifted at Goodwill a couple of days ago. And thank goodness! I was getting tired of carting the same bag around.

Last night's get-together of Austin bloggers was lovely! And not even dampened by the torrential rain that decided to drench us all five minutes before we arrived. LOML lent me his umbrella, luckily, or I would have arrived looking like a damp paper tissue. With heels on. Within seconds of walking in to Annie's, however, I was warm and dry and completely at home. Everyone was so welcoming and warm - I got the chance to chat to some lovely ladies, like Joanna, Grechen (who organises these gatherings), Diya, Cathy, Joyce, Jeannie, Sarah and Maureen. I'm looking forward to getting to know these ladies better, and to meeting the others at the next Ladies Who Lunch/Brunch/Happy Hour. Ooh, and I was also photographed by the lovely lady behind Austin Street Style (it's over here), which launched recently. I'm so glad that Austin has a street style blog, because there are some truly inspiring people round here. Please excuse my expression in the photo - Zoolander has 'Blue Steel', I have 'Awkward Smirk.'

Of course, I forgot to take a single photograph - I was too busy talking (and occasionally introducing myself to the same person twice - sorry, Joyce!). I'll see if I can poach some in a sinister manner from some of the other ladies if they post them later on. Evil laughter.

This afternoon we're off to get our Social Security Numbers, which seem to be The Most Important Numbers Ever and possibly have magical powers. Wish us luck.
