Michigan blogger meetup

Friday night, I hosted the Michigan Blogger Meetup! It was so exciting to have 12 girls from Michigan attending! Girls came from all over the state and we met up for the Aqualush fashion show and drinks and snacks at a club in downtown Grand Rapids. It's so amazing to see how much fashion blogging has grown - even in Michigan. I was so impressed by how kind and amazing every girl was - and how stylish everyone looked! I had so much fun and am really glad I was able to put this on!

I wore a dress I received from Mel from Idee Geniale via the Delightful Dozen! If you tune in tomorrow to our Delightful Dozen Launch party at our website, you'll be able to see how this was styled up by Mel and see a few remixing tips to go along with the dress! Tomorrow we will be posting from 8 am to 7 pm EST and there will be a post from every member and giveaways in between! I'd love if you would join us! We're super excited and have put a lot of hard work into it!

(dress - lulu*s via idee geniale - delightful dozen | heels - jessica simpson
bow-print tights and belt - urban outfitters)

I'm also giving away the same exact goodie bag I gave away at the Michigan Blogger Meetup! You just need to be a follower of Selective Potential and leave a comment on this post! Fun things from magazines to nail polish, accessories and more! I also created a quick fun little video, but the lighting was so dark, so it's hard to see. But I'm having so much fun with my new iMovie... I couldn't resist. Have a great week, everyone!

I'm so excited about the little giveaway. You look amazing by the way. The pink really compliments you. That's really neat how you did a little blogger meetup, with goodie bags and all!

Can't wait to tune into the Delightful Dozen website launch party!

That dress is adorable, and the shoes definitely give it a 70's vibe, but that could easily be turned into another generational style by changing up some accessories!!!

I'm curious about your giveaway =]. I've actually never subscribe to you but have been checking out Sydney, clothed much, kendi and your page for awhile. I'm from Cali and I'm not use to cold weathers at all (I don't own any leggings, only shorts). So your page has helped me alot with learning how to pair up tights/leggings with clothes I never thought of. Love you dress by the way. I would roll up the sleeves and add a big brown belt once th e weather gets hotter =]

I LOVE the print of the dress! Reminds me of a scarf my mom had when I was a kid. I used to sneak into her room and try it on, thinking I was a supermodel. Thanks for bringing back the memories, and your fab style too. Love the brown and floral + the unexpected tights, you look fabuloso!

I am trying to get a few people from Michigan to do a little blogger meetup right now!
It will probably be just a small one at Starbucks or in Royal Oak, but I think it is going to be loads of fun.
