Packing for a Girl’s Weekend

Last month I had the opportunity to attend my third-annual Haven Conference, and am still grinning ear-to-ear from all the fun! I follow more blogs than I can keep up with, and am always so inspired and awed by the creativeness that comes from the entire blogging community, so it was a real treat to immerse myself amongst them for a few days.

Packing for events can be intimidating, but I treated this as more of a girl’s weekend…since many of these bloggers have become some of my closest friends. And sure we learned tons of great tips from the talented speakers, but for me, it was mostly about meeting and spending time with girlfriends.

You guys seem to appreciate my packing and style posts, so I thought I’d share what I packed for this Home Blogger Conference, aka, Girl’s Weekend, along with a few pics from the experience.

Hi Sugarplum | Packing for a Girls Weekend

I kept it casual for the flight, but still pulled together in case we didn’t have time to change before the afternoon meet-up.

Hi Sugarplum | What to Pack for Girl's Weekend

Romper | Pendant Necklace | Wedges (similar) | Hoop Earrings

Romper | Pendant Necklace | Wedges (similar) | Hoop Earrings | Striped Bag

My Roomies | Jen & Megan

The conference is casual, but I love any opportunity to dress up a bit, so I packed mostly dresses, and used my {Day to Night} formulas to make them work for the daytime sessions and evening events. Full disclosure, I packed a lot of fun outfits, but we ended up playing hooky a few times, so they didn’t all get worn!

Striped Skirt | Pink Blouse (similar) | Black Cami Top

Pom Pom Clutch | Patent Heels

One of the cool things about hanging with other bloggers is no one looks at you funny when you take selfies or stage photoshoots! See Megan‘s pics of my outfit in this {Day to Night} post.

After several days of laughing, eating, encouraging, and girl talk….we flew home to our different corners of the country.

Watch | Hoop Earrings

I feel so lucky to be part of this generous blogger community, and especially blessed to have formed such lifelong friendships with these girls. And all thanks to the internet! Have you had any good girl-time lately? After a busy week back at school, this mama is ready for some! Happy weekend, lovebugs!

P.S….Thanks for your great response to yesterday’s {1 Bed | 4 Ways} post! The link to the $300 Loom Decor giveaway had some technical difficulties in the morning, but it’s up-and-running now…so head back over if you didn’t get a chance to enter!
