Skippy Says: New Friends (OOTD)

Last week was a big one for me-- I had my first ever blog friend meet up. Does it make me a dork to admit that was the highlight of my week? Oh well-- you probably knew that already.

When Megan was in town for the holidays, I made good on my threats and kidnapped her to go thrifting with me. Quite honestly, I was sort of surprised she was willing to meet up, especially after I admitted that I bite. Yes, you read that right. I emailed her telling her I was  a bit nervous, and she sweetly replied that she was too, but that I shouldn't worry because she doesn't bite. And then something possessed me to admit to her that I do. You see, I have this problem with being a little too honest sometimes. And sometimes, no, often, I show my affection by little nibbles. In fact, one of my friend's families refers to me as "the biter." And for some unknown reason, I felt the need to share this with her. Thankfully, Megan was a total trooper and was willing to meet up anyway. We had such a wonderful afternoon together, and I can't wait for her to come back so we can do it again.

Yes, I'm a midget
We're being lions. Isn't it obvious? 
In case you can't see, that sign says mini skirts rock. True story.

  1. How cool that you got to meet up! I've always wanted a blog friend. I'd feel weird asking my "normal" friends to take pictures of me! That skirt is to die for.

  10. Cute outfit! I love your downtown photos - do you live close to there (for now) or do you head that way for your outfit posts? Scouting good photo shoot locations is difficult, but you always nail it. And meeting up with blog buddies is the best!

  12. Thanks Kim! I actually don't live too close to downtown, but my hubby works there and he takes my photos so I tend to make my way down there often. Plus, my gym is right there so then I have no excuse not to go :)

  26. I've had a good experience with meeting up with fellow bloggers. I invited two to a clothing swap I hosted a few months ago - it was fun to meet people I already felt like I knew through reading their blogs!
