Last night the folks at Charming Charlie’s were kind enough to invite our DFW Blogger/BlogHer group out to their store for a special shopping and mingling event. I always enjoy seeing other DFW bloggers, and missed those who couldn’t make it! Those who were there and I talked to, as I recall, were Burb Moms, Vanessa from Crazy Says What, Marjorie from My Inner French Girl, Bobbi from When Did I Go From Kid to Grown Up?, and of course, Jes from Chirky, our fearless organizer! I might be forgetting someone….let me know if I did!
Charming Charlie’s is actually a rather large accessories and apparel store located at Preston and Park in Plano (they have other locations in other cities as well). I usually get kind of intimidated by accessories but theirs are arranged by color and theme, so I just wanted to hang out in the green section all day! They even have some really cute clothes, which I really wanted to buy, but then had to remind myself that I am a weird shape right now, and I have no idea what my shape will be post-baby. I hope I can remember to go back and check out the dresses after the baby!
I have not worn a watch in over 10 years but I found this one that looks like a bracelet and I really like it!
I also got a lovely necklace that I am hoping will brighten up a few very plain maternity tee shirts when I want to wear them to work or something:
So, it was great to see everyone, and I hope you all have a great time at BlogHer 2009 this weekend! I wish I was attending this year, but will be waiting to hear you all blog about it!! I will be there next year!!
I like the necklace with the top you had on last night, it was good to see you.
Oh, J, you should change that line to “boob shot,” just for the SEO possibilities. 😉
Love the watch and necklace!!! I was just thinking that green is totally your color.
Great to see everyone, too! Can you believe how fast the time went? And I didn’t even have any wine.
Salut,

I love the Charming Charlies party. I found some fantastic pieces myself. It was great to see you again. I hope I’m on some sort of list to be included in the next Sip-n-Swap and Charming Charlies and any other party you’d like to throw.
I’m loving that necklace and what a fun watch!
