It's very rare that I wear all black. With so many colorful pieces out there, I almost forget black is an option. Adding layers in different textures and fabrics make the solid color a little more interesting! This silk vest has been in my wardrobe for years as has this dress. Both get minimal wear but they worked quite well together.

On a random side note, I watch the "so-bad-it's-good" show Mistresses and this necklace I'm wearing was on the show last week! I love when I see something of mine on TV! Have you ever experienced this? Or am I the only nerd who gets a kick out of this?

This weekend I was invited to the Midwest Style Bloggers brunch at Quay. Naturally, when a bunch of Chicago style bloggers are together in a room, there is endless chatting about fashion, shopping and of course our fabulous city.

I had such a blast meeting other girls who have the same passion for blogging as I do. Some I had seen around Instagram and their blogs before, but most were new to me. Two of them (Peggy and April) were teachers like myself, which was refreshing to hear.

I learned so much from hearing what everyone had to say about how they run their blogs and how they find time for it all. I also learned how grateful I should be for my husband and Amy being such awesome supporters of Hot Pink Style by being my photographers. Lots of these talented gals use tripods! Props to them for making it happen however possible!

All in all, it was a great eperience with great company, tasty food and amazing goodie bags! I look forward to the next event with these newfound friends! Thanks again Midwest Style Bloggers!
