My First Blate ;)

Last Wednesday was a big day for me.

I had my first blate.

What's a blate you ask?

It's a "date" that you go on with a blog friend.
(I just learned that a couple of weeks ago from Shanna.)

So, who was my first blate with?

This pretty lady!

This is Alison from Get Your Pretty On!

We met, talked blog, brainstormed some ideas, ate brisket tacos, and then did a little bit of shopping at The LOFT.

It was a great first blate! ;)

So, what did I wear on my first blate?

Well....a Pinterest inspired outfit of course!

Outfit inspiration pinned, originally found here on this super cute blog!

I know everybody likes getting a good deal, 

but if you're like me, 

there's something even better than getting a good deal.... SHARING a deal!
Am I right ladies?
Well....we're going to give everybody a platform to scream things like,
"HEY PEOPLE....YOU SEE THIS AWESOME SCARF?
WELL, IT WAS $3.64!"
and
"YOU SAID YOU LIKE MY BOOTS?  WELL, I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU PAL!
THEY WERE ORIGINALLY $345, BUT I GOT THEM ON SALE FOR $70!"
My endorphins are going crazy just thinking about it.
So....get your post ready and link up with us on the 29th!
We can all oooh and ahhhhh over everybody's awesome scores!
It'll be fun!!!.
