Fall Fashion Event

It's been a long, busy, and stressful week, and today was a long day. My team held their first Fall Fashion blogger event, and they did an awesome job -- with very little help from me, besides my saying, "Sure, you can spend that money!" and "That's a good idea! Go for it!"

With a pretty small budget, they turned our boring, concrete-floored fitness room into some kind of stylish girl-club, complete with DIY'd chandeliers and scarf-wrapped pillows.

We had fancy snacks...

products for people to buy at a special discount...

and lots of sunglasses. 

There were stations set up around the room where guests could DIY a pair of sunglasses to take home, get their makeup done, do a video interview for our blogs, or do a photo shoot with our photographer. 

If I were a blogger, I would have been pretty excited. I was pretty excited anyway, but that was mostly because it's nice to see my team's hard work pay off, and they really pulled together something unique and fun. 

I did have one job, which was to turn the lights off and on for the fashion and technology slide show during our main presenter's speech. I did an excellent job, if I say so myself, though my timing was slightly off for the initial turn off. I'll work on it. 

Overall, it was fun, and I'm really proud of them. I'm not sure a year ago we could have imagined pulling together something like this. We're growing up.

I left the event about an hour in, after which I headed to the north side to meet with some people for dinner. Then I was veerrrryyyy sleepy. Super excited it's almost the weekend.
