Final Day of Blissdom. Rosa’s Closet #Giveaway

It’s the last day of Blissdom conference in Nashville. Scott Stratten from @unmarketing just gave a really fabulous closing keynote. I’ve really enjoyed learning from those who are so successful in social media.

As much as I loved yesterday’s Rosa’s closet outfit, today’s just rocks. It’s so me.  Have you stopped into her store yet?  I’m really curious to hear what treasures you found.

The herringbone dress is resale.  The jacket is new, and it was only $40 because it was 50% off.  It’s such a versatile piece. I’ll be able to wear it with anything!  The boots and jewelry are my own.  I could have added brightly colored tights for something extra fun.  (Click photos to enlarge.)
