Earlier this month, I spoke on an Altitude Summit panel proffering a 90 minute Blogger’s MBA with two of the keenest, kindest girls ever to add a three letter acronym to their names: Camille Whiting of Friday We’re in Love and Emily Crider of Hudson & Emily
Upon recovering from my public speaking induced nausea, I fisted a stack of business cards and prepared to gawk at pretty shoes.
If I didn’t know better, I would have suspected a flash mob fashion show. Each outfit was visual poetry, distinctly unique, potent with signature style, calling card and personal brand strategy of the wearer.
And as aforementioned, I am an MBA, so I made a signature style flow chart, because that’s what nerds do when they are inspired.

This is just the greatest! I always struggle defining + labeling my style and you nailed it…I will SO be checking out your other style posts. Thanks so much for including me Reachel!! xx
LOVE THIS POST! Thank you for including me. =)
Love this! You sure do know how to instill confidence in women. AND you (and Camille) were the best ever to speak with!!!
Women are more inclined to pass on tittle-tattle to bond with friends and build a closer relationship with colleagues but men are a different story altogether.
LOVE this Reachel!!! Thanks for including me in the round-up! I DEFINITELY need to read your post on signature style. THANK YOU so much for the color draping, and I’m SO GLAD we got to meet at Alt!
xx,
Sam
Reachel, YOU ARE GOOD! You nailed my personal style. I mix it up but bohemian is a very (very) accurate description. I loved seeing all these gorgeous ladies again on your post. You sure know how to make a girl feel pretty. Thanks for including me, I’m honored, truly. x
I loved your best looks of 2014. You have such a unique look!
