When I started my little personal blog back in 2010, I never dreamed I would one day call myself a fashion blogger. The fact that Straight A Style exists today is such a fun blessing. My personal blog slowly evolved into what you see today reflecting my love for fashion. SAS has been around for almost a year now! I count myself lucky everyday to get to express my creative side in this way. One of the most unexpected benefits of blogging has been the other women I have gotten to know. I love seeing women do their thing and cheering each other on at the same time. I truly feel like I have friends all across the country. So when Ally of Allyson in Wonderland, an Oklahoma City blogger, was passing through Tulsa, I was thrilled to meet her for a fun coffee date. She is beautiful inside and out, and it was so fun to talk blogging and life. Her husband was kind enough to snap some fun pictures. We are bloggers after all…
It’s been such a fun blogging month for me! Emily Gemma of The Sweetest Thing hosted an event at Suite One Boutique in Tulsa (where my top is from!), and it was amazing to meet her. She is as nice in person as you would imagine. Whitney and Lindsay of The Double Take Girls, Kathryn of Around Town Babe, Monica of The Styled Wife, Britney of GlowByB (YouTube), and Cassi of The Cassi Diaries (Instagram) also attended the event. It was so fun to hang out with other Oklahoma bloggers! Seriously, I feel so fortunate for all the friendships I have through blogging.

Are you both wearing the same shades? They are really cool. Love them. Plus the coat, long, nude shaded coats are so classy. Super stuff!
Looking forward to your future posts.
Thank You

This is such a lovely post! It’s awesome that you both were able to meet. You both look so beautiful, I love both looks and that you’re twinning with the camel coats! I think meeting so many different people, who have different loves and passions, through blogging is definitely one of the most rewarding benefits of being a blogger. Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you’re having a great day so far!

How fun to have events and meet other bloggers! I think I need to join a Chicago group since it’s so close to me. It doesn’t seem like there are many meet ups in Milwaukee.
Wow! What a fun blogging month for you! It’s always so fun meeting some of the bloggers that you’ve developed online friendships with! You both look adorable!

How fun to meet other bloggers. It is such a strange world, in a sense, that we get to know all these women online – and when we meet in person we know their life story and it feels like we have been friends for years.
