Earlier this month, something pretty amazing happened.
Michelle, who took my 2 year anniversary photos, reached out and asked me if I was interested in participating in a fashion event with her and super stylish fashion blogger Sara.
Michelle takes a lot of photos in Omaha and while she was taking mine, we talked about how I love dressing up and looking pretty, but that I always have questions about fit and color and practicality of different items. I always want my outfits and the decision process behind them to be real and relatable.
While Michelle was taking Sara’s photos one day, Sara was talking with her about how she loves helping women express themselves through their fashion choices, and how she loves being a styling source for women to help them feel their most beautiful and confident selves.
Michelle also knew of a fashion boutique in town that is all about practical, beautiful designs inspired by four confident, stylish women. She reached out to Four Sisters Boutique and explained an idea she had for a fun event.
And in what seemed like the blink of an eye, Girls Night Omaha was born! Surrounded by beautiful fashions while munching on hors d’oeuvres and sipping wine, I’ll be talking with Sara about the common questions and concerns I have when shopping and styling myself and she’ll be sharing her best fashion advice and styling tips. Michelle will be photographing it all and Four Sisters Boutique will be offering giveaways and opening up their store for a private night of shopping for the ladies of Omaha. It is going to be an absolutely fabulous night.
It is amazing what happens when a group of girl bosses get together. The event was planned, a Facebook page was created, and a digital RSVP signup went live. (The event is free, but private with an RSVP required for space-capacity purposes.) And in less than a week, the 100 event spots filled up, along with the wait-list spots.
This post was supposed to be encouraging you guys to sign-up and showing you how you’d be entered to win adorable giveaways like this one if you do. But as we’re at capacity, I’m instead going to say I really, really hope you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and that you already saw my social media promotions, signed up, and will be able to come to Girls Night Omaha on August 26th from 6-8pm! I can’t wait to see you!
Questions of the Day: Did you get your ticket?! For ladies not in Omaha, does your area do fun events like this? What are questions and/or concerns you have when shopping? I always am looking for clothes that won’t wash me out and that will flatter my pear shape.

Leslee @ Her Happy Balance says
The Philly area does lots of these events at different venues but I’ve never had the chance to go! The Four Sisters boutique is gorgeous, I would love to shop there. One of my concerns when shopping is finding pants that fit my waist while also fitting my muscular thighs. I can’t stand when pants gap in the back. I also like to know whether or not shops offer free tailoring services or if they would be willing to order an item for me if they didn’t have my size in stock.
Erin says
Oh I love when shops do free tailoring! That is always a huge selling point to me!!
April R @Uncookie Cutter says
Wow, what a great idea and fun night it’ll be! I love your styling. I need someone to tell me how to dress!
Erin says
Aww thanks April! I’m so excited for this event!!
Krysten says

Erin says

Jamie | The Kitchenarium says
What a great idea! I *never* know how to style myself –I am in some serious need of help! I hope another opportunity like this comes up so I can attend.
Erin says
Aww thanks Jamie! I’m so excited for this event!! I hope it goes well so more can happen!
Winter says
This is an absolutely fabulous sounding event! You guys are inspiring me to do something like that where I live in California. I think there’s so many opportunities for women to get together and inspire one another through common interests I think this would be a great idea for the women that I know.
Erin says
You should totally set something like this up Winter!! I bet it would be a big success!
Emily, Our house now a home says
That sounds like such a fun time! You ladies looked amazing!
Erin says
Aw thanks Emily! I’m so excited for the event!!
Miss Polkadot says
That’s such an awesome idea! Like you, I usually can’t figure out what suits me, always need a friend with me for some guidance because I don’t like asking the shop assistants. An event like this here would take away the discomfort of admitting you don’t know your style and get some professional advice.
Erin says
I’m SO excited but also nervous for this event! I hope it goes well!
Madelaine says
What a fun event and a wonderful idea to do at my own town.
Erin says
Yes! You should totally set an event like this up Madelaine!!
Gunjan says
So pretty!
Erin says
Thanks Gunjan!!
Sara says
What a great idea! I wish I lived close, I would so be there! You look fab and can’t wait to hear how the night went!
Erin says
Aww thank you Sara!! I will definitely make sure to tell you all about it!
Ginny says
I bet you girls will have so much fun!
Erin says
Thanks Ginny! I’m nervous but really excited at the same time!
