I excel in the art of being incredibly awkward. I'm going to call it quirky because I have learned to embrace rather than deny my personality. Which basically means I'm the girl laying her giant camera on the stairs and posing - actually, more comfortably in that situation than in the event with people. I had a great opportunity to attend another event in central Pennsylvania hosted by Susquehanna Style. The previous event I had my friend to hang off of, but now that she has a great position with them, I had to be on my own. So mostly I focused on taking photos, trying to eat food, and mostly, texting my husband because obviously that makes me being a loner better. Eventually I did meet a new friend and became more comfortable, but I am always so initially petrified of people.

And I switched back to Blogger comments. I'm tired of Disqus putting some of my favorite girls into spam, and last night Jessica of the Midwest Muse let me know it had been giving her Captchas. If you ever see a Captcha pop up (which you really shouldn't -I test on my account and an anonymous account to try and make sure!) tweet me at @kitkathrn so I can figure out why that's happening!
You have great style! Loved your post :)

youre petrified of people?!?! i would have NEVER guessed that from your fantastic blog.
ReplyDeleteand that outfit. can you just come pick out all of mine? i need some tips lol
Your hubs has fab taste! Loving this dress. And it's okay to be a loner and not super social...that's what makes us all unique and the world go round. If we were all the same, life would be soooooo boring and miserable! ;) Sounds like a really fun event!!!

I'm EXACTLY like you...I am incredibly socially awkward at events and usually just wander around smiling aimlessly. Anyway, you look adorable! I love the story of the dress :)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on the difficulty in approaching new people. Usually I find myself going straight to the bar to calm my nerves.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!

Just found your blog....looks like such a fun time! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to both being petrified of people AND my husband having better women's fashion sense that myself.
ReplyDeleteLoved your photos, dress, and accessories AND I'm glad you don't let your initial lonerism (new word!) prevent you from attending events in the first place :)
Yey for the mention :D Can't wait to get the food goodies.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress - really cute especially with that gorgeous shot of the red from the belt!
This dress is so good on you and I love the setting. Your photos have been extra amazing lately. I wish I had your skills.
ReplyDeleteAlso I wish we were in the same place because that's how I act at events too! I'm the worst at socializing.
Your hubby has great style! This dress looks so cute on you. I love the red belt too. I'm actually painfully shy in certain social situations and I admire your bravery going out there by yourself :)

Loving the dots! And really love all of your ulra girly fem poses. I can't do that! It just looks silly on me, lol! But you look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way in situations like that!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, great outfit. I love your style. :)
ReplyDeletesecond, I totally know what you mean about rockin' the awkward. I am so shy and can barely talk to people when I'm out in public. I'm not much for parties because I have no clue how to act, haha.

Your man has good taste :] That dress is so darn pretty on you!! I am quite possibly the most awkward person, haha, so I know how it is. Good for you getting out and about though. I would have been too anxious probably to even go. It looks like it was a fun time.
ReplyDeleteLove your dress and your boldness. I am super shy, I don't know if I could take photos in such a public place. I am currently trying to get the strength to even do outfit photos in my own backyard! Hehe
ReplyDeleteXo,

You were a perfectly dressed "loner", and, believe it or not, I actually like doing lots of things alone! It doesn't bother me at all. I also prefer to take my own outfit photos as well. I don't like bother people. But I do have to become better at it. If I could only get better with using my DSLR! -Jessica L
ReplyDeleteI love your dress and also the location of this outfit post. You look beautiful.

Oh what a nice dress, I love myself a good polkadot :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's really brave to go to an event by yourself! Yay! Go You! I'm a pretty social person but big groups of new people terrify me :) haha!
ReplyDeleteAnd that dress looks great on you!
Looking so lovely!
ReplyDeleteyou look fabulous! great dress!

This looks like an awesome event! I love your dress too. Glad to see your back to blogger comments. I feel like they are so much easier than disqus.
ReplyDelete"texting my husband because obviously that makes me being a loner better" ---I do that too! haha it does make it better. :)
ReplyDelete"I excel in the art of being incredibly awkward. I'm going to call it quirky because I have learned to embrace rather than deny my personality" ----I'm there with you on that one too!
Jason did good on picking this dress. It's lovely on you! He has a good eye.
You looked beautiful.

You look beautiful. I'm not much for attending events alone either.
ReplyDeleteI would most definitely say that I am an incredibly socially awkward person when I am alone. I feel so crazy trying to take outfit photos in my backyard, becoming immensely embarrassed if a neighbor or two passes by and catches me. so, good for you for venturing out and being brave! when I do something alone I just have to think to myself "i'm not the only one who's alone here." :) You look absolutely gorgeous and Jason has a great eye for style! ;)

I would be the same exact way at an event like this. I always text too to look busy, but sometimes I wish that wasn't even an option so I would be forced to go outside my comfort zone! Your dress is beautiful and good for you making a new friend :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely day!

I like seeing you in this outfit. Looks fun and I've always thought polka dots are just fun!! You look gorgeous!!

Ah, I have been wanting to make the switch back too, but every time I try, i can't get my disqus comments to sync with my blogger comments and I can't risk losing it all! Bah! I will try it again.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your dress, and this seems like a great event! At least you go to events alone! I'm terrified of it for some reason. I'm incredibly awkward/weird/quiet, etc and I just am terrified of talking to people for the most part! I'm glad that you found a friend at least! I need to work on my social skills, and venture out alone more! I don't know why it's so scary to be alone!
I am totally with you on the awkward thing. That's why I hide behind the internet. I'm glad you found a friend though! And you're going to be uncomfortable, at least you looked awesome! Your husband has the best taste.
ReplyDeleteI love love love polka dot :)
ReplyDeleteamazing post!!

Me too! Me too! Ahhhh last year I went to the new York blogged picnic and it just about killed me.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about initially being petrified by people....ha! I swear it's a blogger thing! But seriously,
ReplyDeletelove these photos - I think you've mastered the whole photos in front of strangers bit. Not to mention - great outfit choice. Your hubs has a keen eye for style ;) Completely loving on your little accessories too!
One of these days I want to make it to one of these events!

I love how you write your post dear, very entertaining and never fail to put a smile on my face. Love this dress, I think your hubby pick the right one. It fits you perfectly. The prints are quirky and whimsical and love the red belt. Thank you for the lovely comments dear! You made my day =)
