I pinned this image from Madewell the other day as some style inspiration. Any outfit that helps me wear my orange cords is a great one in my book.

Then when I decided to go to the Utah blogger meet and greet on Wednesday night, and was searching through my closet for something to wear, I remembered this outfit. Perfect. A fun, but simple outfit. I wanted to be comfortable at this event, and not stand out too much, but look like I had made an effort, but not over-do it with an over-the-top outfit. Yes, I over-think everything.
button up: target (altered), orange cords: anthropologie, white skinny belt: cozy, boots: target, bracelets: gift from Philip
I added boots, a skinny belt, and some gold bangles, and loved how the outfit turned out. The event was so much fun too. I went with Leanne and Kayla, and met several other bloggers whose blogs I’d been reading for a while. Meeting the delightful Amy of Amy Day To Day was definitely my favorite part of the meet and greet. Afterward, Leanne, and Kayla and I sat and talked in the car for a while (while they fed their babies) and then hit up Arby’s for a late dinner. It felt like high school and college days with girlfriends again. So fun.

I love love love madewell. Just found your blog the other day via pinterest and I am loving it!
I wish I could have gone to that meet-up! Most of my favorite bloggers, you included, are in Utah! Oh well, I'll just have to live vicariously through your post. And your outfit is fantastic – so chic and simple.
I used to live by Amy before we moved from Utah. I had no idea she had her own fashion blog. What a cool event. Wishing I didn't live so far away 🙁
I love how this outfit came out too! You look great! I love those cords!
that outfit is to die for!! i seriously love it.
Such a good night. And as usual, you looked adorable. Thanks for sharing the pics!
Oh my gosh, you are just so cute! I love that you wore the boots with the outfit. And the meet up looks like so much fun! I agree with a previous commenter, that a lot of my fave blogs are in Utah. Bummer for me!
Agreed with the above – so many of my faves are in Utah. The meet-up looks so fun!

Adorable outfit, Merrick!! Love your orange skinnies. Audrey over at Putting Me Together had a guest blogger (enjoyed your guest blog there yesterday, too) that remixed pink skinny jeans. I'm inspired by you lovely ladies to go get me some colored jeggings! 🙂

I love the way its really simple with the plain shirt and trousers but yet looks so different and awesome 🙂 Looks like such a fun meet up- why do I live in England?! No one has meet ups here 🙁
I think you look great! The boots look really cute with the orange. I over think my outfits all the time. Glad you had fun!

ummmm…everyone needs some orange cords. I love mine. Lets ditch our families for one Saturday morning and hit NPS.
So much fun going with you two! Your pants are adorable and I'm slightly envious at how well you rock them.
Aw this looks like so much fun! And you looked adorable – I would have totally over thought my outfit as well 🙂
