Today, I met Allie!

Today, I finally met Allie from My Wardrobe Today and What Every Woman Needs in Her Wardrobe.  It was kind of like a blind date, but not really, since we've seen each other's faces on our respective blogs.  I actually was a bit nervous about it all and made sure I picked out a cute outfit and put on nice make-up.  Allie is as fun, fashionable, and interesting as she seems on her blogs and I'm really happy to have met her.  We've pledged to get together again sometime before the end of the summer.
