Fashion Show at the Southern Women’s Show RECAP | #triFABBsws

April 30, 2015·

YAY! I’m so, so, SO excited to share these images with y’all!

If you read my post from yesterday recapping the pre-show #triFABB meetup at the Southern Women’s Show, then you know today is all about our FASHION SHOW.

Seriously, when I say this fashion show was a labor of love and a dream in the making, I mean it. When I started #triFABB almost three years ago, I said, “Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had a fashion show? And wouldn’t it be awesome if the bloggers and everyday women were the models?” 

We tried to do one a few summers ago and the rain put the halt on that dream… so when the organizers of the Southern Women’s Show contacted me about partnering with them and putting together a fashion show, I knew it was such an amazing opportunity.

It ended up being A LOT of work (coordinating clothes, hair, makeup, models, accessories, programs, schedule, etc. for THREE consecutive days!!) but it was totally worth it.

Here are some images and highlights from each day! Again, MASSIVE THANK YOU to Em Grey Photography for being there every step of the way!

The programs:

So, I started off the show talking about fashion and then I took a volunteer from the audience to “critique” their outfit. It never ended up really being about their outfit (especially since my AWESOME volunteer the first day was wearing a track suit and fanny pack! haha!)… but it was all about confidence and owning the skin you’re in. Southern Women's Show - Raleigh Recap | #trifabb #trifabbsws (24)

Then we started showcasing looks. The models showcased three different “styles” – we had a “work / professional / church” look, a girl’s night / date night look, and all of the models rocked a casual, everyday look.

This is the “work / church / professional” look featuring Mary Beth, Angela, and Mia. Southern Women's Show - Raleigh Recap | #trifabb #trifabbsws (25) Southern Women's Show - Raleigh Recap | #trifabb #trifabbsws (27)

The goal of the show was to really show women that you can dress stylish no MATTER your age, size, height, etc. It’s all about looking for the right pieces to flatter YOUR BODY.Southern Women's Show - Raleigh Recap | #trifabb #trifabbsws (39) Southern Women's Show - Raleigh Recap | #trifabb #trifabbsws (40) Southern Women's Show - Raleigh Recap | #trifabb #trifabbsws (41) Southern Women's Show - Raleigh Recap | #trifabb #trifabbsws (42) Southern Women's Show - Raleigh Recap | #trifabb #trifabbsws (43)
