Since 2011, my blogging conference fashion style has always incorporated Dansko shoes. This past weekend was no different, so I have to give a big thank you to Dansko Footwear for sending me a rockin’ pair of sandals to wear this spring.
FInding your blogging conference style depends on a lot of factors. Your personality, the time of year, the location of the conference and even the type of conference. I can assure you there are probably hundreds of posts written on conference fashion and style.
Some people will tell you to wear what is comfortable. I say wear what you feel comfortable in. Find something that looks great and makes you feel good. So if that’s a favorite sweater and jeans, fantastic. If it’s a pretty dress and your favorite jacket that works too.
I’m a jeans girl. There is no question. But lately I’ve been trying to step up my game a little bit. A friend turned me onto ModCloth last summer and I’ll be the first to tell you I know have a ModCloth dress problem. In all fairness, this dress that I wore in San Diego is CUTE right? Since it was a little chilly I paired it with a cardi from Target(which of course you really can’t see) and my favorite corduroy jacket from Prana. Also almost hidden from view is a leather crossbody clutch that I just love.
For me though, no great outfit is complete without a kickass pair of shoes. Often, that’s a pair of RED shoes. I bought my first pair of Dansko clogs in 2009. I admit this brand of shoes dominates my footwear collection. I have boots, sandals, clogs, mules, you name it. They are one of the few pairs of shoes that I can slip on and they fit and feel like I’ve been wearing them for years, even if I haven’t.
The latest addition to my show collection is the Felicia Sandal. This versatile sandal features a ankle strap and wedge heel – it’s a perfect pairing to nearly anything – jeans, dresses, shorts… You’d never know I’m rocking a 3 1/2″ heel would you? The contoured cork footbed is crazy comfortable – not unlike the rest of the Dansko shoes I own.
In addition to feeling really great this weekend in a fun dress and fabulous shoes, my friend Danielle from Simmworks Family took these photos of me so I could show them off. Thanks Danielle!
One more thing, I’ll be giving away a pair of Dansko shoes from their spring collection during the Spring Fashionista Giveaway Event, which starts on March 6! There are over 100 participating blogs and lots of amazing FASHION prizes, so you won’t want to miss it!

What is a “little chilly” in San Diego, like 55? 😛
Love the shoes and love the toenail paint too!
TheMaven
For them, yes. I’m a Seattle girl though so I am all about layers!
Mindy Grant
I love the daisy print, so cute! That dress looks really comfortable!
Suburban Style Challenge
Love the look! You’re so put together without looking like you’re uncomfortable. Great layers are essential for conferences… one room might be boiling hot, and the next may be like walking into an igloo! I’ll have to remember this post as I plan my looks for Go Blog Social next month!
Dede
I have always wanted to try Dansko shoes. I’m a teacher, on my feet all day long — these look so very comfortable!
TheMaven
Dede you MUST try a pair! I’d be shocked if you didn’t find something that suited your style.
Jenna Wood
Having comfortable shoes at a conference is a must, and Dansko is great at comfort and style. I just love that beautiful red color and the detailing of those wedges!
Jenn @comebackmomma
Super cute. I love those shoes! I agree that comfortable shoes are key to having a good conference experience.
Carla
The shoes look and sound fab. No I didn’t notice how high they were until you mentioned it. My favorite kind of heels…comfy and sky high.
SHELLEY R ZUREK
I just love the wedge on that heel. Super cool with the mix of colors too. Once again, you have ROCKED your Danskos.
Jenine
I’m wondering if your review is fortuitous. I was JUST looking up Dansko shoes because I’m so tired of my feet hurting so much if I’m up and walking around for a large part of the day. I googled, “most comfortable shoes”, and one of the names mentioned was Dansko. I would love to try these shoes out to see if they are as comfortable as everyone says they are!
Margaret Smith
These shoes are so pretty and I also love the blue nail color.
Cynthia C

Wait? You’re hiding a purse from us? We need to see how it goes with the shoes.
I can’t believe those are over 3 inch heels! They look so comfy!

Those red shoes look lovely! They’d be great for the summer!

Danskos are my absolute favorites- I have a job standing all day and they are so great. I just love these, since they’re different than my usual clogs.

Danskos are some of my favorite shoes. I wear mine all winter long, I should get a pair of sandals for the summer!
Carolann Leibenguth
I work in Occupational Health and being on my feet all day it is important to have a shoe that is slip resistant and comfortable. Dansko delivers comfort, safety, and lets face in FASHION only brand of work shoe for me. Love your look in the photo super cute 🙂

Susan P.
I agree with you when you wrote, ” I say wear what you feel comfortable in. Find something that looks great and makes you feel good.” I have to have comfortable shoes and love it when they are also fashionable.
Susan Smith
Danskos are my absolute favorites.I use to have a job standing all day and they are so comf ortable and comes in so may great colors and prints.
Jennifer Miller
These are so cute and look like they would work with anything in my closet.

Ali Goff
Those look so comfortable and cute.

TheMaven
I may have three pairs of red patent shoes. No wait, four.
Brandi Price
I love Love LOVE my Danskos! Most comfy shoes I own and these that you have on are SUPER cute too!
ellen beck
You look great! I too love Dansko. I got a pair years ago (on a huge clearance) and thought how expensive they were…. but it really isnt the case at all . Danskos are so well made and look great for so long you never can wear them out. They are a wonderful brand!
Gale
I absolutely love those shoes. I love the cutaway pattern. May have to get a pair even if I don’t win.
Gale
PS: Where are you at? That’s a gorgeous backdrop. 🙂
TheMaven
Gale, at the Bahia Resort in San Diego!
Dorothy Teel
Dansko makes such pretty shoes and I love your red cut outs the Felicia Sandal by Dansko shoes, I have been to San Diego and you are right it gets cool in evenings especially if you are down by the bay or ocean, but it is beautiful area. Thank you for sharing your love of fashion and shoes with us.
Toni Marie Caravello Feimer
I have been wearing Dansko for years now and love their shoes. I have a pair of clogs I got brand new at a yard sale for yes a dollar. Steal of the day … I even offered the guy more because I knew how much they were worth and he said just take them for the dollar. LOL Oh well. My fav shoes are those clogs.
Toni Marie Caravello Feimer
I am really a jeans and Dansko’s kinda girl with a Bohemian style top and I am good to go. For places that frown on jeans, I wear black yoga pants. Comfort is the main thing for me with some flair and style. I did gain weight with my child and have not shed all of it yet, so… comfort all the way.
Lisa R
Those are a nice pair, I must have overlooked them on their site

Jeanine
That dress is supercute and I love how you paired it up with the jacket. I;ll have to take your word up for it about the cardi, lol! I love the sandals- are they mail order only?
Dandi D
I really like the jacket–it looks great!
Dede
I don’t get to go to blogging conferences but sometimes I travel to education conferences. It’s always nice to have travel-worthy clothes to take along!
