What to wear

[kia027]

OK mi stawt one project and mi haffi attend business meetings and yes mi haffi travel [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] & sleep away fi get there

I will be there for a week and would love some ideas of what to pack? I am thinking pantsuits with a skirt option (although I cant tell when last I wore a skirt) with shoes to match. Yet dont want to carry a big suitcase when I travel.

Also Is it still fashionable to carry the laptop in the company laptop bag or is something more stylish necessary?

Re: What to wear

Carry clothes made from wrinkle free material (not sure what this is... anything but polyester). I think alot of the gym clothing also are wrinkle free. Maybe 2 yoga pants and 2 tops should be good to go. Neutral colour pair of shoes (brown/black should be good). I figure it's bettr to go with less bottoms and more tops for easy style changes. So maybe one or two good pair of pants as well as a skirt, and maybe 4 or so blouses and maybe a blazer...if necessary. Anyway this all depends on how long your going away for.

Re: What to wear

Kia is this a business formal or casual meeting..


if its formal:

pants suit in the winter and dresses in the summer I find easiest

definitely get a stylish, light weight lap top bag...

seriously tink about the gym clothes..between the meetings, working and dinna, etc with the colleagues its really hard to make it to the gym (in addition...I'm sure you'll be chatting wid your family on the phone whenever you can)..so its very rarely worth the space the sneakers take up...

but if you must..check out Fit COuture...stylish, lightweight gym clothing [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bannana_purple.gif[/img]

shoes..argh [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img] at a minimum.. 1 dressy pair for formal meetings, 1 casual for dining, travelling etc. slippas for the room,
