What to wear?

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Just a decent pair of trousers (no jeans!), and a light but stylish blouse

I would avoid linen because of the wrinkles and polyester because of the way it can feel sticky in the heat.


Is this a one-shot deal and then back to the tees and shorts? If so, you might want to consider a thrift store - especially if its one in a more well-to-do neighborhood.

I've been checking thrift stores all summer, got lots of winter stuff, but nothing for summer.

A quick inventory of the closet reveals a gorgeous black crepe skirt with pink and coral flowers embroidered the hem... what are the chances I'll find a blouse in the perfect shade of coral to match? I wore the skirt once - for easter this past year, and the top I wore with it is a light cable knit sweater. Yes its light, but its still a sweater and a million bucks won't get me to waer it in this heat!

I'm trying to remember what I wore the last time I was on the college campus. I am fairly certain it was my Jones NY twinset (my big steal last year - a $180 twinset for $14). I look like a million bucks in it... its lightweight and is sleeveless without the outer sweater part. Ideal to wear around until I get into the meeting. But I don't want to go wearing the same thing I wore last time, which was in the dead of winter. I couldn't find parking because we had a snow storm and the plows covered all the parking spaces with mounds of snow. LOL! I can't even think about snow right now! Its too hot!

I am all about thrift stores! I'd try to hunt up a pair of khaki slacks, since it's summer black would probably be over-doing it. A nice, light button-down blouse to go with it would work too. To avoid wrinkles on the way there, you could always wear a t-shirt in the car, then find a corner in the parking lot and change your shirt before you get out of your car. I've done it lots of times! My girlfriend (pretty girly) wears slacks and either a light blouse or pull-over "nice" shirt to work, often with her nice sandals. I've got it lucky, I think. I can come to work in a bathrobe if i wanted to! hehehe I'm in a t-shirt, jeans and converse sneakers right now. I love it!

Good luck with everything, though! I'm sure whatever you decide to wear will be fine.

Is it possible to keep your presentation clothes on a hanger and change just before?
