Meeting in Prints
Date: November 9, 2010
Ensemble message: Today I had to drive to Connecticut to meet with one of my client groups, so there was zero time for pictures. Luckily I had this outfit left over from last week! On this particular day, I had an off-site meeting to attend and help facilitate. Knowing the culture of the Day Job, I would bet that most people would be in jeans while others in khakis and a relaxed shirt. But, I purposely chose to wear a dress instead of dressing like everyone else.
Why would I make this decision? Well, I knew that the audience was made up of all managers and above… no one at my level. Also, besides the co-op helping me out, I knew that I would be one of the youngest in the room (plus I look younger than I am). Maybe I’m a little too aware of titles and age, but dressing up just a bit made me feel professional and comfortable. Notice that I went for a more laid back dress vs. a blazer and pencil skirt… while I wanted to look nice, I didn’t want to come off as uptight. Also, since I was facilitating, I choose a knit dress and small heels for easy movement.
When attending off-site meetings or conferences, what do you wear??
