I plan on wearing pants and long sleeves at confrence but what do I bring for jackets? How cold will it be? I have long leather coats, a dressy thinner lined rain coat, heavy ski jacket or tweed coats. What would you recommend I bring to wear when going outside? TIA!
 
Dress for winter! coat, hat, gloves, etc. a pr of nice insulated boots.
 
It should be freezing cold and I hate cold weather but I live in a part of Idaho that always gets the coldest go figure. I can't believe we only have 17 days till we go.
 
I live in Colorado. Plan for very cold weather.
 
Definitely NOT the time to dress cute! Although I will try very hard!
 
snowboots, warm jacket, scarf, hat, all the winter essentials...
As we say here in Colorado, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes."
It could be any kind of weather... but I would bet on snow.
I've lived in Colorado all my life.
 
Would you recommend cuddle duds or any kind of long underwear? Where is the Hyatt in reference to the conference center? Will we just cross the street or is there a covered walkway from the Hyatt to the conference center? Any information would be appreciated...

Yipeee, I got some new boots and winter coat for Denver! Countin down the days!
 
I'm confused too Heather. We were in Golden (just outside Denver) a few weeks ago and it was brutal cold! It snowed too. I'm good with how to dress for being outside - it's just how to stay warm while outside and how to stay comfortable while inside that I don't know what to do. I have a great warm coat, but I'm sure I'm lacking in the shoe area. When we were in Colorado I was nice and warm in my coat, but from my thighs to my toes I was cold....we were also playing in the snow which I know I won't be doing at Leadership.

Also, anyone planning to wear jeans? I was thinking about wearing them on the last day (nice ones of course) since I'll be leaving for the airport directly afterward. I was talking to a sister director and she told me that she's seen lot's of people wearing them at Leadership on the last day....what do ya'll think?
 
I would love to wear jeans last day. I am one pair of pants short for the trip.
Linda, you may want to get warm socks and leg warmers. Sounds dorky but they make a HUGE difference. I live in the frozen north :)

I was planning on wearing some slacks on the last day (actually all 3 days) but nice new jeans would be better! :)
 
I need to go shopping I only have jeans(I wear them to work so there in good condition) that reach my ankles. Being only 5'2 I have a hard time finding pants that dont go over my toes. I'll bring my pretty snow boots and my long johns
 
I'm looking at wearing my new black jeans on the last day, with black dress boots, and a black dress top. I'm going straight to the airport. I think it will look very nice. Professional casual- that's what I wear on Fridays at work.

I'm 5'3" and have the same problem. It seems like if they don't have lengths on jeans they are made for someone who is 5'8"! Then if I try to find jeans that are short, regular or long, I'm between a short and regular. I have found that Vanity has jeans in inches for the length. I will only get jeans there from now on.

As for dress pants I have a wonderful MIL who has been hemming all mine! Either that or try to find a seamstress, they can usually hem pants for a decent price. And it's well worth it!

Wow Linda. I'm feeling tall! I'm 5'1 1/4. Fashion Bug has a great new jean that are made for my height. They are right to my ankle where they need to be. I love them.
 
no no no, you all are makin me feel tall... 5'5
 
Wow, guess I'm a giant at 5'7"!!!! (Never thought of myself that way before!!) But see, I need to be like 6'7" and then I wouldn't be overweight!!!! :D
 
Funny Andrea! I said I'm tall at 5'1 1/4 but not skinny. I need to be 5'7 to thin out. Hee Hee. I am working on it though.

That is soooo funny! Because I pictured that as well Linda! I am 5'8 1/2" and thought that Linda would be around my height or there abouts. It is so wild how we develop mental pics so often.
