Ok so am I the only goofy one who actually sits down and makes a list of the clothes I have that would be suitable for conf. and organises(sp???) them to make sure I get everything right before I pack?
I also wanted to pick up a few new things at a great sale fashion bug was having yesterday and I wanted to make sure I would have things that actually went together, not just thinggs I liked???


PS: Now that I have some nice Jewlry(again sp?:o ) from my show I need to coordinate that as well! Whats the best way to pack jewlry?
 
I figure I'm the strange one who won't even think about what to pack until the Saturday before I leave so I don't wear what I need on Sunday to church. I also am probably not the one to give advice about how to pack jewelry because I put it in small ziploc bags or I wear it. If I still have the boxes the jewelry came in I'd put it in those. Good luck!
 
Paulette, you can roll necklaces and bracelets in tissue paper to keep them from tangling. If you have a spare cosmetics bag, those are usually just the right size to pack jewelry in.
 
Well, I won't be packing my Spanx.

Nope - you won't catch me in Spandex.

LOL! Thanks Linda! Although I've never thought of myself as Normal... :rolleyes:

BTW I think we have our 1st 2 conf. classes together.
 
I'm trying to symplify. The first year I brought 2 or 3 choices for each day. The second year I downsized, but still brought stuff I never wore. This year I will be wearing my logo shirt with capris on the day 1 and 3 then a print shirt and capris on day 2. I'm bringing khaki colored capris and black capris. God help me if I spill something on them (which I more than likely will). I refuse to take more!!
 
It's just a short cab ride (or a good stretch of the legs) to State Street and places like Carson Pririe Scott. :D

I've already started my list because I'll keep changing it until it is actually time to pack! I write down EVERYTHING I need to take and then even take a list with me to make sure I don't forget anything when I leave the hotel... yep, I'm a nerd!

Oh good. I need to find my list, I already forgot what I registered for!
 
I'm a list maker. I write down everything--

  • What I'm wearing each day (complete with any jewelry, accessories, special undergarments, etc.)
  • All my toiletries
  • Everything else (including camera, Cheffer button, feather boa, snacks, etc.)

My list is pretty much complete. I'm starting to gather things together already.
 
I just have the list in my head. Strangely, it's the one thing it can hold onto...probably b/c they are faves and things that actually still "fit". I've lost 35 pounds (only 20 to my goal weight!). I'll bring mostly skirts b/c they fit better than my smaller size pants/capris (that are getting baggy...whoohoo!). I won't go shop for more b/c while it's more fun now, it's getting expensive. Skirts can just shift down a bit :).

I only bring what I will wear with maybe one extra top. Last time I brought a chicken out dress in case I didn't have the nerve to wear my fancy (no not prom fancy but more than I'm used to).

I will make a full list of everything to bring though...otherwise I swear I'll forget my keys!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best clothing items to pack for a Pampered Chef conference?

When packing for a Pampered Chef conference, consider versatile clothing items that can be mixed and matched. Essential pieces include comfortable blouses, tailored pants or skirts, a blazer for professional settings, and a pair of stylish yet comfortable shoes. Don't forget to include a lightweight jacket for varying temperatures and accessories to elevate your outfits.

How can I maximize space in my suitcase when packing for a conference?

To maximize space in your suitcase, roll your clothes instead of folding them, as this can save space and reduce wrinkles. Use packing cubes to organize items and keep your suitcase tidy. Additionally, wear your bulkiest items, like jackets or boots, during travel to save room in your luggage.

Should I pack extra outfits for networking events at the conference?

Yes, it's a good idea to pack extra outfits for networking events. Having a couple of options allows you to adapt to different occasions and ensures you feel confident in your appearance. Aim for at least one additional outfit that is slightly dressier than your everyday conference attire.

What accessories should I bring to complement my conference wardrobe?

Accessories can enhance your conference wardrobe significantly. Consider packing statement jewelry, a versatile handbag, and a scarf that can add color or style to multiple outfits. Don't forget practical items like a portable phone charger and a notebook for taking notes during sessions.

How can I ensure my conference wardrobe is comfortable for long days?

To ensure comfort during long days at the conference, choose clothing made from breathable fabrics that allow for movement. Opt for shoes that provide support, as you'll likely be on your feet a lot. Additionally, consider layering your outfits to adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day.
