What are the room temperatures like in the workshop rooms for Wave 3?

[dannyzmom]

All festivities are in Building E--same building as Arie Crown--nothing on the other side.

Rooms are WARM. The only time I felt the AC blowing @ McCormick was in Career Club lunch.

When you say "festivities," are you referring to Career Club luncheon and things like that or are you talking about workshops as well? What I am getting at is...do you mean we won't be walking sixty-bazillion miles each day this year?

Exactly. EVERYTHING is in the same building--no walking across for ANYTHING.

I had my suitcase all packed and ready (I leave on Wednesday) with all my outfits figured out.
Then I went to the mall today...
There was a storewide 50% off sale at New York & Company. Plus I had a $20 off $60 coupon...now I have unpacked my garment bag and am re-configuring my outfits. ARGH.
I got this jacket and slacks set and am trying to figure out what top to wear under the jacket: http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/browse/productDetailWithPicker.jsp?FLCat=cat60162&productId=prod1120002&categoryId=cat720020&addFacet=1002:cat720020
HELP???
I don't want to look like a restaurant hostess, kwim?

It looks great Carolyn - sorry can't help you with what to wear under - I'm so not a fashionista! Have fun at Conference - I leave tomorrow

 

[raebates]

You'll look fantastic in that, Carolyn. I'd go for a pop of color--red, royal blue, emerald green. As long as you don't wear a plain, white, collared shirt you shouldn't look at all like restaurant hostess.

CUTE!! I think you look good in just about anything. So, like Rae says, anything but plain white would be great.

 

[dannyzmom]

Dangit you guys!!!
I was planning to go out today and get a simple white shell/tank like they showed in the picture with the jacket & then jazz it up with jewelry. No good? I am such a fashion disaster
Maybe I'll bring the jacket with me and browse thru a few stores like Chico's and Banana Republic and see what the fashion-forward salespeople suggest. I agree tho' - a pop of color would probably be best.

 

[raebates]

A white shell would work fine, but I think a bit of color would be even better. Of course, if you're talking about a stunning, focal-point necklace or choker, a white shell would be the way to go. At one point during NC I'll be wearing a black jacket and white shell, but I'm adding a pop of color with the PC scarf. Plus, I don't have your long, elegant neck for showing off a fantastic necklace.

Are you hitting on me, Rae? I think I like it!!
LOL
Seriously though -- I am SO bad at putting stuff together - I have necklaces but would have to bring them to the store with me when I look for tops so the salespeople can help me put it all together - LOL

I was freezing in most workshops -- you have to remember, that Deb is pregnant so she probably was warm!! LOL.....If you get cold easy, take a sweater or jacket.

do you tend to be cold or warm?

Mmmmm...good point, Michelle.
I am typically cold...so maybe I should pack a pashmina or something...

No, but i was telling The Furry Guy today what a beautiful woman you are.

I'm almost always warm, so I carry a small, collapsible fan with me wherever I go. Comes in handy.

I tend to be warm anyway, even when not pregnant.

Hideeho everyone.

I did send the room temp reports to Laurie as you read. For those in Wave 3 I would still suggest a light thin/small sweater that fits easily in your bag as my last workshop on Day 2 was FREEZING. Only that one but I had not carried my sweater b/c I thought "why bother?" and THANK GOD I had bought a fleece at the Merrill table so I wore that. Most in the room were rubbing their arms and making comments so I know it was not me (who doesn't get cold easily). Several others in my cluster stated that they had rooms that seemed like flukes that were really cold.

Perhaps you will just say "I'll suffer for the hour" but I just wanted to give you the heads up that I did find where I wish I had something.

My apologies to Wave 2 for not posting this sooner - I just got home at 945pm (EST) after my 12+hr drive from NC and never got on the web while I was there.

Wondering why I didn't take tomorrow off from work....UGH!

ENJOY WAVE 3!!!
