what I wore to allume

There are a few things to consider while packing for a conference across the country: 1. you have to fit it all in a suitcase and 2. you have to like what you bring because there are no other options.  I packed a couple of items that were worn more than once – this helped with the limited suitcase issue. And everything was comfortable and neutral so I could mix and match should I feel the need.

There’s no surprise that everthing is either gray, white or blue … seems to be a theme in my clothing choices.  I love layers and sweaters and jeans, which make up three out of four of the outfits.  Also, a J.Crew factory store just opened in our area and I hit the jackpot with my favorite classic-style clothes that were all on sale.
