Conference Dressing: Day One

I was lucky enough to be asked by my company to attend our annual general conference held this year in Saskatoon. I've been working there for less than two months so I knew this meant I was doing something right.

For the days leading up to the conference I checked the weather network hourly - in order to help myself pack smart and efficiently. When I left Ottawa I thought I had it all figured out.

Mother Nature clearly didn't like this; so, she decided to change the 30C weather that was promised to 12C windy, rainy weather. Needless to say I was not prepared for my petite prairie adventure.

However, I made the most of it.


Day One


The most important day. This would be the first time I would be meeting the President and Board of Directors, so I had to look my business casual best.

Because I was expecting mid-summer type weather, I had a lot of sundresses, so for the first day I settled on my newly acquired silk dress from Banana Republic.

To accomodate for the near arctic weather that Saskatoon was presenting me, I decided to accessorize with a cardigan (you will soon note they are some of my favourite pieces).

Feeling great and with coffee in hand and I was ready to go.

Little did I know I'd have to wear a bib all weekend. Staff badges make the worst accessories.
