Blissdom Blogging Conference– What I’m packing
January 18th, 2010
Or what I think I’m packing…
Blissdom 2010 will be my first blogging conference and I am really looking forward to meeting so many amazing writers IN REAL LIFE!
And, truth be told, I must confess that I am also looking forward to the motivation to look like a grown up for a few days in a row.
Because here is what I am wearing right now, as I type:
I know a lot of ladies are concerned about what to wear and how not to look like an idiot. But, really ladies… we are all in that some boat. I doubt any of us have stylists picking out our every wardrobe piece making sure we look perfect all the time. And unless you REALLY make a statement, everyone is going to be so worried about what they look like themselves to scrutinize your ensemble.
But if it will make you feel better, and if you have any suggestions for me, I present
The Blissdom 2010 Wardrobe Packing Roundup
Post on your own blogs what you think you might be packing, ask for input and link back up here so we can get to know each other and stop being so nervous about what to bring.
So… what am I bringing?
Here’s what I have planned right now:
Most likely for the airplane:
(Note the easy-to-remove shoes for the security line. Follow this for more tips on sailing through security.)
Another ensemble for casual comfort.. or to be jazzed up by the super-fun shoes:
(I’m hoping to score some scarf how-to’s from Jen of Balancing Beauty and Bedlam while there.)
Maybe for Thursday:
For the conference days:
(Do you think my pink plaid skirt outfit is too dressy?)
For Saturday’s Harry Connick, Jr. cocktail party and concert:
(I’m not sure if I’ll wear the sweater or not, but I loved the idea when I saw it on Musings of a Housewife.)
And for Saturday morning’s Weight Watchers walk:
(Because I’m a lifetime Weight Watchers member 
)
So… what about you? What do you think? And what do you think you might be wearing?
Please do tell and do link up.
And then check out my post on strategies for overcoming shyness at Blissdom, or any situation where you feel like you don’t know anyone and want to make a good impression. It’s tough to enter a room filled with people you don’t know. I’ll give you some survival tips to take you from scared to scintillating. Or at least not so scared.
But back to that wardrobe… Please be sure to link to your post and not your home page so we can find your post easily. And please be sure to link to this post on your own blog so everyone can see just what you are talking about.
Thanks for joining in the fun… See ya soon!

Love the outfits. BUT – you look like you are a size ZERO. I only wish I could have dainty stuff like that to wear. I guess I need to start packing so I’ll know what I’m wearing, hu?
i love your black dress! i have NOTHING like that to wear on the dressy night. i’ve got everything else covered. see you there. maybe i’ll recognize your outfits.
Oh, I love the way you laid things out! I need to do that to see if I have everything I need for BlissDom! Sure would be better than guessing…
Thanks for the idea!
BTW, I have boots and pants just like the ones in your pic. Totally wearing them to BD!
Thanks! My husband bought that for me all on his own.
Bet something will materialize for you between now and then… see ya soon!

Thanks for the tips! This will be my first time so I’m soaking up all these posts! And yes, I think you should go for the pink plaid skirt…too cute!
I am in love with the pink plaid!! It is so cute, you pretty much have to wear it:)
Amy
Awesome outfits! You’re going to look so fabulous. I love the way that you set out all of your outfits for the pictures.

You are SO on top of your game! I’ll be 4+ months preggo and my sweet mom is sending me some extra spending $$ b/c she knew I’d be needing to look cute for my lovely pudgy stage!
I love all your outfits! And I think the plaid skirt is adorable!! You’ll look great!!
I love this post! I have been wondering what to wear, and you gave me some ideas. I am going to have to wait until the last minute to see what I can fit into. My maternity wardrobe is not the biggest. Thanks for the pics! I hope to meet you there.
So cute!
I still don’t know what I’m packing. Too much going on here, but I’d rather be busy than not.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Sooo, I posted. I thought I’d let you know.
See you soon!
