I just went shopping the other day, and I got a bunch of clothes, but I was wondering what other people are wearing for professional and relaxed professional. For professional, I have some button-down blouses and nice dress pants and a blazer. (The pants and blazer are both black). Then for relaxed professional I have some nice skirts, polo shirts, plain t-shirts, and cords. What do you think?

Oh, and what about purses? Are you bringing one, how big is it going to be, how nice is it, etc. Thanks!

I'm bringing a really big purse that my grandma knitted for me. It's not uber fancy or anything, but it will hold all my stuff.

Tania jsut about everything you mentioned is what I am bringing too. Glad to know someone else has a blazer, I feel so old in it. I haven't thought about the purse, mainly because It said we need a bookbag, so I thought we would be carrying those, but I don't know......

well for pro i've got two suit things...then some nice skirts and shirts....for relaxed pro...i have like kakhi pants and navy cropps with nice polos and tees....still have to go shopping for more stuff...yikes!

For pro, I've got this nice blazer and three skirts plus a couple of "blouses," I guess. I'll figure it out when I get there. Relaxed pro? I guess I'll just keep the skirts and wear polos or something .. idk. I haven't packed yet. x_o

As for a bag .. I'm trying to get my friends to make me a messenger bag (they're very fashion-oriented so they make bags and such) by Saturday (even though I've asked for it since May :P) and .. we'll see how that goes. :P If not, my hands are always open. I'll probably bring my handbag, though, because I have to have something when I go somewhere, esp. if I don't have pockets.

For proffesional I am playing it safe and wearing bussiness suits. I have 2 skirt suits and 2 pant suits then I'll probally just mix and match um. For relaxed prof. I am just ditching the jacket.

okay i feel like i packed way too much stuff ... are you guys bringing a lot of casual clothes i def did

i packed soo many casual because it didnt really say how many we needed. im also staying late for another week so i have a lot. im doing the same as bloo. im ditching the jackets for relaxed. i dont really like them. they make me look like a footballl player. lol!

oo by the way i am going to boston july 3-12th ... anyone else?

Since some of my clothes i'll be wearing twice I was thinking about washing them before i wear them again. Is anyone else doing laundery too?

yes I am definately going to be doing laundry. I am bringing a couple of pant suits and nice button down shirts than for relaxed I will wear skirts, polo's and such. Hopefully I will have enough!

yeah i am also planning on doing laundry

haha. i was planning on doing laundry as well. lol. i have everything that im going to wear, but i still need to get a book bag! do any of u know where i can find one?! hehe, im soo excited! only 2 more days!

i think you can just bring a normal school backpack, i'm bringing mine but i'm hoping to just be able to use my purse (its pretty big, like, i can fit a waterbottle and notebook in there). 2 days!

hey thanks meagan k. lol. ill prob just do that then and save myself the trouble of going and getting a book bag. hey, do any of u know if we are supposed to bring our luggage to the hotel or just bring it w/ us to the place where we sign in/ first go?

I think that they will probably tell us what to do with it, but aren't we staying in dorm rooms?
I don't know sorry
I am going to bring a backpack and a large purse too, that can fit my notebook inside(hopefully)

oh, i went to the FAQ's and it says where each forum is staying and the ppl that r going to san fransisco(me) are staying in the Doubletree Hotel Berkeley Marina. muggle89, which forum site r u going to?

I'm going to san fran too, but i went to FAQ's earlier too and saw that thing, and told some people, who said that in the packet it says we are staying in the clark kerr dorms at berkeley, and in something we got a long time ago it says clark kerr too, so I'm thinking they made a mistake online and did one from last year or something, because if it was wrong in the packet they would have made sure everyone knew it was a mistake(then again to fix it they would have to have caught the mistake) I don't know....
