So... I am REALLY excited for this Forum, but at the same time i am REALLY nervous!
Is High Heels not allowed?
How many Bags is normal to bring?
And should you bring extra food for your room?
Also, about the book-bag we are supposed to bring around, is it o.k to bring an Abercrombie bag? Would it look o.k with Professional Dress?
And any extra stuff we should bring?

Im sorry this is a bunch of Questions but i am really nervous!
But EXCITED! Na-na

sorry i can't answer all of those lol
but i'm fairly sure high heels are allowed,
but you're going to be walking ALOT
so you probably shouldn't wear them
maybe at the end dance though
and yeah most people have been saying its a good idea to bring snacks
and someone told me that they used bags from abercrombie and such

hoped that helped some =]

High Heels are allowed, but you will be doing a lot of walking so they're not recommended.
Bags for clothes or carrying your stuff?
And if you have room pack extra food because sometimes you might get hungry at night since dinner is around 5:00.
And I would bring hangers, ipod, cellphone, and maybe playing cards.
And if your dress is strapless you need to wear a jacket over it, but if it's not you should be ok.

At the dance you do not have to wear a dress, you can wear a skirt or even pants, but the outfit has to be semi-formal. Most girls wear dresses though. Stapless dresses are fine as long as they are appropriate.

I hope the dress I'm thinking of bringing is formal enough. It's satin somthing or other. If it doesn't work then I can't really do anything about it. I don't want to look for another dress with my session less than a week away.

I'm totally wearing a dress for the final dinner dance thingy. And I'm bringing heels, but only for that occasion. That's all right, right?

Anyway, how are you guys dressing for the prof'nal/relaxed prof'nal stuff? I just got a few dresses (that I REALLY hope are appropriate) and some jackets/sweaters. Am I the only girl who's going to be wearing dresses for those stuff? (Oh, and I deemed relaxed prof'nal and prof'nal the same thing. Their descriptions were quite similar anyway.)

i have more skirts than pants, so i'll probably be wearing skirts a lot for professional, but i also have some pants, and jackets. so i'll wear those too.
But your right, their descriptions of the two were very similar, and a bit confusing.

Abt the professional attire and relaxed, the only differencde is the jacket pro you wear a jacket relaxed you don't. For relaxed ill probably just take my jacket off, this way i don't have tp pack to much. Hope that helps.

My bags are already stuffed as is, but I think I'm going to invest in a pair of nice pants and a couple of blouses. And thanks for your input, J.Sizemore. It really helped.

Again, I hope I'm not the only one to be wearing dresses on almost a daily basis. I really have to get them slacks ;D
