You had better believe they are in the suitcase, Beth Ann! Actually, I can hardly bear the thought of not wearing one right away...but then again, I don't want to get it all dirty in travel. So I will save it for the first evening of the conference. (I have a 2 day conference before the retreat.)
Thank you, Angie. You are very right (of course) about shirts being more flattering to me than most tops. My mother is the same. I have noticed it time and again. Even in her late 80s she looks pretty fab in a button down.
For all the jeans questions, yes, these are the True Religion Cameron boyfriend jeans. I love them! But I'm not bringing them on the trip, because I'm still trying to decide whether or not to hem them. I'm wearing the hems just folded under here...but it's not the best solution. They keep wanting to come down on me.
DeniseP, the jeans got mixed reviews here because many people do not care for the distinctive back pockets and/or the degree of slouch. But I really like wearing them a lot.
K can - I can't believe this tux shirt didn't look great on you! Hunh??? Everything looks great on you!! But THANK YOU for the code tip! I will call them up tomorrow and see what they say!
Rae, you are so right. YLF is a pretty amazing place when people help you out with such fantastic suggestions. We are a lucky bunch.
Thanks all - I will check in from the mountains!
