I'm from the Bay Area CA but wasn't sure if my normal music teacher attire was going to cut it or not in a tech environment...Learned a lot, thanks again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-mid_may-trip#post-1796777 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 20:54:09 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1796777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Cyan,</p> <p>I've lived here almost 5 years, so I can give some hints. I have also been to tech conferences here.</p> <p>I would say that in mid-to-late May, it's likely to be fairly pleasant and not as rainy as it is over the winter and winter-adjacent months. It can still dip into chilly temps, so light outerwear is a good idea--but maybe more like a hoodie or denim jacket. Walkable shoes are important, and you do seem to be thinking in the right direction on that.</p> <p>I don't know where you're from, but it looks like possibly a more formal fashion environment like the East Coast? Portland style is quite a bit more casual overall (but with a personal sense of flair, not usually as generic and sloppy as "casual" can sometimes go), and the tech world is more casual still than even streetwear.&nbsp;The tech scene is mainly T-shirts, jeans, and hoodies and such. "Business" wear or dresses are dressier than you're likely to see at PyCon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/portland-mid_may-trip#post-1796729 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 18:41:19 +0000 cyan45 1796729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello ladies,&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been off the radar for a while, but love reading what you have to say to keep up-to-date!</p> <p>I'm attending the PyCon conference in Portland (May 16-22) and was wondering what to pack? Weather forecast research results include everything from "nice and sunny" to "who knows?" LOL.</p> <p>Also, if anyone is in the area, would love to meet up! This is my first Portland trip, can't wait to visit.</p> <p>A few details: Will pack carry-on + work tote, either take the bus or Lyft to the convention center, wear biz casual on-site, and perhaps walk around town exploring when not sleeping or doing laptop stuff.</p> <p>What I have so far:<br />--trench coat<br />--boots (low heel knee high + bootie)<br />--flats + low wedge heels<br />--jersey wrap dresses, sleeved<br />--ponte sheath dresses<br />--ponte pencil skirt<br />--various blouses + cardigans/ponte blazer<br />--cozy scarf/hat/gloves + travel umbrella<br />--hose (nude/black + small black pattern)</p> <p>Any other conference tips you may have would be wonderful! I started teaching myself to code late last year, and have no idea what to expect at the event...other than learn a lot and have a good time :)</p> <p>Thank you kindly.</p> <p> </p>
