Sorry for flooding y'all with pics all at once, but this is the chance I've had to take them. I'm heading to a writers conference next week and I'm trying to figure out what to wear. I need to have three days of outfits that work for air conditioned buildings in a hot part of the country. I'm aiming for something that looks pulled-together and responsible but not too staid, with a bit of artistic flair. Things that pack easily would be a bonus but I can iron and do laundry once I get there.

Outfit 1/2 is centered around a sleeveless shirtdress I recently thrifted and thought would be perfect - until I got it home and wasn't so sure about the shape of it.

Outfit 3 I really like personally but worry it's too dark and boring. (Belt still has tag on, that would obviously change.)

The rest are attempts to find some options for a third outfit.

Thanks for any feedback or other suggestions.
