1: Travel capsule for conference

harmonica

I'm having a presentation at a conference and need help to choose outfits i'll need to make a few posts due to internet problems

#1 & #2 are options for presentation. Are the bright blazer too bright? I want people to listen to what i say, not being blended by bright colours. Is it better to go with black blazer?
#3 casual version for casual dinner. Ok or needs tweaking?

Another casual and a packing list: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....her-casual

For me it's not too bright, I love that coral jacket better than all blacks.

I like it with the bright jacket, too. I think it will make people pay attention!

That jacket is a total workhorse for you. Wow!

I really like the casual outfit, too. To make it a bit more casual (and more different from the presentation outfit) how about adding a scarf?

You look fantastic!

I have a coral jacket and I wear it to death. I love it with grey, brown, some shades of green, black and white, of course. It is versatile and so flattering to the face. You want people to see you when you are a presenter.

Great moira! Yes, it is really flattering and i thought that wearing a bright jacket might be a good way to stand out too. Especially if someone likes to ask a question or comment later on. Then I guess I'll be standing out and quite easy to spot - hopefully in a good way

I know what you mean! Dressing well helps a lot. I'm giving a presentation tomorrow at a meeting with a lot of people I would like to make a good impression on, so I've put some effort into my outfit for tomorrow this evening.
