- Never check baggage – you’ll run the risk of it being lost and being stuck in your “plane clothes” all the next day.
- Wrinkle free is key – who wants to use a cruddy hotel iron?
- Sleeves! – you never know what kind of rooms you’ll be stuck sitting in, but chances are they’ll be cold instead of warm. Wear something with sleeves or bring a jacket to ensure you have options
Here’s what I’ll be putting in my suitcase. Not suits, dresses – wrinkle free, comfortable and professional.
I’ve had my eye on this Suzi Chin dress for a few weeks now. At $159, I wasn’t sold, but it’s on sale at Macy’s for $111 so I ordered it yesterday – hoping it gets here before my flight leaves!
I’ve had this beautiful Calvin Klein dress in my closet for a while. It’s my go-to “there’s a client in the office” dress. It’s Calvin Klein at Nordstrom for $98.
This one, I might just order today. What a beautifully professional look, while still bringing some color and sass to the ensemble. Maggy London at Nordstrom for $138.

Yay! I'm all about work dresses. I just bought this one and I've been waiting impatiently for it to arrive:
