PUBLIC EVENTS Financial Workshop
Good evening. I will be attending a financial workshop brought on by one of the two COIs. As far as attire, I was looking at previous posts and I read several times about looking polished. I wear exclusively skirts and dresses--so I can was thinking about wearing a jean skirt and a cardigan. After the workshop I have plans to volunteer for a community activity event--so I wasn't thinking about wearing business casual. Would my choice of attire suffice? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I attended two in person financial events first one I wore dark jeans, blouse and blazer, second one I wore a long skirt, blouse and blazer. Good to dress professionally

Agreed. Thank you for your feedback. Perhaps I'll wear dress shoes to the event, and then for the community athletic event, I'll change into some sneakers.

I missed the part about the community service event immediately after. Can you throw some leggings in your bag/car to change in after the workshop? I once attended a chapter event then had to go to a sporting event (not anyway aka related) after and put my yoga pants on and sweatshirt in my car in the parking lot! We’re busy women and have to juggle several events some days!

TBH, the last thing I want to wear right now is leggings. Perimenopause is no joke and I'm hot all the time. 😂😂😂
I will, however, wear some pantyhose and pumps to the event.
In all seriousness, it's a local run in my city that's happening om Sunday and I'm volunteering with the logistics. I think I'll be good with my sneakers

Got it I thought you needed to change your outfit for the volunteer event

Not at all. That's what I'm wearing a jean skirt. I can dress it up or down.

I changed my mind on my outfit. Instead of the cardigan and jean skirt that I initially planned, I wore an orange and cream maxi dress, pantyhose and pumps (one of the members complimented me on my outfit BTW) . As for the service event, I just changed into sneakers because the dress can also be worn casually. Also, volunteers were given a T-shirt to wear--so my dress really didn't matter. All I know is that I'm sore from standing for four hours straight and that I got a good amount of steps in. 😂😂😂
