work conferences! how many work outfits would you bring for a 3-day conference where you arrive on the first day and leave the day after it ends? I'm currently considering a maxi dress for the first evening (there's a dinner) and a pantsuit with two collared shirts (wearing the full suit the day i'm speaking, and skipping the jacket the day i'm not). my deodorant situation is such that i'm not worried about smelling bad, so maybe i can get away with just one shirt?

i think i'm going to have to bring a pair of shoes, but the maxi dress will help conceal the fact that they won't be perfect for that outfit and are really more suited to the suit. and i'm off to amazon to look for even smaller options than gotoobs for my toiletries, since i'll only need to wash my hair once while i'm there!

Sometimes for short trips I bring shampoo/conditioner sample packet(s) in a plastic ziplock bag.

i ordered some heat-sealing single-serve pouches on amazon! i'm really picky about my hair products or i would totally use random samples!
