So, insert massive spazzing on my end.

Auntie Icka's got a job as a travelling salesman. woman. whatever. Extension of the Bridal Show job, selling crystal, china and kick-ass kitchen stuff across the States. And maybe Canada.

OMG I HAVE TO DRESS FORMALLY.

-Anyone got any suggestions for formal / business outfits that pack small?
Things to do with long hair other than shove it all back in a ponytail? My hair is roughly 27 inches long, which makes ponytails kinda heavy ^^;; But! That's a lot of hair to play with!

Also! Job starts and I fly out of Phoenix the morning Monday, 16 Feb. THE DAY ESTRELLA ENDS. Which means I have to get ready and pack for both Estrella War and getting ready for new job.

Spaz, Icka, Spaz.

Note to self: Remove knives from backpack -before- going to airport...

Congratulations!

I second shade_scribbler's suggestions, and add that you should also add a couple of neutral jewelry pieces, as well. One set in gold, and one in silver. Also, a wristwatch. Also, a low heel (I usually go with about 2") are a necessity. Make sure you pack some sort of flat as well, though! (Me? About the accessory? Noooo...) But she's definitely right about shirts and jackets - fit the widest part of you first, tailor everything else down. Oh! And most noteworthy - make sure that your slacks/jacket/skirt are roughly the same shade of black or grey or whatever. At least such that they don't look substantially different under fluorescent lights.

As for hair, a simple French braid works well and isn't quite so heavy when it starts lower on the head. (Less Lara Croft, more...well, I don't have a point of reference for this.) Also, invest in clips - they will be a lifesaver! (My own hair isn't quite so long as yours, but my mother's is longer. Half-up, half-down is also a very good, professional look, especially with a nice clip or barrette.
