Now I imagine that to portray a professional image at the conference workshops the dress code would be office wear.
But what defines office wear these days?
Checking out the websites of a number of different retailers I found that in many cases their office wear lines included denim jeans. Are these now considered aprropriate for the office? Are jeans dressier then they used to be? Or have office standards dropped?
Ok, to be honest, I don't really care why, just please tell me they'll be ok to wear. Yep, you guessed it - I have jeans!
The outfits depicted here are the ones in the latest catalogues from Myer, David Jones, Katies and Suzanne Grae.
The Pitch
Hmmm. The Pitch. Just the words alone are enough to make me tremble in my boots. Let alone worrying about what to wear!
The image I want to project: professional, competent, organised, relaxed - as I will probably be none of these things (think nervous, sweating, fumbling and bumbling) I need my clothing to try and portray the image for me.
My gosh. What hope do I have at successfully pitching?
Again I have consulted the online catalogues of many of my local fashion stores and gained an insight into what's hot and what's not. You'll never guess where I fit in!
Below are just a sample of some of the models I viewed dressed in what any up and coming author whould be wearing to The Pitch.
What are you wearing?
