Conference Wear Help

[Noblegirl]

Hi ladies--I'm usually a lurker, but am now seeking your sage fashion advice.  

I'm attending a conference in May in Disney World.  The dress code is listed as business casual, but living up north, I feel as though the layers of sweaters and cardigans won't work for this.  

What would you wear to this? Pictures welcome.

TIA!

Layers of cardigans and blazers are fine in Orlando in May. You'll be in doors where they'll be pumping the AC.

Exactly!!!

I spend a lot of time on my feet at conferences so I bring two pairs of comfortable shoes. That way I can alternate shoes. Like others mentioned, the A/C is cranked so you want those layers to adjust your temperature. In addition to a cardigan and a jacket, I will bring a couple of silk scarves. I spend a a lot of time talking at conferences so I will wrap a long scarf around by throat to protect my throat and add a layer of warmth. Silk scarfs don't take a lot of room in the suitcase and can add a touch of color to an outfit.

I generally wear 2 types of "uniforms" at work conferences. 1) Shift dress with a cardigan (easy to remove cardigan if I'm to warm and still look professional) and 2) Pencil skirt with either sleeveless blouse and cardi or a thin silk 3/4 length top.

Here are some links for my travel workwear styles:

what everyone else said - but I also learned quickly that heels are not my friend at conferences - it always seems like the convention centers are miles and miles long and I'm walking a lot. definitely comfortable flats or wedges.
