One thing I will add because I didn't even think of this until I got to my first summer ACS short course, don't forget to have some element of your outfit that can accommodate your clip-on name badge in a useful location. This is usually not a problem when the weather is cool (see: layers), but it's easy to forget during the stiflingly hot days of late summer. I always stuff a coordinating scarf into my bag for exactly this purpose, if I know I'm not likely to want to wear a cardigan or blazer. This a no-brainer for guys - they will almost always have a pocket well placed for this purpose. Women's tops, though, frequently offer no useful connection points, so keep that in mind.

I'm thinking of wearing a pair of flat navy pumps (I'm a navy person), a smart-casual top, skirt/and or trousers (weather permitting) and a navy jacket with tights. Does this sound appropriate?Emily Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661363468235182847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280650735019731186.post-22183112809769550602014-03-29T20:45:34.912+01:002014-03-29T20:45:34.912+01:00Great!

Maybe it depends on the field, but at the conferences I attend very few people wear suits, and shorts and sandals are not uncommon :). I like to feel it's a bit of a special occasion, so I at least bring a blazer and (comfortable) high heels, but wear those with more casual skirts or jeans.
