What to wear to an informal meeting

What do you wear to an informal meeting on a Monday night. I wanted to look different but still formal in a way for the Toastmasters Exec meeting. I threw on a pair of black pants and a funny yellow to in my drawer. I havn't really worn it before; the top is cut at an angle but is then finished with a skirt-like design to make the top even again. It was kinda cold and raining so I threw on a pair of arm warmers~a different but not to exposing outfit

Toastmasters~21Feb2011

Here's a little look at what we wore at Toastmasters last night! I'm standing with Jose and Mien ~ both slightly older than me (ok ok they both have grandkids at this moment in time). I thought that it would be great to see what they're wearing. Both ladies had oversized shirts with sleeves going past their elbows. Both wearing pants in this warm weather! I recon that they wear clothes more for comfort than style but still keeping it casual.

I borrowed my sister's white print maxi dress tonight with a blue undershirt. 

Justin our awesome toastmaster also carried a groovy bag. I found out that he grabbed it on his recent trip to Nepal ~ it looked read sturdy and snappy

What I wore yesterday at Toastmasters~ 15 Nov 2010

Toastmasters is so much fun! It is fun to me because it gives me a good challenge with friendly people! Last week at Toastmasters, Jose mentioned that everyone used to dress up for Toastmasters meetings. And I must admit, on a Monday night, right after work, I don't feel  like getting dressed up. So this meeting I tried making an effort. In 5 minutes, I grabbed an old blue, black and white print k-mart dress that I have worn many times before. My favorite winter boots this year from Betts. And an old jacket that I had from my time in the UK. For a limited amount of time, the outfit looked good. I am a big fan of mixing and matching tops and bottoms so that I don't have to go shopping that often~I love it!

Toastmasters Meeting~ 1 Nov 2010

Toastmasters had a meeting on Monday the 1st of November, and the theme was Melbourne Cup which was to be held on the next day! I was still not over the Halloween theme (It was just YESTERDAY!). I found a black maxi dress and wore my cape for Halloween over it! I think it was a good idea and no one else wore the same outfit as me! Now, my dad, I don't know what he was wearing, and there was no way of convincing him to change before we left. He though he looked good in that~I disagreed; I thought he looked comical. Honestly look at it! Bland tan pants, a orange polo shirt, black vest, a loud print tie topped off with a Crocodile Dundee tourist hat. Doesn't that look funny to you? (My outfit is not funny it is cool!)

Here I am with Justin and Teadora! Justin dressed up according to the Melbourne Cup theme; formal with fashion. Everything ironed and clean; even his tie was to the correct length to cover all his buttons! Teadora cam whipping in from work but still looked great in her work gear! Black pants, shimmery striped button-up top with a black jumper to match the pants!

Here is the glove I wore on my left hand for the whole day. I remember getting this pair of gloves at Primark in Leeds. I lost the right glove somewhere, along with the button on the left one that held the mitten back. So, I used 3 pins to hold the mitten part of the glove back. I was surprised to see how well it looked on my glove for a little Halloween accessory! So, if you have an odd glove round the house, I recon you can jazz it up by adding, pins, buttons or anything else that's laying around unused to make it more interesting!
