I made lots of new friends on Sunday night. Two of them were named Alli and Gator. Just kidding, I don’t know their names, but they were in fact baby alligators and I held one of them. My firm hosted a pretty stupendous (that’s an underused word, don’t you think?) party at this conference, and our big draws were the live band and the baby alligator photo op. Don’t worry, there were handlers there, and we are donating $500 to the Florida Everglades as a thank you to these cute little predators.

What do you wear when you know you’re going to a party with alligators? A cute cocktail dress that will make them feel right at home, obviously! It’s called “swamp chic” and it’s so hot right now. And yes, you will notice that I opted for flats and a crossbody bag instead of your typical heels and clutch. The latter set is just not practical for networking. If you’re looking for impractical outfit ideas, just let me know, and I can direct you to another blog or 2.

In addition to the alligators, I got to meet one of my lovely blog readers (hi Katrina!), and I busted a move with people from at least four different continents. All in all, a pretty successful night!

  1. I would have hesitated to say this 15 years ago because you’d have marched back to your room and changed clothes – you look great in that dress!

  2. You are my favorite blogger!! Did you know ahead of time one of your fans would be there or was that a surprise?
