Speaking of Ugly Betty … I’ve kind of felt like her over the last two weeks as I’ve been busy buying new clothes for my trip and well, just because I really did need some new clothes!
Around home a t-shirt and sweat pants are just fine and since I’ve been quite the home body since I got really sick two years ago I haven’t been updating my wardrobe all that much. I really haven’t had to … until now.
I must say that it’s a little intimidating to go into a clothing store when you feel a little out of touch with what’s in fashion these days!
If I was just going to the blogging conventions in Vegas I wouldn’t worry about it all that much, but on Saturday night the Bl0ggers Ch0ice Awards are being held in the TAO nightclub which of course is a hot celebrity night spot and very trendy … so I’ve got to look the part.
I think I managed to do ok shopping and what I’ll be wearing should be acceptable. I think that’s the only place that we’ll be going that I’ve really got to worry about my appearance in any great way. You don’t have to really dress up for the casinos do you? It sure doesn’t look like it when I watch shows like CSI Las Vegas.
Oh and when I looked up what kind of temperature Las Vegas would be in November last month I read that it’s usually only about 65 F during the day and mid 50’s at night … well, I checked the weather there earlier today it was 78F and right now it’s 82F … so much for those nice sweaters I bought. I’ll have to be sure to pack some t-shirts now!
Anyone have any quick Vegas tips for me?
I’ve already been warned by a nurse that just came back from Vegas to NOT wear my contacts while I’m there since the air is so dry. Well that won’t happen! I’ll be wearing my contacts on Saturday at the very least.
BTW I’m still sick! More on that later!
We’re having a heatwave just in time for your arrival 🙂
I can understand your feelings on going from the work-at-home mode, where sweatpants and a t-shirt get the job done just fine… to having to go out in public and worry about appearances. Some of the humble meals I have accustomed myself to don’t match the appetites of my associates and I had to study some dining etiquette. Regardless, I love being able to go back and forth!
Hi Tricia,
We’ve been to Vegas many times…but always in the dead of the summer when it’s like 115 degrees!!! But you’ll love it there. It’s a little fantasyland and a great place to people watch. Let’s see…. some tips…. wear comfy shoes…sneakers… especially if you plan to walk the strip. Be sure to check out many of the hotels/casinos. They’e huge and they’re beautiful. Carry a water bottle with you as the air is so dry. Have a wonderful time and I hope you feel better for your trip.
Vegas is warm in the day right now but the weather is kinda freakish so don’t forget those sweaters. At night it gets chilly so keep that in mind. Once you get to TAO it’s going to be quite warm in the club. Remember you’ll have a couple thousand people dancing around you!! Dress fierce it’s the sexiest spot in Vegas! Make a dinner reservation before the food there is insane, I’m hooked on the Shashimi of Kobe and Chilliean Sea Bass both melt in your mouth…
I would reccomend shopping here when you go home no one will have the stuff you have. Vegas has sick shopping…
Do check out all the free shows of Las Vegas, especially the Fremont experience and the Rio show, which many people miss out because they are not on the main strip.
