California Fashion: CC Goes to San Francisco!

By Candy

CollegeCandy is headed out to San Francisco for Adobe Days! While we’re out there, we’re going to be playing with some of the latest creative software Adobe has to offer and learning about new ways to bring the products to you, the students.  We’re super excited for this opportunity, but got stumped on the classic travel question: What do we pack to wear?

As summer rapidly approaches, chances are you’ll be traveling at least once. We thought we’d share the essential outfits hours of brainstorming left us with…

Sweater, J.Crew; Leggings, Sears; Flip flips, Havaianas; Breakfast at Tiffany’s sleep mask, Amazon; Duffel bag, Mara Hoffman; Wuthering Heights, Penguin

When you’re stuck in one place for a long time — like in a car or a plane — you want to be pretty darn comfy. We tossed together some leggings with a soft, bright sweater and added a pair of funky flip flops. Such little thought required and you won’t look wrinkled or disheveled once you finally reach your destination. Bonus points because we found this Breakfast at Tiffany’s-inspired sleep mask and a pretty copy of our favorite book, Wuthering Heights.

Blouse, H&M; Skirt, J.Crew; Heels, Zara; Purse, Zara; Necklace, Forever XXI; Laptop, Mac; Adobe Photoshop; Notebook, Russell and Hazel

Since, much to our dismay, we can’t wear leggings post-transit on a business trip, we had to assemble a versatile work outfit that screamed, “We do more than drink during office hours. We swear!” Let me tell you, a colorful pencil skirt and a hot pair of heels can pretty much scream anything you want them to, and we think we succeeded conveying the profesh vibe with these here. And, most important of all, since we’ll be at the Adobe campus, we’ll definitely be using Photoshop throughout the day. Cool bonus: You can download a free trial of any of the programs in CS6 right here on the Adobe site.

T-Shirt, Gap; Jeans, Zara; Sunglasses, Urban Outfitters; Bag, Marc Jacobs; Shoes, Steve Madden; Camera, Walmart

Every good cross-country excursion calls for a little sight-seeing, so we want to be dressed to go when it’s time to scope out the Golden Gate bridge and chase some cable cars. Comfy flats are the key to roaming around new cities, and a large satchel will hold all those souvenirs you just have to have. And don’t forget to grab a map!
