Uniform Selection - Elisa

Our team has been meeting throughout the winter to prepare for our travels and learning adventures together. A fun group activity to determine some of our preferences was to decide how we would spend remaining money that had not been converted to foreign currency. Within 2 minutes the team had selected beverages (it quickly determined the coffee drinkers of the group) and a snack (most likely 2 cookies to share). We knew we would want a nourishment pick-up in the airport to fuel our reading and practicing of Italian phrases.
However, we learned of strong preferences when the group had to select a uniform. Fortunately we had a wide range to choose from - all one color, khaki and black, navy and gray, red and black, etc. There were more options than one might even think about. Additionally, these outfits will be worn multiple times each week and for a wide variety of activities, so this was not a decision to be made lightly.
We balanced color combinations that are good for pictures, our own skin tones, what matches our own button-up shirts, and what we could wear for an entire day and still look presentable at dinner ... and our conclusion was: navy blue blazers and gray pants/skirts. You will see many pictures to come of us in this color scheme ... and thankfully we all agreed upon it in the end!
