Recently, my friend Kristin Burnham, CIO.com’s social media writer (and voice of @CIOonline) mentioned she was making a trip to the Bay Area this week for meetings at Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn. Like a lot of my friends, she asked my advice on what to wear.
If I were lucky enough to be in her shoes this week, here is what I would choose for each location.
Facebook: Keep it fun!
Google: Flats are a must for walking the Googleplex campus.
LinkedIn: A site tailored to business networking calls for a more tailored look.
What would you wear to a business meeting at one of these innovative companies?

With the information age we currently live in, it’s only natural that social media platforms become launching pads on how we interact with fashion and share our fashionable lives with others. Fresh from last week’s Fashion 140 Conference in NYC – it is apparent that more and more companies and bloggers are using social media to connect with consumers & readers in intimate ways like never before. Here are a few examples on how sharing fashion has become more sociable than you originally thought…
