What is business casual attire for a teen girl?
I’m going to an international journalism conference in late July with my journalism teacher and a few fellow students. In the email she sent us, we were told to dress "business casual." I have no idea what that means. The only thing that was specified was that jeans and t-shirts aren’t allowed.
Can I wear shorts? What about capris? I have nice tops that I can pair with just about anything, but what kind of shoes do I need? Can I wear skirts? And can I wear some of the summery dresses I have?

Go to Target in the juniors or women’s section and they have inexpensive casual business clothes . For a teen girl you should wear black slacks with good height for heels or flats and a button up nice shirt with casual silver jewelry ( no clunky colored beads or anything) & nooo don’t wear shorts, capris, or a skirt. You want to look classy and those are not business attire.

no shorts, no capris, but stores like macys have things like these to get an idea from (or you could just buy it):

http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=453060&CategoryID=28001#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D25 (but you might want to put a black/gray suit jacket over it)
for a skirt
http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=531022&CategoryID=28001#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D25 (nothing too short)
for shoes just try something like this:

or

Hope this helps! (oh and for jewelry just keep it simple with stud earrings or a pearl bracelet no chunky jewelry)
