I like comfort over fashion so my default are jeans and tees. On hot days, a pair of shorts replaces the jeans.
But since I'm a single parent to three furry kids, and have to look credible as a management training consultant so I can continue to provide for them, I dress up when I meet with clients. That means wearing a crisply-ironed shirt with my jeans and leather shoes if it's a smart casual kind of meeting. If the nature of the meeting is serious, then I go corpy-dorpy with gray or black slacks and my favorite light pink shirt.
What's in my pockets: a black billfold that I try to keep as slim as possible as I put that in my right front pocket when I know that I'll be in a public place teeming with people. Mobile phone and car key in my left pocket.
When pockets are tight to put anything in them except for my wallet, then I use a small bag for my phone that I sling over my shoulders.
