Rockhopper penguins are sooooo cute and I guess famous too after they starred in movies like Surf's Up &amp; Happy Feet. Last time I was at the aquarium giving a talk about them, a little girl said to her mom "can I have a Rockhopper penguin for a pet instead of hamsters?" hahaha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344920 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 01:48:34 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1344920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope someone will take some still shots of stylish you with penguins, and that you will post them. My favorite are the rock hoppers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344914 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 01:45:24 +0000 Jen W 1344914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt! I wouldn't have thought of it it if bj1111 hadn't said it, but I'd hate to see anything compete with the necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344911 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 01:39:35 +0000 bj1111 1344911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That red bag was inadvertent. I couldnt figure out hoe to take it off!</p> <p>I'm not sure it's your style...i see you more in a dressy backpack style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344830 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 00:09:16 +0000 Laura 1344830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@bj1111 - Thanks for taking the time to reply. Given my love for exploration, that necklace with compass pendent quickly became one of my favourites! That hand bag you posted on this thread, are you recommending that style of handbag with my outfit? ...... I do agree, don't want a blouse to hide this lovely necklace </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344720 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 21:14:46 +0000 bj1111 1344720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The necklace is a super find. I would go with the cobalt for filming. The ruffles in the red would mask the fabulousness of your necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344712 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 20:47:45 +0000 Laura 1344712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jen W - I am really grateful that you let me know what looks good in front of the television camera!!! I'm definitely keeping in mind your tip about solid colours like red, black, white or pastels. I have attached photos of a red, white and blue blouse I am thinking of wearing for my talk at the Ålesund Aquarium in Norway and at the Oceanografic Acuario in Spain. I am strongly leaning towards the red blouse right now for Ålesund and the white for Oceanografic while keeping the rest of the outfit the same.</p> <p>@Mimi - I'm glad I posted this thread on the forum! Great advice on sticking with solid colours. Some sections of the aquariums I will be going into will be cold and wet (ie - pengiuns). Plus I bought these boots not too long ago and I LOVE how they look. I have been wearing them everyday this week but is it a constant +30C / +86F&nbsp; in Valencia or is that the temperature for mid-day only?&nbsp; </p> <p>@Ingunn- Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344376 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 06:06:09 +0000 Ingunn 1344376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting for you! I love your outfit idea. Like Jen suggests, I think anything blue is good for tv. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344375 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 06:04:08 +0000 Dixie 1344375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Jen W is so right about the patterns being filmed! I didn't think about it. Do you really think you won't feel hot in knee high boots at&nbsp;&nbsp;30ºC/86ºF?&nbsp;You should carry an extra pair of lighter shoes just in case...&nbsp;I don't think a solid shirt is boring, you just have to find an interesting cut. So let us know what you came up with!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344358 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 05:28:19 +0000 Jen W 1344358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did a bit of research when I was being filmed teaching. The common recommendations are no pattern, white, black, or red. They all do funny things on screen. A color that draws attention to your face would be great. I wore cobalt blue, but I think a deep green, plum, or blue would look great with your necklace and boots and highlight your face depending on your coloring. I read many recommendations to wear pastels, but they tend to wash me out, so my recommendations are based on that. If you look great in pastels, go for it! I'm excited to see what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344324 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 03:57:19 +0000 Laura 1344324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jen W - I'm glad someone likes the accessories! I was really thrilled when I found that necklace with the compass pendent. I considered the animal print top as I was hoping it would loosely fit in with my theme of marine mammals. Do you think a solid white top would be too boring?</p> <p>@Mimi - Thanks for the tip on Valencia weather. Perhaps I can look at a lighter top. These jeans are durable, breathable and flexible so I think they can handle Valencia. These super cute waterproof boots are excellent for when I walk into various wet habitats yet still look stylish. What top do you think would go well with these jeans and boots for Valencia? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344301 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 03:25:10 +0000 Dixie 1344301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's probably hot at Valencia so I don't think the outfit would work there too :O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344300 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 03:22:21 +0000 Jen W 1344300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your choices here but wanted to let you know that solids film better than patterns. You may want to switch the blouse to a solid color that flatters you. Fun accessories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-a-talk-at-the-alesund-akvarium#post-1344263 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 02:39:10 +0000 Laura 1344263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really excited to be giving a talk at the Ålesund Aquarium in Atlanterhavsparken, Norway. </p> <p>Instead of wearing a generic beige shirt and jeans, I wanted to show a little fashion flare. After all, there is a good chance this will be recorded on television and in a nature documentary and I want to look anything but generic.</p> <p>This is the outfit I am thinking of wearing. <br />1. Necklace - explorer style with a compass pendent<br />2. Top - animal print<br />3. Jeans - super skinny, flexi jeans<br />4. Boots - knee high, waterproof, comfy shearling lining</p> <p>After giving a talk at the Ålesund Aquarium in Noway, I will be flying to the<br />Oceanografic in Valencia, Spain for another talk on the same topic. I really like this outfit, do you think it is okay if I wear the exact same outfit for both talks?</p>
