I'm glad the shopping trip was a success...less things to worry about. I'd be a basket case if someone filmed me packing! I think that the black ponte leggings with a tunic sounds like a great idea, because as you said, the footwear will really determine how dressy it will be.</p> <p>Good luck! And how fun about your friend Tricia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1207282 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 04:30:07 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1207282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: camera guy. Is gone - he got to watch me pack too many shoes but I managed to pack the undies when he wasn't looking. </p> <p>I had a successful shopping trip with my mom and found a black, light weight, long sleeved tunic to wear with my black ponte leggings. Very simple, but comfortable, feels like me, and I think will be perfect for close up interviewing but also if I am shown sitting. It feels like it could be good if everyone else is either casual or dressier and I have enough shoe choices to go with what seems appropriate, For the airplane, I bought a great cotton flowy top to go over skinny jeans and converse and Mom saved the day with a black knit blazer!! I am super excited about that. I also found a graohic tee, sheer black sweater and am packing that to go with my BF jeans for the return flight. :-)</p> <p>And just a special note - the commenter above "tricia w" is my real life friend that I introduced to this site! Doing a happy dance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1207145 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 00:51:16 +0000 JAileen 1207145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I sure wouldn't want someone watching me pack! </p> <p>Best of luck to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1207113 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 23:52:05 +0000 tricia w. 1207113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans, a couple of tops, a knit dress, items that will work together, change up the look with a scarf or jewelry. Have fun and know that as nervous as you get, the camera loves you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206898 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:53:42 +0000 viva 1206898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really, really very exciting for all of us in the audience. Stay calm!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206896 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:51:55 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for your thoughtful and helpful and supportive replies! As soon as I leave work, I'm going to the hairdresser to tweak a little spot that I am having trouble with, then a little shopping with my Mom. She has a few jackets that may work for me, and I want to see what else I may need.</p> <p>Then EEK - there is a camera man coming to our house tonight to film us packing (as if packing isn't stressful enough all by itself). He may also film is in the morning, leaving. (FYI, morning is NOT my best time!)</p> <p>We fly out first thing in the morning and the first order of events will be causal filming. I am thinking that if I look super cute in my travel outfit, it could transition into casual filming. Then the more official (although not formal, I'm told) interview will happen. After that, will be the concert.</p> <p>So there's the scoop. Stay tuned for outfits. I will also let you know when the story will air. (There is a small possibility it could be this weekend.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206848 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:17:23 +0000 Anonymous 1206848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No brilliant suggestions as I'm useless at that sort of thing, but you've got some good advice so far.

I will look deeper into everything you wrote before I go shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206595 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 13:49:12 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know that part yet, Angie. My best guess at this point is that I can change after I get off of the plane but should be prepared to go to the concert and do the interview in the same outfit. As soon as I hear from the producer on flights, I will ask more about the timeline and if anything is carrying over into. Saturday. This all came up late last night, so I am still spinning! :-)</p> <p>Thank you for the advice on colors, hair and makeup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206593 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 13:46:48 +0000 Angie 1206593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Hectic. I'm excited for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can you change for the interview? Will we see you from the waist up only?&nbsp;</p> <p>Wear more make-up, a colour and leave off the pattern. Good hair day is vitally important.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206590 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 13:45:32 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! You are wonderful. Am at work so can't say much, but when my boss found out, this morning she exclaimed "Oh you HAVE to do this!" This was followed by "You need to leave early to do some shopping! and you just had your hair done, so that's all good." I really love my boss... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206549 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 13:10:56 +0000 Isabel 1206549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure either, but I also think no linen. &nbsp; And I LOVE windchime's suggestion. &nbsp;How wonderful. The truth is that you dress wonderfully, I cannot imagine you going wrong. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am so happy that you get to share your daughter's story in some capacity. &nbsp;</p> <p>Safe travels....</p> <p>XXXXXX </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206523 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 12:37:16 +0000 Windchime 1206523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your post's title definitely got my attention, Sarah! Sometimes when life calls, we have to answer quickly.<br /> I wonder if you have a wardrobe item which you feel especially connects you to your daughter-- a color she loved, for example... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206513 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 12:23:17 +0000 Suz 1206513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Sarah - this is an amazing development. And it sounds as if it is something you would like to do, even if it is nerve-wracking. So....</p> <p>I have done a fair bit of travelling where during the trip I have to make a public appearance of some kind. (Not on TV, but in front of an audience.) Here are some tips that have proved helpful to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Check the probable&nbsp;weather and the humidity range as well at your destination. That will rule some things out and some things in -- immediately.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Consider footwear first. What size of bag will you be able to take, and how many shoes? Changes of footwear can be heaven-sent, and even necessary, if you need to do various types of activity on the trip. But at the same time, you want to be efficient here.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. For travel -- jersey or ponte knit items are wonderful (depending on time of year/ temperature, etc.) And layers. One of my favourite travel outfits is tights (if it is cool), a jersey dress (layered over a long-sleeved tee or t-neck, if cold) and a pullover or cardigan over top. Or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/#ensemble-feature-1">Angie's&nbsp;formula from the other day.&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;If the weather is on the cool side, the outfit you showed us the other day with the moto might be perfect for travel! Or a version with shoes instead of boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>4. For the concert you'll be attending -- I like the idea of a dress, since that fits with your feminine side, and the green dress could be great. But also consider the wrinkle factor. If you have a jersey type dress, that could be easiest. If not, no worries -- you will probably have an iron at your destination and can make sure the dress looks perfect.&nbsp;</p> <p>5. For the interview: No busy patterns. Nothing that will wash you out. Ideally, a plain coloured top that won't wash you out. Try to find out how they want to stage the conversation. Is it going to be "natural" and "casual" (i.e. you'll be sitting on a couch or similar)&nbsp;or will it be a more formal discussion at a table or something. If it were me and I were going to be sitting on a couch (esp. one that might make me sink into it a bit) I would not want a skirt on. You should ask them what they will need to attach the mike to you -- some cuts of clothes make this difficult and it's awkward.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ultimately, I think your goal will be to find the right combination of softness and comfort together with structure (so a jacket, perhaps or a woven top for the interview). You want to be "you" and you want to look your best. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206502 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 12:06:38 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! Good point.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206498 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 12:02:21 +0000 rute 1206498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh.. no linen! By the time you arrive it will be a mess, choose fabrics that don't wrinkle!<br />I would go for dark denin jeans, a nice silk blouse and a jacket (choose colors that complements your skin). Nice and comfy shoes (maybe pointy kitten heels). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206407 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 04:53:27 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I crazy to think that the linen track pants could be in the running? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206401 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 04:43:59 +0000 Lyn D. 1206401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps something with a jacket or blazer for structure?<br />Sounds exciting- Good Luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206397 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 04:40:53 +0000 rabbit 1206397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My instant gut thought is to wear your green dress. &nbsp;But that might or might not feel emotionally right to you. &nbsp; I &nbsp;would go with a tried and tested&nbsp;fallback outfit that feels good and supportive and like you. &nbsp;I feel like people interviewed on TV are often wearing nice casual clothes, but then if the concert is more conservative and the story is linked, concert wear seems like it would make sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206394 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 04:38:30 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just re-read what I posted and Una's question again. I should clarify about the TB show - it's not live. In fact, it's the type of thing that may take weeks to months to finish editing and airing. There will be plenty of time to give you all the heads up before it airs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206389 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 04:32:45 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una: yes... Exciting, stressful, and if all goes as planned, you will see me. Although it's TV, so could be a 13 second blip... Or could be 5 minutes! :-)</p> <p>Shevia: thank you... Deep breaths are what I need most. I haven't been able to catch my breath in hours! &lt;3</p> <p>Deborah: that is a really good point. Being comfortable with myself is the most important part! I will remember that.</p> <p>Adefa: You're right. The producer did say solid colors are better than patterns. I don't have a blazer, but maybe a cardigan would work? Very wise about the pieces, lines, contrast.</p> <p>I knew you ladies would sort me out!! Now to get the nerves under control... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206373 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 04:07:42 +0000 Adelfa 1206373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texas? That means it will be Spring there? That makes it harder, almost.</p> <p>It sounds like you need something classic. Probably solid colors (I believe those work well on TV?) A sheath dress with a blazer?</p> <p>I'm thinking not too many pieces, not too many cuts in the line. Not too much contrast within the outfit.</p> <p>Those are my preliminary thoughts! Congratulations! And thanks for including us in your family's journey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206372 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 04:05:47 +0000 Deborah 1206372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a wonderful opportunity. I just don't feel I know your wardrobe well enough to advise you.&nbsp; I will try and flick through past outfit posts to get some ideas.&nbsp; In the meantime, can I suggest 'just be you'.&nbsp; What would you wear if you were travellling and attending a concert but without the tv part?&nbsp; Don't stress about the tv part.&nbsp; Maybe just dress up would you would normally wear a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-flightconcerttv-interview#post-1206371 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 04:02:13 +0000 Jaime 1206371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deep breaths.
