Yes I was very lucky to see him, the tickets sold out within minutes of going on sale. Prince has lots of Australian fans, we grew up with Purple Rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference/page/2#post-1909385 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 13:07:12 +0000 Laura 1909385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UmmLila, what a sweet thing to say! And don't worry. There are a bazillion bootleg videos of Prince performing, and if you are so inclined, you'll be able to watch him to your heart's content for years to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference/page/2#post-1909235 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 01:44:11 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1909235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so pleased that you wrote a book about Prince that I can't even read anything else. Of all the musicians who have passed away in recent years, he is the one that I most regret not having seen in concert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference/page/2#post-1909188 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 23:43:59 +0000 Angie 1909188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH, <b>Laura</b>. Sommer is a GREAT model. What a sweetie. Too bad about the dress.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference/page/2#post-1909186 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 23:41:54 +0000 Laura 1909186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, wow! You’re one of the lucky ones who saw him on his last tour. Did you see him at the Sydney Opera House? Clearly, he loved Australia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference/page/2#post-1909184 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 23:39:46 +0000 Laura 1909184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, here’s the purple scarf. Sadly, the AT dress is not an option as my store had it in my usual size, but it didn’t fit, and they had no more in store. Toobad, as it would’ve been a match for the purple scarf! I think I can make do with what I have, although I will look into AT’s express shipping options. Usually they’re ridiculously expensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference/page/2#post-1908887 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:28:03 +0000 Bijou 1908887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! My favourite look is #4. Your shoe choices and wardrobe choices are all wonderful, I do love the idea of adding more purple because it is Prince. Prince will always be one of my musical heroes. I saw him on his Australian tour in Feb 2016, he was brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908883 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:22:05 +0000 Angie 1908883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES.

Suz, I’ve always wanted to chat with you about what you do, as I know you’re a writer too! You know the life. Long stretches of time alone, punctuated by frantic weeks like the one ahead. JAileen, we’re having a blizzard of historic proportions. But we’re Minnesotans, and we’ve got this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908626 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 22:39:10 +0000 JAileen 1908626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your gold boots. You should wear them with every outfit! Yes to a purple scarf. My son lives in St Paul and just texted me they’re having a big snow storm today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908612 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 22:19:20 +0000 The Cat 1908612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those metallic boots are gorgeous and was the first I noticed.

Amazing! I hope you'll share some photos from the events.&nbsp;</p> <p>8 outfits is a lot to have to prepare and in this crazy weather (currently getting the same storm in Ontario, where it is freezing ice pellets...)&nbsp;</p> <p>I love your choices, and in particular, the amazing gold boots! Those are a fantastic find on you. Perfect bookending joy.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908585 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:20:22 +0000 Laura 1908585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KM, yes - A Mpls meet-up would be so much fun. MOA, anyone?!&nbsp;</p> <p>Colette, we were in IL for years and I feel your pain. April will always break your heart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908569 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:56:52 +0000 Colette 1908569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GOLD BOOTIES for the win!!! And you did a great job with your outfits.</p> <p>Congrats on your biography! I'm in IL and dressing for events in April is the worst. Honestly it's difficult to plan too far in advance because inevitably if you plan for winter weather it ends up being 80's degrees and when you plan for warmer temps you get a blizzard. UGH. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908539 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:18:04 +0000 K.M. 1908539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Laura</b>, maybe one day we'll do a YLF meetup in MN?... </p> <p>PS. I think writers are the best! It's one of my dream jobs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908537 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:15:56 +0000 Laura 1908537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I have a purple cashmere scarf. It would work with the outfits with cool colors. Great idea!&nbsp;</p> <p>The WHBM dress is perfection, but too cold indeed! What about that AT tulip dress, Angie? Could I winterize it with tights and boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908533 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:12:09 +0000 Laura 1908533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KM, I am not an academic. I am just a lowly writer, but I have smart friends! lol. I live in the burbs west of the city. </p> <p>Honestly, if I have to, I'll wear snow boots and carry a tote bag with my shoes. That will work everywhere except Paisley Park, but that's the end of the week, so hopefully this darned snow will be significantly melted by then. So many people are trying to travel here this weekend from all over the globe. A mess for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908532 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:11:43 +0000 Angie 1908532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toppers look fab.</p> <p>Maybe a purple SCARF. Or bag?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908531 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:11:06 +0000 Angie 1908531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More top pic dresses: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908529 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:09:28 +0000 Angie 1908529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay. I may have to try the boots. PERFECT with my bell bottoms.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Laura,</b> you need this purple dress - size down. But it's too cold I suspect.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908527 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 20:08:23 +0000 K.M. 1908527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Laura</b>, yes, I'm an academic Are you?

The elastic is ideal for low-volume feet!</p> <p>I need eight outfits, so that means I need one more outfit, and I need it to work day into evening.</p> </p> <p>Yes, toppers!! I forgot. In finds, below.</p> <p>KM, nice to be able to commiserate with a fellow Minnesotan. Are you an academic? I have lots of friends speaking at the conference too.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-outfits-for-weeklong-conference#post-1908518 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:50:24 +0000 Carla 1908518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What!?
