We'll warn them to bring extra stock of Angie approved items from the blog.</p> <p>Hey, you said "dream" right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-401036 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:56:36 +0000 catgirl 401036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo will mix drinks in her blush tank top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-401030 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:50:33 +0000 Lisa 401030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat ideas here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400804 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:15:24 +0000 Angie 400804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun :)</p> <p>I vote for AJ's seminar on crafty creativity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400751 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 11:36:51 +0000 MsMary 400751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, AJ! What a fab idea!!</p> <p>And of course AJ herself has to give the master class on MOTG casual elegance with a generous dollop of fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400659 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 02:04:23 +0000 Kari 400659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think that Kristen needs to take us on a casual dress shopping run. Case in point: <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2011/08/leggo-my-eggo.html">one</a>, <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2011/08/3-item-outfit.html">two</a>, <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2011/07/ice-cream-cliff.html">three</a>, to name a few recent examples... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400637 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:32:12 +0000 Michelle 400637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This must happen. It just has to!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400636 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:28:49 +0000 Kari 400636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Happily manning the tea both - here's a fresh scone, too!*</p> <p>I'd love it if some of our amazing photographers - Marley comes to mind - would give a seminar on how to attain excellent photos while indoors.<br /> Michelle and Angie might co-chair an industry update, similar to Michelle's guest posts.<br /> I'd also be very interested in a seminar from Michelle emphasizing the importance of selecting outfits and dressing by feel as well. Michelle's comments about shopping/dressing by textures - appreciating the richness of fabrics or leathers - has made me so much more conscious of the touch and the comfort of my clothing, not only the appearance, and it's helped me appreciate my wardrobe on another level.<br /> Taylor, Anna, and Rute should panel a masterclass on how to walk with comfort and poise in very high heels.<br /> Our fabulous members who also work in fashion retail (Marianna, Taylor, etc.) should have a panel discussing how their visibility as a sales representative colors their at-work fashion choices.</p> <p>I definitely think someone needs to tackle budgeting and closet editing, as Modgrl mentioned, but it's not me!</p> <p>I also picture that we would have the following events running concurrently with the panel sessions:<br /> *A giant open swap room, organized by size<br /> *A foot care booth tailored towards both massage/pedicures for those who go in for it, or for comfort/pain prevention for those with fussy feet<br /> *A "wardrobe workshopping" room where we can get together and workshop outfits or styles that we aren't sure how to wear successfully, and get suggestions from our peers. (Maybe we'd do this as an out-of-conference-center excursion in small groups, instead - a shopping trip to a department store in a group with others who have different challenges but similar interests - so we could actually try on some of the concepts we are exploring, and help each other out.)<br /> *A computer or IPad station equipped with a camera/photo booth set up for instant realtime posts</p> <p>And, of course, we would have to have a killer-to-the-power-of-killer evening reception so that we could get all decked out and celebrate together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400594 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 23:40:55 +0000 nicoleb 400594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha this is awesome you guys I need to fill out a registration form asap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400592 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 23:35:18 +0000 Michelle 400592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is too much fun!!<br /> I'm glad someone pitched Maya for a bra seminar, because that's key!<br /> The playground seminar sounds terrif. Celia gets to do that, and i nominate Khris and Laura too. </p> <p>Greenglove, would you offer colour consultations for those of us who want them? </p> <p>Reva is in charge of play time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400515 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:50:10 +0000 celia 400515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds like a fun seminar. Where can I register?<br /> Can we have some panel on 'How to challenge the playground environmental norm '? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400496 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:30:52 +0000 Aida 400496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polly, totally! That is a fantastic idea. And you know, the items are still "in the family" so it's all for the greater good right? ;)</p> <p>Heather will host a whirlwind seminar on how to wear maximalist jewelry, wear (and mix!) conversational prints with ease, and mix high-low items in ways that it ALL looks high end.</p> <p>Sveta, Ornella, Jenava and I will have a panel discussion on how to be stylish as technical women among engineers and IT </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400494 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:28:50 +0000 AJ 400494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Taylor, I just saw your addition!

Nicoleb should join the DIY seminar to teach bleach/studding techniques. :)</p> <p>And of course there should be a giganto swap at the end! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400478 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:17:35 +0000 modgrl 400478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and we must let clothes that belong together meet... </p> <p>My milly jacket and MaryK's pink Kate Spade pumps belong together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400475 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:15:32 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 400475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! </p> <p>Aida - do you think we should have a 'request swap' where we ask for the items that we have been drooling over that belong to other YLFers? *giggles even more* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400473 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:15:06 +0000 modgrl 400473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mini course would cover how to look taller :)</p> <p>Who's going to cover the closet purge, Budgeting/keeping track of your fashion expenses and Seasonal updates? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-dream-ylf-convention#post-400471 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:11:13 +0000 Aida 400471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*giggle* Ohhh this sounds like WAY too much fun!
