Well, PR Weekend arrives in my hometown this week! (YAAAYYYY!)
Now for three really important questions:
First, what should I wear??
I'm kind of freaking out about this. In fact, on Friday, I found myself at MetroTextiles, pawing thru fabrics and mentally combing thru my pattern stash. So, I may have something new to wear.
Aside from that, I'm thinking that my flowered pants might be fun for Friday fabric shopping or Saturday. I'd also love to work in my color block dress. Also do people get dressed up for dinner on Saturday? If so, how much - ie: color block dress or orange jumpsuit?
Next: There is a pattern swap on Saturday. I've never participated in one. Do you have any tips on pattern swap etiquette? I've got a bunch of patterns to swap (honestly, I'd be happy to just give them away - they are great patterns but not in my size).
Last (and this is the tough one): Purple Hair: yea or nay?
We haven't ever talked about this on my blog, but I have to come clean: the purple hair seen in my profile picture sees a lot of action when Phin and I are out on the town. I always feel fun and fabulous and the world always seems like a better place seen thru purple bangs. But I'm careful about where I wear purple hair - ie: Las Vegas, trendy lounge, cabaret show = yes. Work, other people's events (weddings, showers), and anywhere that I want to be taken seriously = no. I just don't know if this is the audience for it. So, should I show up at some point in the weekend in purple locks? Will that confuse people? Or make them think I'm crazy? (that's not necessarily a deal-breaker). Just think about how you would react to someone with purple hair. Would you think "she must be interesting" and come over and chat with me or would you think "how strange" and keep your distance. Lemme know.
