OOTD- Day to Night in Stripes

One important element in packing light, is maximizing the items you do take with you. I had to make sure all of my outfits could fit several occasions with just a few quick changes. So once I pried myself away from that cool breeze and the relaxing sounds of the waves:

I took this outfit perfect for taking a stroll to the mall for a little browsing (okay, maybe a little bit of shopping too) and lunch:

and very easily turned it into an outfit befitting of a late night sushi dinner and cocktails. All I needed were some different shoes and a clutch:

Multi-tasking outfits might not be so hard to tackle!!

Are you an over-packer or usually take just enough?

OOTD- Prowling on a Weekend

The weather was so beautiful this weekend and hot enough to break out the shorts, so I happily obliged. This simple outfit was perfect to showcase my newest leopard purchase, a clutch from one of my favorite bloggers, Taylor from Curly in the City. I seem to have some sort of addiction now to leopard (a little leopard shirt is on its way to me now) and clutches (this is my second purchase from Taylor and let's not talk about the clutches I already owned). I think I need an intervention!!! Who has the number to a good shopping therapist? I also need to discuss how many is too many pairs of black shoes and is it crazy to stalk a website several times a day.

When the weather really warms up, what is the first thing you can't wait to put on?
