Just a Little Time

I didn't mean to abandon you guys, but I went away for a long weekend. Hope you all have a great weekend and that this view of mine doesn't accumulate more white stuff:

Day to Night in the Hot Pink Shorts

Day 2 of our vacation and we had activities planned from day to evening, so I needed another outfit that could pull double duty.

Look how hot it was, my face was melting.

Yes, I walked out of the casino $20 bucks richer. Big money!!!

We ended the evening with something I've never tried before and I made sure to get nice and pretty for it.

The drive-in movie theater!!! I felt like I was in the movie Grease. Stranded at the drive-in....

I was in Florida and felt like I should bring my Golden Girl's floral blazer just in case. Definitely didn't need it with the warm, night air blowing through the open car windows. Although we live in an time of great technological advances, there's nothing better than something old-school like this. Seriously, why can't I enjoy X-Men (or any movie) from the hood of a car more often??

What's something from the past that you miss?

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?

Back to Reality....Soon

My honey and I spent a nice, long weekend in Ft. Lauderdale and sadly our fun in the sun has come to an end. Oh, how I cried to leave this view behind:

Seriously, I can still feel that breeze!!

Now, I don't know about you guys, but airport dressing is a bit of a stressful fashion occasion. How do you stay chic, feel comfortable and not be a hot mess when you reach your destination? It seems like celebrities don't have quite the same issue:

So I took a page from their book and just kept it simple.

A simple maxi dress for the hot weather, mixed with a blazer for the cool airplane temps equaled easy peasy, ready for a getaway. I added some dangly earrings for interest and although this outfit is a little too simple for my liking, a leopard belt was added later because no outfit is complete without some rowr.


What's your airport dressing formula? Do you find dressing for a vacation stressful?
