I hope to show some dresses tomorrow but honestly, have had such a crazy, busy day today that it may just be an array of dresses strewn across the bed at this rate! Fab boots lined up for the post tomorrow so you must take a look. So lovely to hear from you again. Will drop by and put my intinery onto your blog so that you can see the entire route.

Will we get a preview of the gold before you leave? Love those brocade trousers on you.

You'll be the belle of ball/Captain's table. <br /><br />The trousers are really elegant and I adore the bag - it's very 60's isn't it with the op art design? I think a fur coat is an excellent idea as well. Can't wait to see more lovely frocks! x<br /><br />vronni60s.blogspot.comVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-49045630273547998942016-01-20T16:09:10.918+00:002016-01-20T16:09:10.918+00:00You need to be on the red carpet in that Green God...You need to be on the red carpet in that Green Goddess dress! Just take a red bath mat with you and have your husband lay it down every time you enter into the restaurant! You'll have everyone talking. LOL<br /><br />I'm like you and often drive myself a bit batty trying to figure out what to take on a trip. I did find that when we went on a cruise it was a bit easier since I knew I didn't need to keep lugging my suitcase around. I was able to pack big and then leave it in the cabin. <br /><br />I had fancy dresses for every night (of course I did! I'd never miss that opportunity!) and managed okay with all the unpredictable weather we encountered. We went to Alaska in September from Seattle. I had shorts, and coats in my suitcase. <br /><br />In the end I managed and if not, there is always the onboard shops! <br /><br />I still cannot believe you scored that dress for that little online. It looks like it was made for you.<br /><br />bisous<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-60970046868065042562016-01-20T15:54:18.335+00:002016-01-20T15:54:18.335+00:00I scrolled down!

I hate packing for trips - you know my trick, don't you? Take things you want to get rid of, and leave them behind to make more room in your luggage. Of course, I haven't cruised, just been on planes and needed 1 suitcase...Good luck with your capsule! <br /><br />Love those pants and the shiny shoes! We are shiny shoe twins today!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.com
