Where To Go On A Winter Break
I bet you can’t see me. Lol! I am on a “walk about.” My husband decided we needed a little break, and I let him have his way. I like to appease him when I can. Haha
I am at stop number one, my sister’s house. I love this ivy wall on the side of her garage. It is a nice break from my front porch and drunken snowman. I think it is about time he was put back in storage. When I get back in town I will have to start work on getting my “S” back in shape. I loved getting to see my sister and brother on my stop in Georgia. I hate that they are 6 hours away. My sister and I spent all day running errands for my mother. We went to a lady’s house to look at vintage jewelry and clothing, then we swung by a house to look at some vintage furnishings that were for sale. Even thought I am on a financial diet, I did manage to buy a hot pink clutch, a pair of silver earrings, a black pair of chandelier earrings, a fur leopard belt, a unique mesh bracelet for me, and a wrap bracelet with pink crystals for my grand-daughter. I bought all that for 25.00.
I will tell you now, I really stink at packing for vacations. I never even start to pack till the morning we are leaving. I basically go through my closet and pick out a bunch of shirts I like, a bunch of pants I like, and then I will throw in a dress or two, and hope I will be able to make outfits. The real issue I have this time, is shoes. I have taken all my summer shoes and put them away in an outdoor building. I managed to find a pair of leather flip-flops, a pair of off white wedges, and the red sneakers I wear occasionally. None of those worked for this outfit. I know, I was shocked too.
Here comes my sister to the rescue. How cute are these booties? This is a pair I picked out for my mother at the QVC outlet store, but my sister is the one who ended up with them. They are by Kathy Von Zeeland, and about a size too small for me. But, I wore them anyway. There was no way I would let comfort come before fashion. Lol!
I wanted to have some color with the outfit, so I added this long sleeve t-shirt from Old Navy in magenta. The scarf is one that my daughter bought me for Christmas. It is army green with gold specks, and goes just perfect with these pants. Here is where I wore these pants before. Here is a similar pair.
I am not really sure where we are going tomorrow. We have been talking about Orlando, Miami, or Key Largo, Florida. Since Miami and Key Largo are the furthest away, I bet we stop with Orland, but we will just have to wait and see. You will definitely want to check back in to see how well I did with packing at the last-minute. It could get comical. Hahaha

Going to FL in a couple of weeks! Worried about packing already?. Do you wear white shorts/pants in Florida in February?! Any tips would be appreciated.
I brought my white pants, Markene. I don’t know if I’ll get around to wearing them, but they would be something I would pack.
You look great! Have fun!!?
I agree with Isabel, you look so cute in everything I am stealing ideas and buying too. But I have found some incredible deals at Cato. I had not shopped there before. Might I also suggest, if you have a Clothes Mentor or Plato’s Closet in your area they are goldmines!!! I think my favorite part of this blog is the accessories. My husband says I should start a blog about my shopping finds 🙂
Isabel, you and Jill are so funny. Just come on down to Virginia and we will go shopping together. Lol!
