It has been super hot here the past few days (like 100 degrees hot) so while trying to stay as cool as possible outside, I still need a jacket for that indoor arctic air conditioning.
Pics 1 - 6 are WIW this past week (RIP skirt/Macy's/J Crew/J Crew Factory/Old Navy). The skirt in #3-5 is my favorite fun skirt; it's not very figure flattering but I just don't care as I love the print and it's oh so comfortable and cute. The pants in pic 6 are from some internet shop  - I never purchase form random internet shops but in my defense, I had just gotten off an 8 hour flight, was waiting on a connecting flight (five hours plus a 1 1/2 hour delay) so I was delirious and very tired, a bad combination then shopping!

Pics 7-17 are wiw on our recent cruise to Norway. 
#7 was my travel outfit for the 8 hour flight to London. Loft sweatshirt (tee shirt underneath in case it was warm on the plane) and my favorite Old Navy somewhat dressier sweatpants. My objective was comfy clothes so I could attempt to sleep on this overnight flight. 
Pics 8 - 13 were what I wore to dinner on the ship (Macy's/Loft/BR/Eddie Bauer), and everything mixed and matched for multiple wears over the 12 days. The pants in 8,9,11 are slim fits, not skinnies. I almost never wear these except when traveling - I'm kind of off the slim fit style but these pack so well they always end up in my suitcase. This is where I really want to spice up my travel wardrobe  I feel like I need more color and more style, not just clothes that pack well, 
Pics 14-16 are wiw on sea days and scenic cruising days, and were my favorites of the cruise. Those Gap baggy pants are sublimely comfortable and entirely UN-figure flattering (when I turn sideways I look like I've walked off with bags carrying half the buffet, LOL), but I don't care! I am in love with them and ordered a second pair in a different color when I got home. 
Pic 17 is wiw on a hike in Geiranger, Norway. This is typical of what I wore on other excursions as well; LL Bean pants, tee shirt or fleece, depending on the weather. 
Pics 18-19 - Scenic pics, I brought my puffer (I brought a rain coat too) and  paw print hat for cold days. I always bring a colorful hat so I can be easily identified in a crowd.
Pics 20 (a terrible selfie) and 21 - "The Top of the World" North Cape, the northernmost point In Europe
Pic 22 - The Seven Sisters Waterfall, and pics 23-24, scenic cruising.

Over to you - do you give up a little figure flattery in favor of prints/fits/whatever that you just plain love? And how about your travel wardrobe? Do you only bring items that pack well or do you say "the heck with it" and bring extra luggage?
