I went to sleep thinking about what to take for our five to seven days with family in the Midwest. The long-range forecast says temps will be around freezing, which is colder than usual. I've had nearly all of this too long for it to be in finds I'll probably do a packing/help-me-pick-please post with photos closer to the time, but right now it looks like:
1. Black cotton fleece dress from Hannah Andersson, tall black boots, what tights and bottom layer shirt--black, plum shirt/Wolford tights, or gold sparkles?
2. Black bubble dress with blue hems from Lou & Grey/A. Taylor Loft, black l/s T-shirt, black or navy tights, blue rag socks, what shoes? Oxfords? Loafers with tights, no socks? Mary Janes?
3. Jeans of ink fabric & black velvet pattern with cranberry or green velvet top. Need a layer to stay warm--l/s leopard long john shirt? Black cardi? Something more festive? Loafers? Blush booties? Star garland as necklace?
4. Bootcut dark blue jeans with what? Booties, L/s white Hilfiger button down with tux ruffles, daisy embroidered belt, turquoise statement necklace (?) and some jacket or cardi? Or something too heavy to wear in Florida?
5. Fantasy outfit. or Soft Surroundings brown paisley leggings, chunky cream-colored sweater, booties?
(6 & 7 Tops to wear with pants from 3 & 4)
Plan A was to have a 24-hr layover in NYC, DC, or Atl, so either fit everything into very easy-to-manage carry-ons or check a bag and just carry what we need for overnight. That might not work out, schedule and budget-wise. We'll probably end up pulling 21" carry-ons, as usual.
