It's been ages since I've given much thought to my wardrobe. For the past couple years, life has been completely driven by other things. At some point, I'll post in off-topic. But, for now, I hope you're up for helping me pack for a week in Cleveland.

Most of the trip is about spending time with David's family, but he'd also like to see several old friends while we're there. Dress will range from casual to nice casual. Highs will be in the upper 60s, lows in the upper 50s. I run extremely hot, so I want to look Fall-ish, but I don't want to dress warmly.

I've been catching up on the blog and the forum lately trying to figure out if I still look even remotely current. Most of this stuff is several years old. I can't tell if I'm keeping up or being left behind ;-). Would you please give me your thoughts and suggestions?

Here's what I'm planning to take.
5 blouses (1-5 years old)
2 sleeveless knits (4-20 years old)
2 lightweight cardigans (1-15 years old)
3 slim ankle jeans (3-4 years old)
4 shoes--slip on sneakers not pictured (1-8 years old)
2 knit tops for hanging out and helping around the house.

Pics 2-11 are some outfit options. My picture taking ability is still lousy. Hair is a mess and no makeup, but I will do a bit better when I'm dressing for real ;-). The colors in the selfies are all a bit off. The pile of clothes on the floor in front of the window is very accurate for colors.

What works? What doesn't? Please tell me if anything makes it obvious that I've been living in a bubble for two years. Any ideas to improve?

Thanks! I've missed you all. Hope to have more time for wardrobe fun soon!
