Alaska Wardrobe Planning

We're not leaving for awhile yet, but I've been feeling a little panicky about preparing for the trip, so I decided to start the packing process now.  This is possible because it's now in the 90s and higher here in Arizona weather-wise, and I do not need to use my sweaters and long pants!

I made some outfits based on a few solid bottoms.

Black lace-print pants

with

1.  mint green blouse +  striped black & white sweater

2.  "Ahoy" sequined sweater

2.  watercolor print blouse & black sequined bow cardigan

After about six months of searching, I finally found a ballet-pink bag!!!

It can be used cross body . . . 

. . .  or like a lunchbox!
And look at the LIPS closure!

Lulu Guiness via JC Penney -
the color in this photo is truer.  The bag is a blush pink.

Look at the inside polka dots!

A whale cardigan!!!
I saw this displayed with a navy & white striped shirt and LOVED it.

Perfect for a cruise.

And only $15 on sale - woo-hoo!

And some beautiful mountains we drove by on Sunday coming home from a wedding!

I LOVE living near the mountains!

When we get back from the cruise, my DEAR SWEET friend Cindy and I are going to drive up into the mountains and hike around a bit . . . and I CAN'T WAIT!

Because of health stuff, I haven't done much hiking the last two winters and I haven't taken any road trips, but I'm feeling pretty perky and am very excited to get up in the cool mountains soon!
