My youngest was so wound up last night driving both her sister and I batty that I took her out for a very long walk at 6:30 and we made it back by 9. That’s way past the time I like her to get ready for bed but with the past couple of weeks going though a heat wave she didn’t get out and spend long periods of time in it. I think it was catching up to us. She’s still at the age where she enjoys going out for walks with me so I put off getting this post done until we got home. I hate scrambling around trying to get them done before bed but I was hoping to tire her out, which actually backfired because she came home all hyper and was bouncing off the ceiling :/
Do you remember the game Mastermind for the 80’s? A couple of weeks ago I was telling the girls about it and was thinking of buying it from Amazon for them because I saw they reissued it. We were in the dollar store looking for some headphone cords and toured down the toy aisle and what did we see? The same Amazon version but for $4 (except they call it Codebreaker). I thought it was a weird coincidence since I hadn’t even thought about the game in years until I told them about it.
Back to business, and this post which offers 24 outfit options from all the pieces in the What to Pack for Italy and Greece packing list. It is for late November/early June. The original post gives details about the trip, and why I made these selections. This week I decided to focus completely on one retailer, H&M. I have a been a loyal customer for years and always find some gems when I go through the stores. I did a try-on of a few of these pieces a couple of days ago and will get a post up about them in the next day or so. But for today’s post I will let you know that you probably need to size up on the polka dot blouse because it has darts at the waist line which make it a tighter fit. I loved the polka dot dress. It seemed true to size, has fitted gathered, slightly poufy sleeves (in a cute way) with a shirred elastic waist and has pockets. It also comes in a vibrant orange-red which is popular this season.
With 24 outfits for a 12 day trip there should be no issues coming up with something to wear. Now that the heat wave broke and fall is truly in the air it is easier to get in to the mindset of putting together fall outfits. I hope you enjoy these.
I finished The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. So good, so heartbreaking, so horrifying. Remind me that if I ever get a chance to time travel not to go to England 1348.
