Vegas Baby

Okay, I've finally gotten my laundry done and am ready to post the outfits that I'm packing for Vegas. After I took the pictures, it didn't look like enough clothes, but looking at the stack next to the suitcase, it looks like a ton. I'm so bad about over packing. I always tell myself that I'm not going to but then I get scared that I'm not going to have enough once I get there. I can not figure out how travel columnists say they only pack a couple of things and mix and match outfits while on a trip. Even if you do mix and match, I feel like I need several options to mix with.

Anyway, I guess I'll start with the casual clothes since that's the majority of what I'm packing. I'm still not positive what the weather will be like while we're there. The forecast at this point is calling for temperatures in the high 70's and lows in the high 50's. So, a little bit cooler than it is here. But, I'm not sure how humidity factors into that since I've heard there is no humidity there. So, because I'm not exactly sure how the weather will turn out, you'll see lots of scarves accessorized in the following pictures. Here we go...

I guess let's start with my outfit for the plane. It is a gray tank top with my most comfortable jeans, a red scarf, black flip flops, and my zebra print carry on. I will also pack a 3/4 sleeve, black cardigan just in case the plane is chilly.
The following is the rest of my casual stuff. Mostly shorts and t-shirts with a dress thrown in for fun. The strapless dress is actually a bathing suit cover up for the pool but it's so pretty I had to post it.


And now for the dressier stuff. I'm packing two dresses and two dressier pants outfits. I'm still not convinced I have enough dressy stuff but I really don't want to go out and buy anything else. I may pack a little black dress just in case. I could pair it with my hot pink shoes, or the black ones, and be pretty set. Anyway, here is the stuff that is definitely going:



I haven't gotten too far with accessories yet. I figure lots of sparkly, dangley earrings to go with the dressy stuff. Also probably a couple of big, flashy cocktail rings, some long necklaces, and a couple different color clutches and I'll be set. The casual stuff doesn't really require much accessorizing. I'll probably stick with my standard- wedding ring, diamond studs, a delicate necklace, flip flops and sunglasses. Speaking of sunglasses, I got two really cute new pairs over the weekend. I already have a pair of oversize tortoise shell-look glasses, but I got a pair of oversize black glasses (just in case I need to go incognito), and a pair of silver aviators. The silver pair are SO cute and make me feel very hip and trendy.

So that's it. Time for your opinions. Do you think I'm packing enough? Not enough? The right kind of stuff? Let me know what you think. Only 5 more days to tweak my choices!!
