Vacation Outfit #1

In July we're going on a vacation to celebrate our anniversary.  We'll be visiting the Carmel, California area and then south along the coast toward Santa Barbara.  We'll have 9 days to relax and see the sights.
Even though we're not leaving for a few more weeks yet...I'm excited and planning my wardrobe.  This dress will be coming with me.  I can wear it as shown here with the cardigan or more casually with a denim jacket.  It's sleeveless, so when we travel inland, to the warmer Paso Roble area, it could be worn without a top layer.
I'm taking these sandals and also the hot pink ones that are almost identical because they're so comfortable for walking.  I'm planning my outfits around these two pairs of shoes...and possibly a brown pair as well.  
I will need to fit everything I'm taking into one small suitcase so I'll want to take as many mix and match pieces as possible to avoid overpacking.

 I'll be taking a different handbag that will match everything I'll be wearing, but these earrings will probably be making the trip because they're my favorites.

3 Outfits: I'm A Fan

Outfit 1: jeans $4.19 Mossimo, blouse $7 Lucky Brand, navy flip flops $2.99 Old Navy

I've been a fan of Elvis since I was around 8 yrs old.  My dad was a fan and had a sister that was/is a HUGE fan.  She even received a scarf from him at at one of the many concerts she attended.  She had taken old fashioned film footage at concerts and when I was in the 8-10 yr old range we'd go to visit her and her family (about 2 hrs away) they would make popcorn and set up the projector and we'd watch those films.  It was pretty exciting!  And then one day, when I was 15 yrs old, my dad got tickets for us to see him in person ourselves.  It is something I will never forget.  Forty years later I can still remember how it felt like an electric, frenzied current running through that whole place... and me.  I've never experienced anything like it since.
I found this t-shirt at the thrift store and decided to buy it...even though the neckline and style of the tee itself is not my favorite.  But these are some of my very favorite photos of Elvis and it only cost me $1.49 so I'm happy with it.

Outfit 2: black jeans $3.99 Forever 21, Elvis tee $1.49, black flip flops ?

 Outfit 3:  (more salmon) pants ? (I wear these alllll the time and somehow missed recording how much they cost and that drives me crazy, ha), tee $1.49 gnu, jean jacket ? (same thing...I bought this a few yrs ago and forgot to record price), purse $4.89, sandals $1.99 Apostrophe  ~~~necklace $4.49 via Fred Meyer

A New Color Blocked Purse and Bargain Sandals

 I'm not really the most "in the know" person when it comes to fashion terms, but I think this purse is what I would call an example of color blocking.
Whatever the term, I loved this purse.  It is in two of my favorite colors and will go with many of my outfits.

I also absolutely love my new sandals.  They are in a shade of dark salmon and cream similar to the purse colors.  They were only $1.99!  I also got a pair of hot pink ones of the same brand and for the same price that same day.  I don't have much to wear with the hot pink ones, but they were nearly identical to these and such a good price that I couldn't pass them up.
