I'm going to Savannah with my husband for a long weekend next week. I wanted to get new stuff and found everything I needed at TJ Maxx!

Outfit 1: we are hoping to enjoy nightlife - bars, tapas, dancing, etc. aqua.jpg
I got the aqua dress that can take me from day to night. I can look at art galleries and museums in this - with flip flops, then put on strappy heels and some more jewelry and it is ready for night!

Outfit 2: I have black shorts and I wanted a cute top that was dressier than a T-Shirt that would not show sweat. So I can walk around HOT Savannah all day and not have wet spots on my shirt. I found this cute flowered blouse with silver sequins on it.

Outfit 3: I wanted a pair of shorts that were nicer than my kahki and denim ones so I could wear them to hang out in all day, go to lunch, museums, etc. Then wear after the trip to work or events at my kids school. I got these. They look good with black/white tops and brown. I might go back for a white Izod to go with them. I can't decide if that will look too old.

And last but not least, a new SWIMSUIT for hot tub time with my honey at our hotel.

racheleroy,

You look like you are set and ready to go on your trip. Those are some great, versatile finds!! Thanks for sharing them with us! I really like the dress which will take you from day to night. The look seems simple yet classy and the shoes next to it will give it just the right touch.

Shopping for a vacation can be tough sometimes but you've made it look so easy!

racheleroy,

AWESOME post! With the photo descriptions I can totally picture these outfits in my head!

As far as the 'white Izod' idea... wear fun, bold colored earrings and bracelet and there is no way you'd look too old!

Have a super fun vacation and of course post photo's when you get home!
