With our cruise 87 days out, I have decided to get my “cruise clothes” out of my closet. I need to see if anything still fits. I need to decide what I want to wear during the day, what I want to wear in the evenings, and what I want to wear at the different ports of call. I like knowing ahead of time what I’m taking. This allows me plenty of time to change my mind which I will probably do a million times between now and when we leave for our cruise. For me, it’s must the nature of the beast.
Since we are diving to the port, I do not have to worry about the weight of the luggage so that makes things a little easier. My husband and I typically share a large suitcase and we also have a garment bag that we take for our nicer clothes. NOTE TO SELF, might need a bigger garment bag, LOL!
I work from home, so the clothes I wear daily and not exactly anything I would want to wear on vacation. I have had to purchase some shorts and some capris and I may or may not have purchased some shirts. But anything I have purchased, I do not intend to wear before the cruise unless I decide I’m not taking them. In that case, I might return any new items. I did not have to purchase anything for either formal night as I have a couple of dresses, one old that I bought when my oldest son got married that I didn’t wear and one I bought from my last Stitch Fix box. I also have the dress I wore on our last cruise formal night but I think I want to do something different this time!
I’m not sure about shoes yet, but I should be good in that department. I will know more when I narrow things down. Right now, I have 6 pairs of heels that I’m considering for this trip. I don’t get out much so this is the only time I get to be all fancy!!!!
Either this Sunday or next Sunday, I might try-on clothes I’m considering for the cruise in hopes of getting some feedback. My husband usually does not have an opinion so he’s no help. For now, these are the 2 dresses I’m planning on for the formal nights on our cruise.
Which is your favorite???
