From Flagstaff to Tampa: What to Wear in Two Different Climates
1 Jan
Yesterday I showed you what I packed for two very different climates. Today I’ll show you how I actually wore those items!
Now, I took the week off from taking outfit photos so you get Polyvore recreations instead. Close enough, right?
And thus ends 2012! Thanks again to Jen, Heather, Maggie, and Kim who guest posted for me while I traveled. And thanks to all of you for reading, commenting or telling me in person that you love my blog. I hope your holidays were wonderful!
I’m back to work tomorrow so regular outfit posting will resume shortly.



A reader recently contacted me and asked for help with a pair of ankle boots she just bought.
Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying.
Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.




Love the Polyvore boards — so fun!
I think my fave is the last one, with the animal print belt and pearls.
Pretty sure I could waste entire days making Polyvore boards. They’re so fun!!
I like the backdrops you added! And the hands on the jeans. LOL. They are making me laugh.
I know! Why can’t models just stand without their hands touching the clothes? It makes it hard to cut them out!
LOL! You might be able to get rid of those in Photoshop! But I was only being funny by mentioning them
Yay for staples such as jeans and white pants which can be interchanged with nearly everything!!! Sounds like you had some great travels over the holidays. Happy 2013 to you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy 2013 to you, too!
Wow, I am seriously impressed at your packing skills, two climates with that much of a difference in temperatures is hard to pack for alone, much less when it’s only for ten days! I love how you took the silver boat shoes and made them so fancy with that last outfit, that is just all kinds of coolness going on there. (And now you have me thinking that my wardrobe needs a pair of silver boat shoes!)
I hope that you got to have a really fun and amazing time on your vacation and that Christmas was really wonderful with your families. Happy New Year Erin, glad to see you back!
Those silver boat shoes have been worn to death. I should have bought a back-up pair last year!
We had lots of fun on our vacation. Skiing and seeing the Gulf of Mexico in one trip? Lots to do!
Happy New Year!
