summer vacation

means one must pack a suit case...and decide what to take. I always take a bit too much, because I don't know exactly who I will be....what mood, other than happy to be on vacation, will I be in. I always default to tomboy and comfort...that means cowboy boots, Converse, jeans, Tshirts, silver and turquoise. Oh wait, that's pretty much my daily uniform.

Sunny California ! look...Willows and Stockton get a Dot, but not Napa (not yet!)

 



Look, in 1951, Elizabeth Taylor is packing for something....going somewhere....

Striped tshirts and cotton knit dresses.
Little sweaters for easy cover-ups in chilly air conditioned restaurants.
a hat...and 
I always bring bandanas and scarves because they add some pizzazz to any outfit and you can even tie them in your hair.....
