Hoorah! As you are reading this, I am somewhere high up in the clouds, on my way to my baby. And Spain!
In case you are wondering what I’m wearing as I float far, far way, you’re in luck! It’s this outfit! Plus a really cozy sweatshirt trench. I wanted something that would be easy and comfortable, but not wrinkle. And also something I would still fell a little glamorous in once I disembarked in Mallorca. This jumpsuit fits the bill. It’s jersey, so it doesn’t wrinkle, and it’s all one piece, so it won’t get rumpled and un-tucked. Genius! And the scarf is very comforting to me- Nate brought it from India the first time he went, and it’s soft, snuggly and chic all at once.
I will wear the sweatshirt trench, which is also soft and cozy, for my flight, and then take it off when I reach my departure. It’s like an entirely new outfit! Awesome.
What I can’t decide at this moment in time is what my feet will be wearing. I’ll let you know at a later date.
So this is something that I purchased at an event so titillating that my heart is racing ever so slightly at the mere thought! The Marshall’s Final Clearance event. This happens twice a years, and things get marked down to $5, $3, and my favorite, $1. What joyous happenings! I just grab and grab and grab.
This piece was $3, and worth every penny! I wore this to a Rocky Horror rehearsal this spring, then threw on a some jewelry and wore it to see Sweet Charity at Trinity Players in Poughkeepsie and go to their cast party. It made the transition so easily! That’s my favorite thing about this.
I went to the cast party because I was originally a part of the cast, but I had to drop out in April when I needed surgery on my hip. Trinity only rehearses on Sundays, so they have a long rehearsal process, and I made it halfway through. I had spent many Sundays with this cast, and they were all such wonderful people. Honestly, one of the sweetest casts I’ve ever known.
I ended up seeing the show twice, and at times I felt crushed not to be on the stage. But mostly just proud of the entire cast, and especially the lead, Carolyn, who is such a wonderful person, and so wonderfully talented. Um, and gorgeous! I feel blessed to have gotten to know her during this show, and I was amazed at how she grew into her character.
And also my friend Cate, who filled in for me with very little time to spare and did an amazing job. She is always magnetic on stage, and I love to watch her perform.
The cast party was wonderful, even though I was still on crutches and pretty uncomfortable. The food was fantastic, and the director gave out awards to the entire cast. It was such a supportive, positive and joyous atmosphere. Truly a family. I’m so glad to have been a part of that, however small!
I know that you are wondering what will happen to this project while I’m off concurring Spain. Have no fear! I really hope to continue in real time when I can. And when I can’t I will have some back-up posts go up, like this one. I am hoping not to miss much. But, here are some fun Halloween-related clothes coming soon, so stay tuned!

**This was a great piece for travel!  As far as wrinkles go.  As for convenience of using the restroom…not so much.  But that’s what you get with rompers!
