Decisions, Decisions: Planning Way Ahead

Standard

I was going to possibly, maybe, do an Oscar dress review.  Honestly I’ve been Awards Season coveraged to death.  I will say I am totally in love with Lupita Nyong’o (that dress)!  And that’s all I’m going to say about that.  Besides, I’ve had other ensemble planning sessions on my mind…

Ok, so you guys, I cannot contain my excitement any longer! It looks like I’m going to Walt Disney World this year after not setting foot inside a Park since 2007 (I know, that is a long ass time).  I owe it all to a meet up I attended last year and made some great friends there.  This won’t be happening until the fall but I’m already outfit planning.

 

I'll see you soon Gorgeous!

I’ve started calculating which shirt I could wear to each park.  Me, being me, I know I’m going to make some purchases way before the summer even gets here.  Like a crazy person, I’ve already decided on one complete outfit.  It’s going to be something retro and perhaps reminiscent of the 70’s in honor of the Magic Kingdom’s opening date.  I have two shirt options for this one.  There are also a few elements I still need like cute yet comfy sneakers.  Although I wore holes in them, my PF Flyers were both of those things.  I might just buy myself a replacement pair.

Is this ridiculous?  Most likely but this is how my brain works!  I get super excited and immediately I’m doing a mental run through of costume changes.  What’s the weather going to be, what accessories I might need, and pieces I don’t have but will want.  Do I have new looks to put together?  More importantly, how many times is there evidence?  Have I been photographed, facebooked, instagramed in something to death?  If I purchase a piece now will I be able to hold off wearing it before the main event?  SO MANY THOUGHTS.

Do you jump the shark?  I hope you’re optimistic like me, and start planning right away!  Is there any packing or getting ready rituals you keep?  Are there any items you always take with you? Please tell me you’re an over-packer like I am.  I always like having some type of itinerary so that I can coordinate costume changes.  How many outfits per day or activity? There is so much to consider, even if it’s just a long weekend vacation.  I’d love to hear what your strategy is.   Leave me a comment or even tweet me.

I’m going to Disney World!!!
