That black dress with the red bag is so classy and elegant, wow! The yellow jacket is also pretty, and what a cool leather jacket. We must have our leather jackets, that's for sure. I still have the same one I've had for so many years; they never go out of style. How fun planning your wardrobe, in anticipation of a lovely trip. <br /><br />That white cockatoo is so special. I think I'd stare at it for a long time if it came around my neck of the woods.<br /><br />love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-32004136464645290482014-08-25T08:03:32.310-07:002014-08-25T08:03:32.310-07:00Hello Patricia,

What fun you are going to have and the yellow jacket with the black dress look to be absolute winners. How clever of you to be able to make a dress perfect for so many occasions and to fit like a dream no doubt. It looks as if it can be the answer for so many occasions, it will be like having a best friend with you!<br /><br />Safe travelling and enjoy!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-35828289219733288182014-08-25T05:24:12.396-07:002014-08-25T05:24:12.396-07:00The black dress is so classic, I'll bet you lo...The black dress is so classic, I'll bet you look stunning in it.

I would think a black tee and the yellow jacket would go with them too! Unless the fabrics are all wrong. It's very cool here at the moment, so don't forget to bring a woolly or two just in case! Still, in Europe it can easily warm up quickly again, so we'll keep fingers crossed for you!

I have a friend who buys clothes at a charity shop for her trip, then discards them as she goes along and purchases souvenirs (she's a knitter like me, and the souvenirs are usually yarn!). I'm sure one of these days she's going to end up flying home stark naked. <br /><br />Your dress and shirt are perfect. The faux leather jacket is nice as well, but I'm wondering if it is a bit heavy? Maybe the faux leather is lighter than actual leather. ??

Right now here in England it is cooler than we would normally expect for the time of year, so I imagine that Paris is the same, so the same would also apply about layers. I hope that you have a great time whatever the weather, and I am sure that both Italy and Paris will have some good clothes shopping if you need to add a layer or two! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-15513483963025447202014-08-21T04:54:30.394-07:002014-08-21T04:54:30.394-07:00Vivienne's Files would congratulate you on you...Vivienne's Files would congratulate you on your travel ensembles.
