Gone Camping!

I am packing for my vacation. No, I am not really a planner when it comes to vacations. This time it was a good thing, because my vacation plans got delayed. It was supposed to start last week but it turned out that my husband needed to take care of some things before we go and we had to stay home. It was because of some very good news for him, so I was not upset, but we had to reorganize.  In the last minute we decided to go camping for a week. Then we are coming back for one week and then going again, in another direction, that (can you believe it?) it is not yet clear at this point but it will not involve camping.

Going camping is a  a break from my usual routine, not to mention a challenge to live without pencil skirts for a week.

It is one of the instances when I figured out that if you cannot beat them you join them. So I am not one of those people that would bring the hair straightener and bunch of skirts to wear, despite the circumstances. I am taking a few pairs of shorts and tee shirts, longer pants, chambray and madras shirts, couple sweatshirts, rain coat and just in case two knit dresses for going out. The campground is located by the shore, so I will also have swimsuits and cover up, long brimmed hat, flip flops and Sperrys. That's about it.

I did not go camping for some time so we shall see how I will survive. But last year we did hat-to-hat hiking in the NH Presidential range, sleeping in triple bunk beds and eating food served family style with all the other hikers. Every morning at 6AM the Ivy League students that maintain the huts will wake us up with their singing. No shower for 5 days! Let me tell you, I had a blast!

I will be away, but guess what? I am sneaky and I scheduled several fitting room reviews posts for the next week. So you will see all the JCrew Fall 2012 items I tried on this week. I think my husband will divorce me soon, as it took all my free time. Thankfully we are going camping, so no Internet for me. But I will try to check your comments if I have a reception on my phone and reply to you if I can!

Mondays post will include a review of Jeweled collar sweater! I love it!

I see you next week and hopefully have some pictures from my vacations to show that I survived. Wish me luck!
