I Buy Stuff: Honeymoon Prep
IP and I have booked our honeymoon! We’ll be headed to Cancun in April. Greece is still on the table, though: it’ll either be our “Damn, we’re stuck in D.C. for longer, huh? Let’s take a later summer vacation, dammit!” trip or our “We’ve decided to have kids: this may be the last vacation in which we will have peace but lack poof-cheeked goodness!” Either way, the books on Greece that my sister got us for Christmas will be put to use either this year or next.
To prepare for the trip, I assessed my current inventory of summer clothes and determine that it’s drab. Drab-drab-drinsky. So I headed over to Old Navy to check out the things I’d been eying. With the help of my sister, I ended up with the following:

A few (more than few cute tops that’ll complement the skirts or shorts):



My sister specifically picked out the light sweater and tank below for the orange skirt pictured above:


And finally, I needed a new bathing suit. Lands’ End was having a sale. It was a match made in heaven:

And I’m not even close to done. Up next: new luggage, some shorts, and doing my best to resist buying this lovely dress from Athleta.com that I could also wear in Greece one day:
