These are sheets I use for my wardrobe. When faced with packing for a three month stay in Florida I turned to my sheets. As a premise I chose to create 14 different outfits using the assumption that each item would be worn regularly and in various combinations.

I don't have an unused sheet with me or I would provide you one to copy. If you can't see the heading above I will try to show it to you here and you can rig up your own kind of sheet to use for your wardrobe planning if you think this is an idea that might be useful to you.

Wardrobe Work Sheet

Bottoms Tops Accessories Need

Shirt/Blouse Jacket/Sweater/Vest Jewelry/Scarf Belt/Handbag/Shoes

Once you get the header made you can draw the boxes. Make copies and save at least one to make more when you need them.

To make a packing list:

Have a vision of what your days will be like while you are away.
Think in terms of catego

I wish I could reference where I got this useful tool from but it was so long ago that I found it that I have lost the source. If you originated this please let me know and I thank you for making my life easier for many years.

How On Earth Do I Pack For Three Months In Southern Florida?

This business of being a snow bird is new to us! What does one take? Well, here is what I have come up with so far.

This is the first of 14 outfits. My inspiration is Miss Janice from http://etiquettewithmissjanice.blogspot.com. This is a version of an outfit she put together.

This second one is just a Target khaki skirt and polo shirt with some pink and pearls added to the mix. I will use the pearls often.

This is adding some minty green.

Skinny JCrew khakis with lapis jewelry and blouse.

A Burberry look.

Aqua and coral gingham look.

Red.

Kelly green and navy.

Pale pink and aqua.

Pink and navy gingham.

Cream, coral and navy.

Pink and gray.

Strawberry Margarita!

Casual khaki and Navy.

My chic Granddaughter looking sharp, even riding in a grocery store cart, is another one of my style inspirations.

I am feeling pretty good about having assembled 14 outfits that will mix and match to cover everyday looks. Now to work on these categories :

Swimwear and gear

Exercise gear

Dresses

Golf outfits and equipment

Sleepwear

Everything for John

Lilly And Rain Gear

It is coming to the end of the week that I have been attempting to honor Lilly by wearing, at the very least, some pink and green. My Friday outfit also incorporates shoes and a handbag that repels water since it rains every day now.
I did hear on WJR that all this rain we have had this spring has now officially brought us out of the most recent drought that we have been experiencing for the last few years. I am grateful for this slow start to spring and will just try to dress accordingly.
