Roadtripping Fantasies

Before I say anything, I have to give credit for this idea to one of my favorite bloggers, Rhiannon of liebemarlene.com. She sells vintage clothing (and anyone who knows me knows I love vintage anything) and always has stunning photos to share. Sometimes she'll put together pretend outfits for pretend vacations, which is a cute idea. I couldn't resist doing my own, since sometimes I can't seem to pull my head out of the clouds!

I love traveling and sometimes I love clothes. When it comes to clothes, I'm all or nothing: t-shirt and jeans or blouse, pants, heels, jewelry, bag, the whole shebang. What I love most though is PLANNING. I plan everything: what to wear x day, what to eat, when to get my hair cut like x, etc. So pretending to be packing for a vacation is pretty fun to me.

Normally I just fantasize about trips; I have a long list of places I wish to see. However, there's one trip I have my heart set on, and WILL do (I'm saving now!). When I graduate in 2012, I want to take a roadtrip to Minnesota to see my family. I want to go north, then east, in order to see Grand Teton, Glacier National Park, and obviously Yellowstone. So I will be eating mac n cheese for the next couple of years to make this happen, and I don't mind a bit.

In the little picture I have in my head, I see two great lags of the trip: northwest hiking and Midwest prairie/small town hopping. So I would pack accordingly:




And of course I would have music with me: edgier, more energetic stuff for the grueling West and more mellow classics for the Middle.
