Sometimes, life just throws a lot your way. This week we had a family birthday, Independence Day (I hosted), a root canal, and other assorted challenges and hiccups, but the most significant is the fact that we would LIKE to go to Europe next week and my older daughter’s passport has yet to arrive.
To say this takes over your life is an understatement.
We have no flexibility in our travel days, so we are stuck waiting, and I have spent HOURS of my life on the phone this week trying to get it handled.
I’m an optimist, though, and even though we are cutting it much closer than I would like, I still believe it will arrive in time and we will get to go on this little getaway with the girls. We all need it.
In the meantime, I’m allowing myself to plan my European travel cluster as if the trip was definitely happening, and I’ve settled on an all-dress cluster similar to the one I showed in Tuesday’s video for the Fantasy European Getaway. 6 Dresses + 1 Jacket.
Unlike Tuesday’s video, I own everything in this cluster. Here are the pieces I plan to take.
Everything here can be shopped in this catalog.
But why do you count an extra item? That’s because I am trying to decide between the jumpsuit and the Daniel Rainn dress. Which one would you take? Let me know in the comments!
In addition to the cluster, I’m also taking this Temu two piece linen set as a travel outfit. You can use my code pick9946 on the Temu app to get more discounts.
Pic is also linked. This is a stylish and affordable travel outfit.
And now for the accessories. I’m keeping the jewelry simple and subtle, but I like to follow the rule of 3s when it comes to shoes: a fashion sneaker, a flat, and a dressier shoe.
What do you think of my travel wardrobe? And should I take the dress or jumpsuit as the 6th item? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks Lynda! I agree! Especially since I’m usually cold!
Nada Manley says
Thank you so much! I think I will take it!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this Barbara. I share your concerns. It’s a challenge because many of the items we buy are made in China, and this is definitely something I will think about going forward. I reviewed this brand based on a lot of requests. I do have reservations about buying from Amazon, WalMart, Target etc for the same reasons.

Take the jumpsuit. You never know when you may feel the need for more leg coverage. And it’s nice to have an alternative.
Jeanette says
I would do the jumpsuit, just to have some variety:) have fun!

I am surprised that as a fellow Christian you support Temu. Maybe you didn’t know this, but It is a company in China that offers such low prices because of using child labor. I can’t knowingly put more money into a country that does not value children, despises America, and is anti-Christian. Yes, we all purchase items online, only to later find that were made in China, but buying from Temu is blatantly putting price first instead of personal values.
