Great as a wrap for colder days and great on the plane as a blanket or even a neck support. The scarf/pashmina is a must.

I don't know if I mentioned it, or not, but I will be in Prague for one week also and will be at Leslie Caron's (Gigi, Father Goose) B & B in Burgandy for a weekend (www.lesliecaron-auberge.com). The weather will likely be in the low to mid-60's. In Prague I will wear mainly dark-washed jeans with a taupe/brown tweed blazer (longish, about 30 inches long) and lightweight sweaters underneath. I won't take athletic shoes and will take just one long dress for the ballet as they "dress" for opera/ballet. I find dresses and skirts not terribly practical when travelling since I don't do dresses without stockings and I can never find a comfortable shoe that looks really good with a skirt (imho). We have a day or two inbetween the trip to Paris and the trip to Prague and I will actually take two kinda separate wardrobes (I am allowed two bags on the plane, after all!) so I won't have to worry about laundry, etc. For Paris I have straight-legged pants in Bamboo (mid-brownish/khaki color), Thyme, Deep Brown (chocolate), and brown. I have one suit which is is a taupe with a tiny white pinstripe. I have twin sweater sets in mango (3/4 sleeves, which is my favorite as I am always too hot) and aqua and an "empire" sweater in wheat. I have lightweight 3/4 sleeve "nice" t-shirts in meadow green, lemonade, mango, aqua, and tangerine. I have short sleeved "nice" t-shirts in white, aqua, lavender, and pale yellow. I wanted more aqua/turquoise but most were sold out in my size. I got most of my things from Talbot's online, on sale. I do need a coat and I think the trench is perfect. I will take an umbrella and toilet seat covers! smile I ordered four pairs of shoes from Zappos and had to send them all back. I got ideas from www.most-comfortable-shoes.com but the European size 39 is too small for my left foot and the size 40 is far too wide! I am going to go to Macy's and Nordstrom's tomorrow looking for scarves (many European women wear these daily and I think I will try it) and shoes. Thanks so much for your help; what can I bring you from Paris? Love, Susan Hi Rebecca,

Imagine my delight when what you suggested is very close to what I have for the trip. I don’t know if I mentioned it, or not, but I will be in Prague for one week also and will be at Leslie Caron’s (Gigi, Father Goose) B & B in Burgandy for a weekend (www.lesliecaron-auberge.com). The weather will likely be in the low to mid-60’s. In Prague I will wear mainly dark-washed jeans with a taupe/brown tweed blazer (longish, about 30 inches long) and lightweight sweaters underneath.

Which will make me appreciate them even more next month! :) Beth, that outfit sounds beautiful! Since we are in a record heat wave, my dark colors are pretty much retired for the month of July.

I love shades of brown with blues, lavender, and pink. Imagine my delight when I logged on this morning… here I sit in my milk chocolate A line skirt, with teal paisley sleeveless wrap top.

(It's the teeniest, tiny Penneys you've ever seen in a storefront building. It's literally about 1/50th the size of the Penneys I've seen at malls.) So I go in there a lot, since I have so many options and all... ha Anyway, I was admiring the chocolate browns a few weeks back. I tried some on, and they are so flattering. I ended up with a chocolate, teal, and cream striped wrap-around blouse that is adorable. I have to agree that the colors are beautiful together!
