It's that time again...

I leave for the annual conference in about 45 minutes. I'll be there for a total of 9 days. I packed 11 pairs of shoes. I know it sounds extreme, but I had to bring a total of 15 outfits. most days I had to have two outfits - one for during the day to wear to rehearsals and one for an evening actity.
The show this year is "Moulin Rouge". I'll let you know how it goes... hopefully i'll be able to post while i'm there!!!
Wish me luck!!!

The new jacket

Odd... I was trying to find an online photo of the jacket that I got. So, I did a google search for Dries Van Noten, Spring/Summer '06. Plenty of sites with photos from his show came up. I looked through all of them and couldn't find an image of the jacket. I did, however, find one shot of the jacket in a different fabric: and one shot of a different jacket but in the correct fabric
so it'll take a bit of work to put it all together, but that's the general idea.
I'm planning on wearing the jacket with a pair of chocolate brown pinstripe pants and a solid chocolate brown shirt. The shoes? Brown pony skin lace up ankle boot. So there you have it.
