I am a classic overpacker. There are just so many variations the trip may take and I have to be ready for every single one of them. And I've always been a big fan of the mid-day outfit change. So I ended up packing for this 5 day trip: 9 dresses and 6 pairs of shoes. And I didn't do so badly at actually wearing them - at the end I had not worn 3 of the dresses, and 2 dresses I just wore for 30 minutes each to give them a turn, and I didn't wear one pair of shoes. That actually might be a personal best for use of things I've packed...
Anyway, back to what I wore.
I had a perfectly cute tennis-watching outfit picked out for Thursday night, but our flight was delayed so it made more sense to go directly to tennis instead of first to the hotel to change. I was a little upset to go to tennis in my comfy flight clothes and not my cute tennis-watching clothes, but I survived.
There is no way I will ever give you a full on swimsuit pic, but here's a seated in coverup swimsuit shot from one of the days. This is all I will give you.

This was my fancy-shopping outfit, meaning the outfit wasn't fancy, but the shopping was. I sometimes give Mr. EWP a bunch of options to pick from for what I wear. I'm nice like that. And by nice I mean I think he finds it annoying as he mostly never cares what I wear, but for some odd reason he really really liked this dress and insisted I wear it. You will recognize it as Miami dress #1. I was leaning towards something designer as we were going to some pretty fancy stores, but Mr. EWP was all about this $45 Nordstrom dress (that's regular price, folks. Not sale), so I wore it. Just shows it doesn't have to be fancy for the fellas to find it pretty. And luckily no one threw me out of their stores.
This is Miami dress #2 that I bought for the trip. It was short and sassy and I thought it'd be fun for Miami. I wore it, wait for it... to watch the Final Four at a bar. Yup, nothing says basketball watching like a short dress, elephant necklace (Mr. EWP's fave necklace) and 6 inch heels.
While I was, per usual, ready to wear all dresses all the time, I realized that maybe a dress on an airboat was not the best idea. Didn't want to distract people from watching gators by having them watch my skirt fly up. So I had to dig out some non-dress items to wear (seriously mean dig out, the shorts were lodged under a bunch of clothes in a storage bin under the guest bed).
No pictures of our dinner out to BLT Steak because Mr. EWP dies a little inside each time I snap a pic in a restaurant. So I'll just tell you I wore this DvF dress.
Coming up next: details of my trip to the fanciest shopping mall I have ever been to!
