Some outfits for Western Caribbean

[kittyness]

I'm taking my first cruise next month on a Western Caribbean itinerary on Carnival. I've been browsing these boards since January and I'm so excited! I'd like to show some of the outfits I've put together so far for some feedback. Obviously this isn't enough for the whole week but I ran out of time so I'll post more in the next few weeks. Thanks for looking and I appreciate all comments!

 

(I got this all typed up and none of the pictures are working. I had to put links instead.)

What? No bathing suit for that sea day????

[CruisinCrow]

I LOVE the purple dress for elegant night. It's gorgeous!

 

For sea days on Caribbean cruises, I've found that most people are in bathing suits, cover-ups and shorts unless they're going to afternoon tea or lunch in the main dining room.

 

Have an awesome cruise!

I'm not done! hahaha I ran out of time to take pictures. And I'm waiting on some new ones to arrive that I bought online. :D

 

That strapless white and turquoise dress will probably serve as a cover up for my white bathing suit.

Like others, I love this dress!

I love that first pink dress! (actually love them all) I see it's vintage, do you mind my asking where you got it?

[LittleJeanne]

All your selections are cute and your love of vintage shines through.

I got both dresses from Etsy dot com. I get my jewelry from Etsy, resale shops (Goodwill, Value Village, etc.), and garage sales. I also have several pieces from my deceased grandmother that I absolutely love. The flower brooch on the pink dress was hers. She had polio as a child and her legs were deformed from it. She was essentially immobile for the last 15 years of her life and never got to travel. By taking the brooch with me, I'm taking her on the cruise with me. Hopefully she'll enjoy it as much as I will. =)

 

I do have regular modern clothes. hahahaha
