This is what I wore the day we embarked on our honeymoon trip to Africa. I’m currently in the process of editing over 2000 photos, but pictures from our trip will definitely be up soon! In the meantime, enjoy this “before” picture. I’ll warn you now that I’m several shades darker after my two weeks under African sun. 🙂
For the trip to Africa, we had been given forewarning that we needed to wear natural khaki colors and nothing bright to attract the animals. You can imagine my dismay as I live for the brights! I did manage to find a few pieces of clothing in my closet in neutral yellows and grays. My original plan of pairing my neutral tops with just jean shorts also ended up failing once I learned that blues apparently attract mosquitos (and malaria). Thankfully, a few days before we left for our trip I was able to find these perfect little olive green shorts at Macy’s. You can’t imagine how relieved I was!
And you are seeing correctly. I’m wearing sandals with no heel. *gasp!!* If I could walk in sand for several miles in heels, I would. But unfortunately even that will end up killing my feet. These sandals are gonna be just the ticket. 🙂
Oh you look SO stinkin' CUTE!!! I love those little shorts on you and the hello kitty shirt is perfect. I'm totally in love with the sandals too!
Welcome home! Can't wait to see the honeymoon photos!

No bright colors for the Color brigade queen?! *gasp* I'm glad you were able to find some cute pieces in more muted colors to make it through the trip!

Welcome back Kileen!
Can't wait for the honeymoon pics!
so excited for pics!! im sure you look perfect in non-brights, too 🙂
Huh, I had no idea blue attracted mosquitoes. Those sandals are cute but they're probably murder my feet just as bad as heels would. Can't wait to see more photos! And this new tan you hah.
such a cute look
the bag, shoes and hat are the best and those shorts look like they will be worn quite a bit
hope you had a fantastic trip

You are dressed so perfectly for a safari! I love HELLO KITTY…you look so cute! Definitely a good idea to go with the flat sandals on safari…I wore wedges during a West Indies Rainforest Hike (dumb!) on our honeymoon. I got a cut on the toe when I turned my ankle on a jagged rock. Boooo.
