Preparing for Vacation

The Photographer and I are researching destinations for our annual get away.  Although, we take several family trips throughout the year, we always reserve a week each year for just the two of us.  We feel it is important to spend some time alone - talking, reconnecting as a couple, etc.  Sort of a week-long date night, if you will.

While traveling, I like to look appropriate but want to be comfortable as well.  Although I have plenty of servicable skirts and dresses to take with me, I want to make a couple of new things to wear on our get away.  I was browsing pattern websites yesterday evening and decided on the following two items:

2906 Its so easy Simplicity Sewing Pattern Skirt Size A 8 tp 18

I will be making View A - the full skirt
 

I will be making View D - elbow length, cuffless sleeves

I have tons of fabric in my stash to choose from but, right off the top of my head, I know I have a retro looking blue fabric that I think would be darling made into the dress.  And the skirt pattern appears to be so easy that I will probably be able to complete it in one evening.
