Off on my Holy Pligrimage!

On Sunday, 13/11/05, I am off to Milan, Mecca for Fashionistas. Of course there is a great deal of planning that goes on for this bi-yearly sourjon.

First there are the outfits I must pack, I mean we are talking FASHION CAPITAL here, I just can't wear any old thing. This starts the week before I leave, the packing and reppacking, the checking and rechecking of the weather channel. I mean the whole process is quite time consuming.

Second, there is the 'What I Need' vs 'What I Want to Buy' list to prepare, this takes weeks of exact preparations. Looking at the collections, trying to project what the sales are going to be, and when it really comes down to it, what money I have to spend; that is THE major determining factor.

Thirdly, and lastly it is just the idea of going to Italy, that just gets me all a dither and excited, which causes me to behave like a complete and utter idiot for the weeks before my departure.

All this stressing just isn't necessary, but secertly, it is lots of fun to prepare and control the factors of the departure. I won't know what I will find until I get there, so I have to have some known factors.
