I have nothing to wear!

awheartsdw · Jan 14, 2015

We are leaving in a little less than one month and I have nothing to wear! I checked the extended forecast for when we will be in Disney and it shows high 60's during the day and high 40's/low 50's at night. I know the responses will be 'wear jeans'. They're just not comfortable to me to wear alllllll day. I was so hoping for all of the cute dresses I wore this summer, but that's not going to happen so now I have to redo my packing list. I haven't been to Florida in February in many, many years and can't recall what I used to pack. I don't do capris, I don't like them. Any other suggestions? Or last minute ideas?

Birthday suit?

DH certainly wouldn't mind, but could be a bit precarious when getting on and off of rides!

maxi dress and a cardigan? you could wear leggings under the maxi dress if its cold.

I'm in the same boat as you as far as going in February and having no idea how to pack.

if the dresses allow/match, could do leggings or tights underneath. easy enough to put on/take off as the weather changes. ditto the cardigan idea from @catfury

Leggings with a t-shirt and long cardi? I'm not a huge fan of "leggings for pants" but I've heard American Eagle leggings are super comfy and thicker than others.

@Wildflower keeps beating me to all the good advice these days!

I concur: wear the cute dresses if you want, with layering pieces. A little dress looks great with a cardigan sweater, tights or leggings, and a pair of Chuck Taylors. (Examples here: http://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com/2014/08/winter-outfits-dresses-and-leggings.html)

If that's just not your style, defer to chinos or cargo pants instead of jeans, with some cute, comfy cotton tops (preferably blends with spandex, for less wrinkle-proneness), and cardigan sweaters, hoodies or a quilted vest. Also, keep checking that forecast and throw one of those summery dresses into your suitcase anyway, to use as a swimsuit coverup and an unexpected-warm-weather option -- the forecast may change dramatically between now and your travel time!

I was thinking maxi dresses with cardigans. Didn't even think about the leggings route. Men have it so much easier, that, and generally they just don't care! But think of all of those pictures that we want to look cute in! Have an amazing time on your trip. I'll let you know what I end up taking and what I end up wearing!

I think that may be the route I have to go. Seems great minds think alike on this board today!

My motto has always been "leggings are not pants" but in this instance, I may need to make an exception! I will check out AE, thanks for the tip!

I keep hoping it warms up, and to think, I fretted over what I was going to wear during our summer visit, that was a breeze compared to this. I have a few ideas in mind now, but wow, what a head scratcher!

Well, considering weather forecasters are notoriously poor at predicting what the weather will be more than two or three days out, I wouldn't even worry about checking the forecast until a week out. We are leaving two weeks from today and I won't even check until a week from now. I know you ladies have a more difficult time choosing a wardrobe then us guys during times when the temps can range from the 40's to 80's so best of luck.

You can throw a hoodie on with anything and be set with temp ranges like that! Women, not so much. I will keep my eye on the weather. Have a great time on your trip!

There are a bunch of cute Disney inspired legging out there - I saw a pair of Little mermaid ones on Zulily today.

They could be really cute and fashionable on the right legs

...on my legs she may end up looking like Ursula

Figaro928 · Jan 14, 2015

...From all I've read about visiting Florida in February, the key is layering...

...or a birthday suit

So in other words, birthday suit with a scarf!

I found some really nice cotton/spandex pants on LLBean, called Perfect Fit pants. They come in various cuts - straight, boot, slim - and the usual colors - black, navy, grey heather. With the all important elastic waist band ('cause you never eat too much at Disney lol). Very comfortable, don't bag and more importantly, nice enough to wear to work. I'm bringing several pairs for our trip this weekend. You should check them out.

I will definitely take a look, thanks for the shopping tip! Have fun this weekend!

I have nothing to wear!
