As I type this long overdue post, I am currently cruising at
an altitude of 38,012 ft over the lovely state of New Mexico...Albuquerque to
be exact! (I just love an in-flight moving map) With about an hour and a half
left in my cross-country journey to my future new home, I thought it would be a
lovely idea to catch up on some long overdue rambling! And what better topic to
ramble on about than airport attire?! I mean come on people; I know
you probably have some idea about
what I want to say....
Yes, you
guessed it! I want to go ON and ON about what on this dear sweet planet
possesses people to wear things like pajama pants, socks with sandals, velour
tracksuits, etc. out in public...and to schlep across airports in front of mass
amounts of people no less! I know that ANYONE who has been in an airport in the
last decade has seen the travesty that I so vehemently speak of.
Personally, I hold fast to the tried and true mantra of “you never
know who you’ll meet today.” I mean, what if you are seated next to the man of
your dreams, or someone who could hire you on to their Fortune 500 company
someday?! I assure you friend, you won’t impress them with those hello kitty
jammies or that tracksuit, Juicy Couture or not! Now, I am not suggesting that the airport has to be your
personal runway every time you travel, unless you just like to werk it for fun...by
all means strut on! I just think it is important to put your best face forward
at all times, especially when you will potentially be sharing close quarters
with a stranger (who could end up being someone important)! C’mon friends, are
blue jeans and a nice top really so uncomfortable? How about a loose flowing
cotton dress? I will even let leggings & a well kept sweater slide by under
the caveat that it covers your tush & is climate appropriate for your
destination! Chic and comfortable can go hand in hand! I PROMISE!!
Anytime I travel somewhere new, I try to think of it as my
own debut of sorts into that particular city, state, or culture even. I want
the people I come in contact with to get a little glimpse of who I am, what I
am all about! I personally think it says a lot about someone when he or she
chooses to forego easy, sloppy comfort in favor of a well-coordinated and
fashionable traveling ensemble.
Here are some fancy airport appropriate duds that I've got my eye on...
green pants add a fun touch to this relaxed top
maxi skirts are great for travel, comfortable and long enough to provide a little warmth on chilly plane rides
A light weight sweater paired with clean-cut shorts is the perfect summer travel ensemble
What I Wore:
a little slow on the outfit of the day pictures but here is a polyvore set of my recent travel essentials!
