I even try to look fabulous when I'm travelling, whether by plane, train or automobile. I've come a long way from my college days when I thought that pajama pants were appropriate to be worn outside of my bedroom. I still yearn for the comfort of my jammies when I'm crammed in a car or on a plane for awhile, but I still want to look good when I get to my destination. Because if I'm traveling, it means there is a vacation waiting for me at the end and I want to get to the partying ASAP.
Tara's tips for traveling fabulously:
1. Pick a comfy centerpiece for your outfit. Whether it's jeans or a dress, make sure it doesn't wrinkle. I went with Anthropologie's Feline Karma Dress.
Yeah, I tried the dress on last weekend at Anthro and fell in love:
2. If you go with a dress, wear some leggings. You won't have any of those embarrassing crotch moments exiting the car made famous by Lindsey Lohan and you won't have to sit lady-like on a long plane ride.
3. Layers! It's amazing how much your body temperature fluctuates on the car. (and I am always FREEZING on a plane). J. Crew's Jackie Cardigans are perfect for layering.
4. Comfy shoes, like my Steve Madden boots, are a must! I like to travel in boots because I can easily cover up my embarrassing travel socks (see #5). I never travel in flip flops because my feet get cold in the car and on a plane and I'm afraid of getting my toes squished in a crowd at the airport.
5. Cozy socks keep my feet warm in an air conditioned car or on a cold plane of recycled air. I always travel with goofy socks.
6. Don't forget the snacks!
And when you reach your destination, you need to be ready to PARTY!!
7. Swap out your comfy layers for a fun blazer. I like this SheInside blazer because it's the perfect shade of pale pink and has an interesting silhouette.
8. A statement necklace and earrings provide a quick transformation from travel to glam. I picked out some goodies from Bauble Bar for my transformation: Gold Crystal Mix Necklace and Beryl Bubble Drop Earrings.
9. Don't forget your arm candy! I love this Dazzle bracelet from JewelIq. This is not a necessity, I just like this bracelet.
10. Last minute beauty essentials. I can make due as long as my hair looks good (thank you dry shampoo), my breath is fresh and I can dab on a little mascara and lip gloss.

| Mini Review: I love the material of this dress. It's like a soft canvas, so it doesn't wrinkle, but has great structure. The dress looks A LOT shorter on the hanger. It hit me at about the knee and I'm 5'3". The top fit a little loose in the 8, so I would size down to a 6 for purchase. I think the top has enough coverage even for busty gals. AND IT HAS POCKETS!! I am going to wait another 2 weeks for it to hit sale and then I am buying no matter what. |
