After nearly 30 years of flying, I proudly own three travel outfits.

I used to agonize over what I’d wear on travel day, frankly, my favorite day. I needed my outfit to be comfortable, but still cute. It needed to include items that made going through security a breeze, and made an in-flight snack spill feel like part of the adventure. Essentially, I needed an outfit that would allow me to enjoy my time in the air without losing my marbles!

Depending on where I’m headed, I always wear one of these three outfits. Of course, I purchase new items from time to time, so the exact pieces may change, but the concept always stays the same. I never have to think about it; I just grab and go.

Whether I’m taking the redeye, heading straight to a thing when I land, or heading straight to the hotel to sleep, I have an outfit fit for the occasion. Seriously, you’ll love having one task permanently checked off your Pre-Travel To-Do List!

Fall is upon us. Finally.

We all know about my disdain for summer, so I won’t get into that rant again. But summer aside, fall fashion is my favorite for a multitude of reasons. I love the cozy fabrics, the smart silhouettes, and the warm and rich colors. It’s just my style, epitomized in a single season, right down to the pumpkin spice lattes.

This year’s trends make up one of the most “me” collections, ever. I already wear so many of these trends just as my personal style, so I won’t be changing much up. Besides wearing more of the trends all blended together, of course! I also already own a ton of pieces that embody the trends splendidly, but I will no doubt be picking up a few new items that I can’t get out of my head. It’s going to be an awesome shopping season, I just know it.

It’s been an incredibly hot and sweaty summer, and I am so ready to move on from the heat! Nothing sets the mood for fall like a cozy sweater… that I’ll probably be wearing exclusively during trips to Costco’s walk-in refrigerator for the time being.

Are you as ready for fall as I am?

What To Wear On A Plane || Travel Outfits Do’s & Don’ts

I absolutely LOVE flying. Even more than donuts.

Later this year, my family and I are embarking on our first family vacation in years. Six family members are super excited to see NYC for the first time. One family member is super excited to curl up in her (coach) seat and nibble Hawaiian Airlines’ food offerings. Guess who that family member could be…

Aside from my airplane obsession, I am also very interested in fashion, and specifically, making fashion attainable and workable for everyday women. There are plenty of reasons for normal people (*ahem* not me) to hate flying. The airport is stressful, the seats keep shrinking, and the food is pretty abysmal. I get that. BUT I also think that by doing something as simple as carefully planning your travel outfits, it becomes possible to make even a stressful and cramped experience just a bit more enjoyable.

These are the items of clothing that I never wear when traveling. These items are either uncomfortable, impractical, or just annoying to manage. You have enough to worry about when you’re traveling, you don’t need to be worried about your outfit falling apart too.

Read on to find out what not to wear on a plane, and what to wear instead!
