Packing my suitcase was a week-long ordeal. My dad told me that "It's not a fashion show" to which I was completely appalled- of course it is. I can't wear the same outfit twice and I need to bring my best out for the people of Spain.
I mean, people really should be thanking me... When Spanish people see me (an American) they will judge other Americans off of me, and don't you want to be known to have great style? You're welcome.
Today is a day of travel, but nevertheless it shall not be wasted.
When traveling, you want to be comfortable, I get it. But comfortable doesn't mean sloppy. I usually opt for something that will:
a) keep me at a comfortable temperature... Planes get cold so you have to choose to cover your arms or cover your legs. Or if you can't sacrifice covering skin, you have to just deal with it.
b) not be too much... Simplicity is always extremely chic. You don't want shoes that will give you trouble walking through airports or going through security, and you don't want to stick out like a sore thumb (like a guy I saw earlier today...YIKES)
and c) reflect my personal style... When you look good you feel good. Being comfortable in your style is one of my keys to confidence. If you wear something out of your comfort zone, something that may not really be your style, you will do nothing but stress about how you look.
While traveling today, I wore this outfit:
shirt: I'm pretty sure I got this top from Forever 21 for about $20. It is paired with a nude tank top so I am confident about underneath the shirt.
shorts: I made these shorts from a pair of mom jeans I found at a thrift store for $8. I cut and frayed them myself. With an ass and thighs like mine, I have to make my own shorts all the time. I've made three different pairs of high waisted jean shorts this summer alone. Finding what looks good on you will begin to define your style and I love the way high waisted jean shorts give me an hourglass figure.
shoes: these boots are Guess that I found at TJ Maxx for $40 the other day. So chic and comfortable. They zip on the inside for easy removal. Only downside is you have to wear socks which can make you really hot.
bag: this bag is Nine West, also from TJ Maxx, and I think it was about $15-20. It can hold a lot, has a stylish and functional over-the-shoulder strap, and matches almost anything.
It kind of disappoints me when people travel in sweats. I feel I am always being judged for my clothes, probably because I am constantly judging people on theirs. I like to take pride in how I look. Sure, it's just traveling, but you never know who you could see or what you're going to do when you get to your destination.
Spain, here I come!
