Last night, I headed to the mall to pick up a few things from Sephora for today’s trip. After I purchased the very cool Makeup Forever Aqua Cream, I just happened to wander through Nordstrom. They had a bunch of cute stuff , and some very interesting shoes. On the way out the door, a…

My Favorite Travel Outfits
Lately, I have noticed that there is a pattern every time I look at someone at an airport and think, “Love her outfit!” Pretty much every time this has happened in the last three to four months, the woman is wearing some variation of the skirt-blouse-3/4 sleeve cardigan combo. Sometimes it is a dress and…
Quick Security Tip: Wear Bike Shorts Under Skirts
Once the temperatures start heating up, it’s hard to wear pants every day. They can just feel so restricting and hot, especially here in the South. I love dresses and skirts, and have several that are incredibly comfortable for travel. But with TSA doing extra touchy feely patdowns, a girl can feel might exposed in…
What to Wear to the Airport: Skirts from Boden
In my seemingly never ending quest for summer appropriate work clothes that are good for travel, I may have found a light. Have you heard of Boden? Until recently, I had not. But in the comments of my favorite blog Corporette, this UK brand was mentioned repeatedly as having true-to-size, quality, affordable, and super cute…
What to Wear to the Airport: Warm Weather Clothes
Earlier this week the temperature here in Texas was 95 degrees. Not kidding. I keep hoping spring will come back, but I’m not holding my breath. Because if I do I will most certainly pass out from the heat. All of my black, winter-y, heavy clothes are too hot, to0 restrictive, and I am ready…

Suit or No Suit?
At a recent party, a friend told me stories about her first few business trips. “It was so tricky! I would never know ahead of time if I had to wear a suit or not, because all of the locations were different,” she said. After a few visits, she figured out strategies to deal with…
What to Wear to the Airport: NOT a t-shirt dress!
A comment from last week’s What to Wear to the Airport post got me thinking. Mimi said: I tend to get cold on long flights – especially now that blankets cost extra! Do you have any suggestions for what to wear if you are either 1) traveling in the wintertime? 2) over age 55 and…
Be Careful With Those Button Down Shirts
Last week, I went to West Palm Beach and Charlotte. It was a great trip, as far as work trips go. My meetings were very successful, I got to stay on the beach, my flights were reasonably on time. I also managed to get a swim and walk/jog in for triathlon training. So overall, an…
What to Wear to the Airport: Athleta T-Shirt Dress
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about wearing leggings and a t-shirt dress on a long flight. It feels like wearing pajamas, but looks much nicer. Soon after I made that post, I found a bunch of very cute t-shirt dresses on sale at Athleta. I ordered some, and I am in LOVE. They…
