Airport Chic
8 Nov
As you read this, I’m pretty sure I just about landed in (my best Alicia Keys voice) Neewwwwww Yoooooork.
TH is going on a business trip and I get to tag along because he’s a super freak and thinks if his flight goes down, I need to go down with him. How thoughtful. I’m not complaining, but might I suggest your company start sending you to Tahiti.
I guess I’m kinda going on business too. Blogging business ’cause I’m meeting up with Tamra from Walks with Bella. After meeting with Vmac, Sabra and Erika, I feel like I’m on a blogger tour. Except no one is actually paying to see me.
Moving on to the dreaded airport outfit. The dichotomy of comfortable and stylish.
Hey girls, how do you do it?
This girl is, I’m so cool. My bag weighs nothing and these shoes aren’t killing my feet.
Ballet flats are ideal, but we land at about six a and it’s going to feel like there aren’t any degrees outside. Freezing.
Yes!
Hey, it’s you again. Why is your face so cold? Scarf not keeping you warm.
Airport pose. If this is what you look like after landing, I don’t wanna be on a flight with you.
When you feel confident in your airport outfit choice, it all goes out the window once you make your way up to security.
I wanna be like, excuse me, this is an outfit.
By the time I disembark I look like the only place I checked my bags in are under my eyes. Forget bags, full on luggage for a ten day trip are under my eyeballs.
Not cute.
Safe travels.
Great post – these girls are far more impressive than I could ever aspire to me. The sunglasses do puzzle me somewhat, however …
This is a great source of anxiety – the public’s perception of me when I’m travelling. I strive to look hip and confident but reality always comes crashing down to reveal the klutzy, quirky person that I am. I wrote a piece about this years ago and recently updated it here:

That illustration is hilarious. I feel like this every time I make an effort. It’s like a joke, but then I still make an effort? Looking forward to our date!
Hahahaha. That comic = yes. Completely. I think the only way people leave an airport looking like the lovely ladies above is when they fly private. Have an amazing time in New York and tell Tamra hi for me!
Ah yes, the age old question of what to wear when traveling…yeah, still haven’t figured that one out myself! I guess the key to looking fabulous is to be 6ft tall and 90lbs and fly first class because you’re a supermodel? sh*t. I guess I’m just going to have to keep on with my sweats (c: ha!
Ha! That comic is hilarious.
I’m crying at that cartoon! I need to share it with everyone I know, immediately.
Everybody is traveling these days! I am so jealous. But more jealous that you get to meet Tamra! It’s in the near future for me, but not soon enough. Have fun!!
Dayum you are on a blogging world tour. How come nobody ever visits Philadelphia? Important things happened here… back in 1776.
Can I be your groupie! Have fun with Tamra lucky b
I heart you!
