In advance, sorry for all the writing, I know we all like the snaps the most! However, here we go!
Before I was a stay-at-home mom, I was a HR recruiter/Corporate Trainer. I traveled frequently and came despise it. At one point I had been in 3 different states in 2 days. The last stop was visiting family and in the middle of the night I woke up not knowing where I was….yikers! Now? I would give my right arm to travel and get out of my every day surroundings. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a mom, but there are things I miss about being kidless and single (don’t tell my Hubs I said that :)
Traveling Tips… I just have 3, I keep it simple.
Cosmetics: If you travel frequently the best thing I did for myself was invest in a good cosmetic case. One that I kept a double of EVERYTHING I used. This way I wouldn’t have to drag all my containers back and forth constantly. Of course you also need all these containers in a bottle no more than 3 oz (thanks to the terrorists) if you’re traveling on an airplane. I'm not showing a picture of this because all my cosmetics are in generic containers.
Attire: I try to remain in the same color scheme. This way I’m not packing my entire wardrobe (although that does happen on occasion), and I can mix and match outfits depending on what I’m in the mood to wear. This trip you’ll see I have my neutral clothes palette (which I tend to gravitate to in the fall/winter). Unless I’m planning to travel for a long period (7-10 days) the same color scheme is what I stick to. It makes packing easier (since now I’m packing for 3). See my outfits below.
Look #1: sweater, LOFT | fur vest, Fur Frenzy (similar here) | jeans, Citizens of Humanity | bag, Dooney & Bourke | booties, Target | travel tote, LLBean
Look #2: sweater, LOFT (sold out, but similar here) | jeans, Old Navy | bag, Dooney & Bourke | boots, Me Too | travel tote, LLBean
Look #3: sweater, Boden | camo pants, Gap | bag, Dooney & Bourke | shoes, Mia | traqvel tote, LLBean
**currently looking for a blue oxford for under the sweater for a color pop....
Jewelry: Again, simple. I usually stick to 2 of everything, watch, earrings, bracelets, necklaces with some exceptions. See my jewelry stash below for this trip!
Accessories: watch, Michael Kors & Bulova (old, similar here) | bracelets, Loren Hope & Simply Lulu | earings, old (similar here) | wedding rings, Tacori | gold flower ring, Sundance (similar here) | necklace, Simply Lulu
