6 days in Vegas

These are my 6 outfits I wore while working in Vegas last week.
If you have been following our blog you already know that I typically travel with a carry-on only when it comes to work. I have posted a few blog posts on travel with a carry on only which you can find here and here. I also enjoyed this travel post from Kendi Everyday.

Re-wearing my jacket and white jeans. It's how you pack with a carry-on and still have room to do a little shopping. Which we did have a few minutes for and I picked up these boots at Vince Camuto for $45. Yes, I was a bit excited as I had seen them earlier this season for about $120.

stripes and leather


A statement necklace and leather jacket is all it takes to add a little something extra to your jeans and tee outfit. Which seems to be my go-to outfit lately.

favorites

If you have visited our page before you know this is my favorite sweater of the season. I now own it in three different colors. The exact thing I tell my clients not to do. Sometimes I gotta break my own rules. The sweater along with these boots have been some of my favorite and most worn purchases this winter.

It comes back to what I say repeatedly; if you love it you will wear it all the time, therefore I don't mind spending a little more on it. Price per wear. Think about it. If you don't love it or feel pretty in it, don't spend any money on it.
Bam. There is my advice for the week.

travel outfits...

Here are the 5 outfits I wore last week to work in NYC. 
When traveling for work I typically pack a carry-on only. Yes, it's about the only time I'm a minimalist.

"How do you do it?" is a question I get asked all the time. So here are a few of my tips...
#1 Plan your outfits very strategically. Don't think you have to pack every new piece of clothing in your wardrobe.
#2 Wear your bottoms more than once, and re-use jackets and sweaters if possible.
#3 Try to only take 2 pair of shoes/boots. I know some of you are freaking out right now. I took 3 on this trip simply because I had extra room.
#4 Take at least one or two scarves that will go with everything. I also do this in the summer as I tend to get cold on the airplane.
#5 Take or wear accessories that will go with most of your outfits.
I take pictures of all my outfits as I prepare them so there is never a question why I brought something. And I just don't have to do any extra thinking in the morning, which is always a plus for me.

Now for the actual packing...
I fold and roll everything (like little sausages), put them into Travel Space Bags, squeezing the air out which will give you 2 - 3 times the amount of space in your suitcase. I never travel without them. I pack my extra shoes in a cheap cloth bag; to keep them from getting scratched, etc... I have travel sizes of all my liquids and simply refill them as needed. I put all these in a clear bag, which I pack in my purse so I don't have to dig it out of my carry-on when going through security. 

I hope this helps for the next time you travel. I would love to hear any tips and hints you have when traveling.
Happy trails!

leather and classic black

A simple classic black dress I have had for a few years. When you find that black dress that fits you perfectly, don't delay, buy it, as it will last you for years and is appropriate for may occasions.
I paired it with my new leather jacket my husband surprised me with for Christmas! Yes, I was thrilled. Still am.

leather and lines...


An outfit I wore for a day of shopping with a client. 
My favorite outfit for shopping in the winter usually includes leggings, flat boots and a cross-body bag. It's super comfortable, stylish and the handbag leaves my hands free to work faster.

Happy New Year!



An outfit I wore for a party over the Holidays.
This is me still smiling after I realized I just stepped into dog poop (yes, you can see it on my shoes). When there is a lot of snow the dog poops on the patio so he can rush back in. Well the snow had melted, it was raining and the poop was extra squishy when I stepped in it. Do you want more of a visual? Lol.

This makes me think of life...
Do we keep smiling after we've "stepped into a pile of poop" or do we throw in the towel because now everything smells and we end up having a bad day?
Do we step right outside the door, "take a crap" and hope somebody else steps in it, possibly ruining their day? 
Well I think if you're a "crapper" you should re-think your attitude.
If you're the person that has their day ruined because of a little "poop" you might want to lighten up and enjoy life more.
If you keep smiling in spite of a little "poop", keep it up, because you will always get "poop" in your life no matter who you are. Life is more about your attitude and reactions than the actual situations and circumstances.

Well there are my thoughts for the new year. I hope you make yours great. I certainly am planning on it!
