cheetah print leggings from day to evening

How I wore these leggings from day to evening.

Daytime - I had my sons basketball game to go to and errands to run, so I paired them with a tank top and sweatshirt for a comfortable, easy look.

Evening - It was date night with my husband so I switched out the sweatshirt and boots for something more elegant and sexy.

easy layers...

Accessories are the easiest and most inexpensive way to update the basic pieces in your wardrobe. This outfit is a prime example of just that.

I bought a bold, trendy necklace and added it to a dress I have had for 4 years and a sweater I have had for 2 years. It makes my outfit feel new and adds a bit of color and interest.

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.

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!
