Travel gear

This jacket is so great for warm weather. It is beige, but with a blush tint. I can't normally wear beige because of the yellow tones, but this works. It's also meant to be a bit wrinkled, which is required for travel. The dress is jersey and ruched at the waist for great comfort.

The French have a term called the "third piece" which means you should always add one interesting element to each outfit. You can have on a white tee shirt and jeans and then grab a fantastic scarf or bright bag to pop it up a level. Do I always achieve this pentacle of fashion? Hells no. You don't want to see me at the coffee shop on Saturday or Sunday morning when I have barely gotten out of my jammies. But we all have something to strive for. So my "third piece" here is the leopard print shoes. They aren't super gaudy 5-inchers. Just subtle 2-inch heels, but unexpected or interesting is the key.

And this is all recyclable travel garb for warm weather. The dress gets more rotation with little sweaters and scarves. The jacket is in heavy rotation with colorful blouses and jeans. One pump, one flat, and one running shoe and I'm done packing. I hope this helps my other traveling sisters.
