what are you wearing on the plane?

Leave a response ->

Some of us are going to have the opportunity to travel this holiday season, possibly as early as Thanksgiving. Sometimes I find the hardest part of the packing process is figuring out what to wear on the plane. I like to try to pack efficiently, and that is much harder than it sounds. Ideally, you should pack a bunch of pieces that can all work well together. Well…that’s what they tell you on all the morning shows, but I need options. I want to be able to change my mind if I don’t feel like wearing the top I brought. This is precisely why I always end up packing too much. I go through the same struggle when I’m trying to figure out what to wear on the plane. I want to be smart about it by trying to wear pieces that will also work once I arrive at my destination. So, I’ve decided on my favorite “daytime” jeans a knit tee,, a comfy sweater, and motorcycle boots. My thinking is I can always use a pair of jeans for hanging around during the day, a knit tee and comfy sweater will work beautifully if an evening chill sets in, and motorcycle boots for walking around with the kids. PHEW – I did it! The question is … will all my planning pay off? Or will I get there and never touch my travel clothes until I go to get dressed to come home? Oh well, at least I made an effort. What are you going to wear?

      I'm currently packing to come home from college, a 9 and a half hour drive from ohio to new york, so I totally feel your pain in picking out a traveling outfit. Mine is a bit less glamorous, both in the final look and the transportation: I'll be sporting a flannel button up with black jeans and leather boots: comfy and warm for my hardly-heated old car!
