Dudes, I'm actually wearing this. Like right. now. As I type this, I'm wearing this outfit. This doesn't happen often. But I really wanted to knock out a post before I take off for the airport this morning, and I figured I'd share my travelin' garb. For me, airports are all about comfort and ease, but also put-togetherness. The scarf, soft-as-can-be cardigan, and zip-off boots are all perfect for getting through security and handling the varying temperatures of the cabin (just FYI, I'll throw all the accessories into my bag before I go through security so that all I have to do is take off my boots when I get to the checkpoint).

But for me, airports are also about looking at least somewhat classy, or put-together. I'm always treated way better by airport staff if I don't look schlumpy (though my hippie headband may counteract that today), and I feel more ready for the trip if I'm not in my pajamas. I've never been a heels at the airport kind of gal, though, since there's always tons of walking on travel days. So my great boots come in handy once again!

What about you? What's your travel mantra? Function over fashion? Panache over pajamas (I don't think panache is the right word here, but I couldn't think of an equivalent alliterative term)? Are you a carry-on or checked baggage person? I'm flying Southwest today, so I could check my bag for free, but I've opted to carry on instead, just so I can get through everything more quickly. Wish me a happy flight!

*Sorry, I don't have time to add remix links today. I gots me a flight to catch!
