What I'd wear...when I'm traveling

My dear blogger buddy The Professional Bridesmaid asked for "What I'd wear" while traveling (this Toronto lady has half her closet in LA so she's no stranger to cross-continent flights!).  Of course now is the perfect time.  In the next month, a lot of us will be traveling.  Whether you're visiting loved ones, taking a break, or just escaping in general, you will likely be taking a long car or plane trip to get there.  Boo to the travel and yay to the destination.

When I think about comfortable, minimally wrinkling travel outfits, I immediately thought of clothing with great materials (supima, great cottons, and other soft materials).  I ordered a few Michael Stars dresses a while ago and love the materials and reasonable prices - naturally he was the first brand that came to mind for travel outfits.

Option 1
Sometimes you just want one piece so for those that prefer a dress, how about this comfy Michael Stars supima 3/4 length dress? At only $72 - it's a pretty good deal and more importantly is made of great material.

Option 2

If it's a long flight or you get cold easily, then it's time for a top and jeans.  This top for $74 is pretty comfortable and a little sexy as well.

 

Of course some comfy jeans - on sale for $98 if you're small (and Revolve gives 30% off to new customers with certain exclusions, they totally rock)!  J brand wide leg in a dark wash.

With either option, definitely have a warm cardigan.  I love this versatile wrap cardigan.  At $198, I think it's worth the price but of course wait for a sale if you can (and Michael Stars has good sales).

Not able to sleep on flights?  Be like a movie star and throw on some shades like some classic aviators for $139.

Then one of my favorite accessories for both style and "I don't have a bad hair day purposes" - this cute hat, a deal at £12.00.

Finally you'd definitely need a pair of shoes you can slip on and off easily (sigh, until they really roll out the machines that will let you go through without taking off your shoes). 

My friend told me about OTBT and how comfortable their shoes and boots were.  These Mary Janes were made for traveling and aren't bad for everyday shoes too (like many other NYC women I commuted in comfortable shoes and had my shoe collection at my desk; great price too at ).  Sorry for the small picture!

If I wanted a heel, I'd get a stacked heel so would that the shoes would actually be pretty comfortable.

Finally I got this bag, the Hayden Harnett Ibiza, from my best friend before leaving for Singapore and France last year.  I love the durability, size and versatility (it can be folded in half).  It can hold a lot too and I wasn't as afraid when setting this down on planes since it could be easily cleaned.  It's a good price at $198 and can go on sale as well.

What else is part of your travel wardrobe?
