What to Wear for 24 hours in an Airport

Jacket: H and M; Top: Topshop; Jeans: GAP; Flats: Aldo; Necklace: Target; Purse: Louis Vuitton

I am writing this post from Bath and believe me, I never want to see this outfit again!  My flight from Pittsburgh to Newark was delayed yesterday, so I would have missed my connection and was forced to spend the night in Pittsburgh (complaint letter coming United Airlines...)

This is my usual travel outfit.  Variations of this to come throughout the next weeks, especially because I packed the lightest I ever have (42 lbs!). 

 The keys are: pants with stretch; a loose top; structured jacket; and statement jewelry and flats.

Camo at the White House

T-Shirt and Pants: GAP; Necklace and bracelet: J Crew; Shoes: Coach; Bag: Louis Vuitton

It seems very appropriate to post my last photos from Washington DC before I leave for the UK tomorrow.  It was a beautiful spring day, but with rain on and off.  This outfit is going to be very similar to what I have packed for my trip. 

I love these camo pants, just enough visual interest to make the outfit a bit more "me." 

Trend Summer 2013: Maxi Dress

Earrings: Robert Lee Morris (I lost one of this later this night!); Jacket: GAP; Dress: H and M; Belt: J Crew; Sandals: Steve Madden; Purse: Vintage Louis Vuitton

I think maxi dresses are one of the biggest trends of 2013.  I didn't have any before this year, but I have quickly embraced the trend because they are so easy to throw on with a layering pieces and some jewelry.  I wore this outfit shopping at Ross Park Mall (the best mall in Pittsburgh) with a friend and it transitioned easily to dinner and the Great Gatsby at Southside Works.  

 I love this House of Harlow sunburst design necklace.  I will be wearing it a lot this summer. 

Sandals: Steve Madden

I think that I will like this dress even more in the fall with tights, a stacked heel boot, and a leather bomber jacket.

In the Ivy: Pop of Color

Sunglasses: Vintage Bill Blass; Necklace: J Crew; Dress: GAP; Blazer: Zara; Heels: Aldo; Bag: LV

I got this red blazer at Zara last weekend when I was in DC.  I have already worn it way too many times this week, but it a great mix of formal and casual and the bright pop of pinkish-red seems to work with a lot of what I already have. 

In happy news, I will be on my way to England this time next week!

The Glamorous Pursuit and the Great Gatsby Party

Fur: Vintage stole; Dress: H and M; Shoes: Nine West; Earrings: Forever 21; Necklaces (on loan, thanks K!)

I went to a Great Gatsby themed party at Tender Bar and Kitchen in Lawrenceville.  It was super fun to get dressed up and pretend to be in the 1920's for the day.  I have had this H and M dress forever and it is a great blank canvas that can go with many different styles.  

Purse and Bracelets: Vintage

I had such a great time and hope to have more themed parties this summer!

Patriotic Stripes in Washington, DC

I was in Washington, DC late this week for work (patent law symposium).  I love DC and it was great to see the city a bit and see some great friends.  I wore this on the way to dinner and drinks.

Blazer: Brooks Brothers; T-shirt and Skirt: J Crew Factory; Shoes: Aldo

These photos were taken near my hotel on New York Avenue.  I loved the art deco building in the background.

Striped Sailor Chic

Blazer: vintage Brooks Brothers; Sweater: GAP; Skirt: J Crew; Heels: Nine West

I am stripe obsessed: black and white, navy and white, shades of blue.  If it reminds you of a sailor or the South of France chances are I would love it.  I recently bought this J Crew blue and white pencil skirt.  I have a feeling that I will be wearing this skirt a lot throughout the spring and summer. 

This look is about as preppy as I get.  I topped off the skirt with a white knit sweater, pearls, and a navy vintage Brooks Brothers blazer. 

Watch: Movado; Nail Polish: Posh by Revlon

Heels: Nine West (old)

 The leopard print added a bit of edge that I always like to have with each outfit.
