Today's Everyday Fashion: Risk Taker
































I like to get dressed up for the airport. Call me crazy, but it's one of the few times in my daily life that I encounter that many people. And I always, without fail, wind up running into someone I know. It can be a business contact, someone who reads my blog, or an ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend (yes, all of those have really happened). So after enough embarrassing moments in a sloppy t-shirt, I have forever vowed to look great when I fly (even on overnight flights to Europe, see here and here). Today I'm going all out though. I'm flying to Atlanta for a friend's wedding (my first bridesmaid experience!) and this is what I'm wearing. Call me a risk-taker but red pants and red shoes seem totally appropriate for the airport, yes? :-) Would you wear this to the airport?

    love this! and my husband always gets annoyed with me that i dress nice for plain rides but i do. however i always make sure i am comfy so i am normally in a dress or leggings. i try to stay away from jeans.

    Katee, aw I wish I had time! I won't have a car and the schedule is jam-packed with wedding festivities but thanks for suggesting it.

    Cute! I dont think I would be as adventurous...I would probably swap out the red shoes for a neutral pair, but I like this on you! Have a great time!

    I love the outfit, but I'd probably only wear the red shoes if I was going to be able to wear them again on my trip. I'm such a nitpicky packer, things like shoes need to be worn at least twice if they're traveling with me! :)

    Cindie, we are totally on the same wavelength! I'm planning to wear them on the return flight, too.

    I find myself agreeing you again on this. I always believe in dressing up for the airport bc there are so many people in one place. Look good feel good.

    i love this look and would totally wear it to the airport
    i hate see people in pj's and sweats all over the airport although i will admit that back in Sept. when i had a ridiculously early flight i did wear a hoodie and drawstring pants.

    I love dressing up for the airport too!  (Even though I don't travel often.)  I love your gutsy red outfit.  The pink blouse gives it a subtle, pretty Valentine vibe.

    Love it! Although I'd probably wear flats instead, only because I always seem to having connecting flights on opposite ends on the airport!

    This is fab girl!  I love the combination of red with that mauve-ish colored shirt!  Looking great as always and you make the red pants easy to style worn this way.  :)

    I never thought of pairing red shoes with red pants, but it looks FAB, J! I feel you with the airport dilemma.  It's like you must always look "decent" when travelling lol.

    As you know, red's Color Symbolism can be at both (intense love-or-hate) ENDS of the Emotional Spectrum;  but since you flew to Atlanta today for a friend's Wedding, you *very stylistically brought* the POSITIVE end of the Emotional Spectrum ............ (i.e., for *Health* ............ for *Love* ............ and for *Good Fortune*!!) ............ right along WITH you, to your friend's Very Special Weekend in Atlanta ............ BY wearing a very flattering, joyous *double-dip of RED*.    May Your Friend & Her Husband Have A Lifetime Together Of Health, Love, And Good Fortune ............ (and may your friend keep beautiful/smart/stylish/strong *you*, J, as her friend forever, too)!!

    Eh, not really liking the intensity of this. Maybe just the red shoes. But red pants... whaaaaa!

    I went to buy those wedges at Express today, but the red was a weird orange-red color. Not at all a deep red like yours! I was so bummed.

    I love the red jeans! So chic... your version looks great, I like it a lot more than the shorts.

    I too like to get dressed up for the airport... similar philosophy, I tend to stay pretty low key with life so the airport is like a runway sort of ;) haha.

    Sarah, I just got these red shoes so mine should definitely be the same color as the ones in the store!

    Lauren, thank you! I got these pants last Christmas so I've had them for about a year! :-(
