Today's Everyday Fashion: Long Day of Travel

Navy/gray/black

This is the first time that I have ever worn leggings (and that includes the 80's). What motivated me to finally get on board with this trend? One veryyyyy long night/day of travel. It occurred to me that leggings and a tunic are essentially pajamas and would be the most comfy thing to sleep in. Add a wool coat and some boots though and you are decent for public. It's kind of an amazing when you think about it (I know, I know, I'm like the last person on earth to realize this). So where am I going in this comfy outfit? Mum is the word until I get back, but let's just say I will be wearing boots and coats the whole time and plan to share all 15 outfits with you when I return! In the meantime, I've arranged for 16 lovely ladies to blog in my place. Hope you enjoy their adorable outfits and blogs, and I'll see you in a couple weeks! Au revoir! xoxo, J.  ps. Please excuse my hair and lack of jewelry in the photo. I promise to be more presentable the next time you see me. ;-)

Occasion: Long day of travel
Navy Jacket: LOFT, $50
Brooch: Banana Republic, $20
Gray Dress: c/o LaMixx, $35 (also seen here)
Black Leggings: Victoria's Secret c/o MJR Sales, $4
Boots: Bakers, $90
Purse: c/o It's in the Bag, $79














ps. I really need your help with this. I've been considering going back to work full-time, but with your help I can win $100k in this contest, which means at least two more years of blogging and freelancing. :-) You can vote once a day between now and October 31! Go here to vote. Thank you!!

    I'm leaving today too! Back to Europe for a couple of weeks. No need to say, it will be a long travel for me too! I just wear a pair of jeans, t-shirt, cardigan et some converse sneakers, and a huge katy van zeeland bag with all my electronics and magazines to keep me busy! Have a save trip!

    Love this outfit and I can't believe you're just now getting into leggings?! I love love leggings, especially in the winter time. They're great with sweater dresses and knee high boots! :)

    You got my vote! I love your blog and find inspiration from it all the time! Good luck in the contest and I'll try to go back and vote more. And on another note, I love leggings! I'm in college so they are the best thing to wear to the library for long nights of studying!

    Love this outfit! Do you know if the Melie Bianco bag shown is in the color saddle? The website is showing that as a different color and I like the one that you have the best!

    LOVE the outfit - I absolutely love that prep school jacket, it's just too cute! You really styled it perfectly with the boots and bag.  I love when fashionistas pair black and brown/tan - I think it looks so cute.  I love the juxtaposition of the trendy boots with the classic bag/prep jacket! =D

    Glad you finally gave into leggings! Love them and I fought them for awhile too, but not quite as long as you!  Have a great trip! I'll be voting for you to win!

    Leggings are great for travel - they are wonderful for long car trips too.  Other thoughts - I need some camel colored boots and bags in my life, LOVE the dress.  Hope you have a great vacation!!
