| Before Security = Fly, After Security - Ferocious |
In lieu of my recent trip to DC to celebrate my beautiful godmother's 50th birthday, I thought I would do a guide on airport essentials so you can always look your best while traveling.
Have you ever had an experience like the illustration above in the airport? Pre-Security you look like a fab diva, but after you remove your stylish garbs and are stripped to the bare essentials you look like Samaya (sp) from the Ring? Well have no fear lol, this post will help us look our best while overcoming the challenges of flying, maneuvering through airports, security, and massive crowds.
You should always remember the 3C'c when traveling. "Comfort", "convenience", and being "chic"! You want to be comfortable while traveling ( just the thought of tickets, gates, luggage, airplanes, crowds can be stressful enough).You also want to wear clothing that is convenient. By that I mean you want to be able to get it on and off quickly (with all the security checks and temperature changes etc. in the airport or on the airplane). You don't want to wear the shirt that has 20 buttons, or the shoes that take 5 minutes to lace up. And last but surely not least, you want to look absolutely chic while covering the first two bases. Here are a few essentials to help you pull off a chic airport style.

I love all these outfits !!!! My style tends to reflect my mood and it could easily fit with all these outfits. Where did the bag for the airport chic come from ?
