Clothes for on the go
I am obsessed with these jeans! To put it this way, I have actually worn these jeans comfortably on a plane! They are stretchy through the hip and thigh (which I need) and not tight on my calves. The frayed detail on the hem is cute too!
GRAPENT High Waisted Stretchy Straight Leg Jeans
I get compliments every time I wear this set at an airport. Comfortable, cute, and easy to pack.
Black And White Lounge Set Womens - Amazon.com
I love the colorblock patterns on these sets. I always gravitate toward black clothing but these sets give me a pop of color and adds some variety to my wardrobe.
ETCYY Women's Two Piece Lounge Sweatsuit
I have this crochet top in mist blue and I LOVE it. Pair it with a white tank underneath and white jeans and you have a perfect spring/summer outfit.
Dokotoo Women's 2026 Spring Summer Crochet Hollow Out 3/4
I wore this set one day for a teacher work day and I got so many compliments that I immediately ordered it in another color! The material is so comfy and the pants provide good coverage.
Sampeel Women's Two Piece Summer Set
These pants are my recent favorite! I tend to shy away from prints on my bottom half, but I was going on a trip with my teenage daughter and wanted to be trendy. I was so pleasantly surprised! Pair with a cute black t shirt or a black quarter zip sweatshirt and you have a great outfit!
CIDER Women Leopard Print Wide Leg Sweatpants
I did not expect to like these pants as much as I did! These were out of my comfort zone big time!! Print and a stripe down the side?? Not good for thick thighs. But, when my daughters said I looked cute in them, I knew I was winning. These pants are very light but not sheer.
Charfille Women's Casual Leopard Print Pants
This shapewear top seemed tight when I first put it on. However, 5 minutes in I was comfortable and now it is a go to layer for me. I wear it under the blue crochet sweater listed on the board and it's perfect.
Soma Intimates Womens Seamless Tank
Another set I can't live without. Comfy enough for errands in the South Florida heat but cute enough to wear for a lunch date.
WIHOLL Summer Outfits Women 2 Piece Sets
This is another staple item in my closet. While I'm definitely not wearing this open with a crop top (lol), I pair this top with a tank top under and a pair of jeans and I am set. This top is so versatile and travels well. **The fit is loose on this top so size down if you prefer.
Neweek Womens Button Down Long Sleeve Shirt
I used to think that an oversized shirt would make me look frumpy or sloppy. However, with a little shirt tuck on the front or side of my pants, problem solved! Then I'm comfortable and feeling cute!
ANRABESS Women Oversized Short Sleeve T-Shirt
Hearts just make me happy! Plus, you can never go wrong with a graphic tee with jeans or shorts (still looking for shorts I will actually wear).
SweatyRocks Women's Short Sleeve Heart Print Top
Bags for on the go
You can't be on the go without a good bag. This is my everyday work bag. It has a section for my laptop and charger and has side pockets big enough for a large water bottle. I keep my smaller purse inside of this bag so I can take it out for errands and quick trips after work. Bonus - this bag slides over suitcase handles and sits perfectly on a carry on.
LOVEVOOK Tote Bag for Women with Tumbler Pocket
I am a mom on a budget and it seems like my kids always have nicer things than me! Well, 3 years ago I got money for my birthday and decided to splurge on myself and this was the purchase. This bag is PERFECT. Belt bags are often too small for my needs, but this crossbody bag can hold several items without feeling too bulky. It snaps closed and has an extra zipper closure on the outside so I feel safe everytime I travel with it. This bag has been rained on and dries easily. I cannot recommend enough!
All Night Festival Bag 5L | Women's Bags,Purses,Wallets - Lululemon
I am a busy dance mom and some days I need a smaller bag to stay light and hands free. I have this bag in black and it does the trick! I can store my phone, keys, a digital camera and a small wallet with ease. I also have a 1L Lululemon bag, but prefer this size because it is more practical.
Everywhere Belt Bag Large 2L - Lululemon
Shoes for on the go
Must have shoes for comfort and style
I love these Nike shoes! They took a few days to break in since they are leather, but once they were broken in, they became my go to sneaker! I like the little pop of color so they aren't just plain white, but not too much color so they go with everything.
