Travel experiment 2013 part 1

Hello my loyal friends and readers,

It is a chilling 10 degrees in NYC right now, but guess where I'm heading? LA!!!!!!! So while you guys are bundled in 3 pairs of socks and long johns, I will be premiering flip flips.

So I thought this little cross country trip deserved a little travel experiment. Many if you have said to me, " Liz, I'm not going to change. I will never change. I don't believe you. I want to wear my pajamas on the plane. They are the only thing that could possibly be comfortable. And I don't want to brush my hair or put on makeup or do anything but just sit on the plane in my comfort." I totally respect your feeling but I just have a hard time believing that my travel experience is so much worse than yours in what you deem as "full comfort".

So here's my experiment. I am traveling to LA today in an outfit that is, to me, a perfect travel outfit. I will travel back in essentially pajamas. I am creating various 1-10 scales to rate each outfit. That'll be my next blog post, so stay tuned.

Today's travel clothes: the black magic uniqlo pants, a hot pink tee from the gap, a gray cardigan type thing with leather sleeves, silver necklace, full face, frye boot (all pictured). Not pictured: an extra warm cardigan for outdoor purposes in NYC, a brown leather jacket, a chunky ice blue infinity scarf (later to be used a my pillow on the plane) a white hat and white gloves, and over all that, a royal blue large scarf (to be used as a blanket later if cold in the flight).

Stay tuned...and please forgive my terrible attempt at taking my own picture in the mirror.
