I’m having to come to terms lately with how much I am a procrastinator. For instance, I’m heading to Austin this weekend to speak that the Texas Style Council and am I prepared? No. I’m not and if I know me I’ll wait to finish my talk and then overpack Friday morning minutes before we leave and then be mad at myself all weekend for the weird options I’ve left myself to wear. Why is it that when I travel that’s when I think of elaborate outfits to try out? I always do that and I can never understand my reasoning when I get to my destination and unpack. Even though I’ve heard the advice somewhere along the way that you should just wear your stand-bys because you know they fit and they work. Nope, I’m going to pack all of these mismatched pieces that I’ve pulled out of the back of my closet and hope for the best. 

It’s so hot out today I just couldn’t think of wearing anything but shorts. Professional? No. But neither is sweating through pants. I hope I gave you a great visual there.

  17. I have an explanation for the phenomena you describe….getting dressed every day is a creative experience, you go with whatever inspired you that moment, what you feel, etc, it is not planned or thought out. Therefor it is impossible to do the same days in advance when you travel…I am never happy no matter what I bring, its a creative curse…along with procrastination, I also suffer…

  18. That is a wonderful visual. 🙂 I hear ya. I'm going to a different conference this weekend, Go Blog Social, and I haven't the slightest what I'm wearing. As a stay at home mom, I'm fearful my regular go-tos of stretchy pants and and old tshirt won't do the trick. But my topknot to keep kids' fingers out of my hair should work, right? 🙂

    Would love to hear you speak, I'm sure you'll be wonderful!

  20. Your top is so pretty. And I love this simple but cute outfit. I'm always disappointed with my own packing as well. I look at my options and think, why did I bring THIS? 🙂

  21. I always make the mistake of wearing combos of clothes I've never worn before when I travel! I'll be jetsetting in a couple weeks, and I'm convincing myself that I will actually try on the outfits before I pack them. We'll see…

    Good luck with your trip and your speech!

  27. Love this outfit! It's so summery and casual 🙂 I also believe that a little bit of procrastination here and there is healthy for the mind and soul 🙂

  34. I love me a good, subtle peplum! And I'm just like that – but once, I actually packed really early for a trip and was done like two days before I left, and it just made me super anxious like, I know I'm forgetting something! Maybe I shouldn't have packed that shirt! etc. etc. So now, I always leave it last minute – better for my sanity 🙂
