monday musings [travel like a pro]

i don't know about you, but i feel like i do a lot of road-trip-type travelling. especially around the holidays. which [obviously] means lots of hours in the car. so as we were on our way back home [a 5 hour drive] i was musing that i should share my ideal winter travel outfit with you [i say winter because in the summer the answer is "as little as possible"].

on this christmas eve day, if you're in the car driving long distances, let's hope you're as comfy as this:

 [the north face coat, old navy sweater, james perse tee - similar,  tart leggings - similar, target scarf (in stores) & hat, h&m otk socks, tory burch boots (super old amazing sale score), rebecca minkoff mini mac, forever 21 sunglasses (old)]

[i love love love these boots]

a few quick points on why this outfit is the best for winter road trips [in my estimation anyways]:

• there are no pants involved [because who travels in pants?]
• the sweater and tee are super soft and comfy [big thanks to sam of samipsaloquitur for the sweater suggestion!] for impromptu passenger seat naps
• toasty warm feet and boots that can handle those annoying [but necessary] rest stop detours
• scarf that acts like a blanket
• hat that covers travel hair [because seriously, whose hair looks cute when road tripping for hours? not mine]
• you don't look like a [complete] bum

so i hope you're warm at home on this christmas eve day, but if you're not, you're ready to travel like a [comfy, stylish] pro!
