Planes, Trains and Automobiles

I'm back on the East Coast, back at home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Yesterday's mix of class and travel left me too tired to post last night, but here's what I wore for my trip home:

Striped Shirt: Old Navy, Button-down: Banana Republic, Jeans: Forever 21, Jacket: ModCloth, Boots: Liz Claiborne, Bow: H&M

I saw the sunlight streaming through the window in my roommate's room and couldn't resist some pictures there. I based this outfit around the jacket. A few days ago I just decided that I wanted to wear leopard print to fly in. Something about a fun print (especially rendered in a soft faux-fur) makes travel a little less dreary (especially when you're fearing being selected for additional screening by the TSA). The rest of the outfit came together when I was thinking about what's comfy for flying - the boots are on and off pretty easily so they were a go, the jeans came into the equation when I realized how cold it would be in Chicago. The striped shirt came from my subconscious - I'm pretty sure I've seen some street style shots of people wearing stripes with leopard print and I had to get in on that. I think my bold coat may have gotten a few odd glances, but I loved wearing it. I was right - it did make flying a bit more cheery.
