Where are you headed this summer? Is it a family vacation? Beach vacation? Somewhere adventurous? How are you traveling? By car, plane, or train? Whatever the case, you want to be looking good and comfortable, right?
I am traveling up to New York City today to meet with the Bob Mackie Design Team. I do this every other month to see what is happening in the design studio for the upcoming season. It's always very exciting because I get to see what Bob's newest creations are. It's like going to an art opening!
My journey requires comfort, flexibility, and looking good. That is what inspired my blog to you today. So often in the past, I have not thought those requirements out carefully and found myself regretting what I decided to wear. Today I chose wisely: a nice comfortable capri pant, a knit top, and a cute pair of sandals. The day is sunny, but not too blistering hot, so it's a nice day to walk.
I find the best clothes for travel are knits. They don't wrinkle very easily, and they move with you. If you are sitting anywhere for a long period of time, a knit pant won't irritate you. And here's a tip: when you pack, roll your items instead of folding. They will arrive with much less creasing.
Here are some great choices from Bob Mackie's line for dressing comfortably and chic. My pick for the top is a no-brainer! Just imagine how eye-catching this will be for you. It practically shouts 'vacation'…
Especially in this color of green. It also comes in charcoal, red and blue. It's Bob Mackie's 3/4 Sleeve Boca Raton Printed Top with Tie Hem. It's a vibrant print with a banded hem and a side-tie detail, which make this one a true vacation from our typical wardrobe basics. No one can speak better than the other ladies wearing it…it's Customer Top Rated! Check out the reviews on QVC.com.
Now, for the bottom...well, it depends on your mood, the time of day, and where you're headed, right? Any of these knit bottom silhouettes will be dynamite. They are all from Bob’s collection:
These are Bob’s best-selling wide-leg knit pants, which are similar to palazzo pants. Love these! They are offered in petite and regularlengths in an array of colors.
If you are feeling a little more sassy, slip into Bob's Ponte Knit Pull-On Slim Leg Pants, which are also offered in petite and regular lengths. These pants are too cute for words, and, with a little sandal, you'll be set for the boardwalk!
This is the style I have on today: Bob's Ponte Knit Elastic Waist Crop Pant with Button Accent. I love to show off a little leg, especially once I have some tan to my skin. This is a bottom that can be dressed up with the right top or worn more casually with a tee shirt.
No matter the case, you're all set with a ready-to-go set for any travel ensemble. Let me know where your travels are taking you this summer...we love to live vicariously through our Mackinistas!!!
Best,
Margaux
