Happy Fashion Friday!
Traveling during the holidays can be rushed, hectic and try your patience. It's not my favorite thing to do, but often it can't be avoided. There is nothing like being with family for Christmas. I'm still nailing down my plans, but I hope it involves some family.
One things I've learned over the years, is I really don't like dressing down at the airport. You never know if your plane will be delayed and you will need to look presentable when you arrive. Plus it just makes me feel better to look put together.
This is one of my favorite travel dresses because it is that great jersey material that never wrinkles and still looks on point even after you are sitting all day. The tunic style dress has shape, but is still blousy enough to be completely comfortable. Adding leggings underneath keeps me warm on the plane.
A nice long necklace dresses up the look and can be worn with many other items in my closet that I pack.
If I arrive and there is not time to change before seeing family or friends, I know I'll feel more like myself.
This is one of my go-to looks for this busy holiday travel season!

Cailee says

Thanks Cailee! You are too kind!
Blane Sherer says
Love that travel look for you. That's a nice balance of comfort and " just
in case ". I spent the weekend in Charleston supporting my daughter in
the Miss South Carolina pageant. She did really well but sadly the judges
did not place her in the top 10. It was certainly "tough competition". We still
had a nice family time together.
JulieWunder says
Aw man!!! I was hoping she'd place!! I'm sure she did amazing though!!!
Farrah says
Ah, you are way better than I am! :O I dress down to the max on planes (yoga pants and layers for the win!) because I usually just pass out and snooze til we land. That dress is super cute though! :]
JulieWunder says
If it's an overnight flight I usually go more casual! Hope you are having a great week.
Annette @ Sweating Through Life says
I love this dress! I have to say, I'm usually the opposite. I like to travel in comfort and am totally fine with yoga pants or something. But I'm also usually travelling for fun, where I don't need to be "presentable" as soon as I step off the plane. I could easily travel in dresses and leggings...but not jeans or dress pants:)
JulieWunder says
No way I could do jeans or dress pants either- ugh! 🙂
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I LOVE this look. This is totally me, the way I dress for work. I'm going to check out that dress!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Wendy! It's a great, easy style!
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
I love the print on that dress! Super cute! As usual 😉
JulieWunder says
Thanks Sue!! Hope you are having a great weekend.
Mandi Korn says
Looks perfect for those long plane rides. What happened to the days when people dressed up and not down for going on plane or train rides?
JulieWunder says
I know! Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'm not a fan of showing up looking like a mess 🙂
Gingi says
That's super stylish! I love the print! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
JulieWunder says
Thanks Gingi! Happy weekend!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
I love this outfit, and it's not just because it includes leggings (although that is a definite plus)! So cute and versatile!
JulieWunder says
Thank you Heather!! I'm all about the leggings too.
Susanna @Zealous Mom says
Super adorbs as always! I love traveling in skirts and dresses. So much more comfortable to me than jeans or pants. Ugh.
JulieWunder says
I totally agree!
Jess @hellotofit says
Loving the neutrals for today 🙂 Can't go wrong with comfy but cute for the airport!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Jess! I could not agree more.
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
I have a similar WHBM tunic I need to go find it! Their stuff is super comfy. Love the look on you
JulieWunder says
It's great and good quality too!
Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
I love how versatile this dress is! I'm actually heading to Seattle this weekend, so I'm packing all my warm clothes and umbrellas!
JulieWunder says
Totally! I hope you have a great time.
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
You would be the person who looks amazing even at the airport! Love this dress!
JulieWunder says
You are too kind! I have my moments-- don't worry 🙂
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I love that dress! I have one very similar that is white, black and red - so comfy. And chic! Have a great weekend!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Nicole! I hope you have a great weekend too!
Mary Beth Jackson says
great look and yes, perfect for traveling! The print is great too- you can always hide a little something if you need too 🙂
JulieWunder says
Exactly! I totally agree 🙂 Happy weekend!
