getting the essentials: spring break

Being that this is my only day off this week, today is my only day that I am able to pack for spring break. Today is the day that I can do laundry, pack everything up, and pick up any last minute must haves.  Come Friday, I will be departing to Florida where I will enjoy the beach and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. So, here, I will share with you the essentials needed during this warm vacation:

The Airport

When travelling in the airport, I like to wear the "biggest" things.  I do this so I have plenty of room in my luggage for other things.  So wear your "biggest shoes (i.e. tennis shoes), your jacket, scarf (I usually stick to one scarf. A blanket scarf is perfect because it acts as a scarf AND a blanket. Perfect for those cold planes),  jeans (I try to stick to ONE pair of jeans. For longer trips, two pairs are good.  These legging jeans are great - they are stretchy and comfy, but don't look like you are wearing plain leggings), and your beach bag. Also, try not to wear any jewelry or belts.  By doing this, the chances of being stopped at the security go down.

Also, don't forget your trashy magazines. They ALWAYS make a trip better.

happy spring break!
