This week I thought I’d show you what I wore to the Michael’s Blogger’s event – – it’s tricky, to balance “casual/business casual” with traveling – on an airplane you want to be comfy, etc. I was on the more casual side of things, but it worked.
Well, I completely forgot to take a picture the first day. I wore my bling jeans and a navy and white striped, boat-neck shirt. Bling jeans were not an issue flying out of the small KC airport. I learned later that’s not always the case…
The second day I wore my mint jeans and a yellow cardigan – I thought it was a good mix of spring but still warm enough for those chilly conference rooms:
The next day it was meetings in the morning then the flight home. I wore my dark jeans and a nice top. The jeans are my bling jeans again (I tried to pack light) but flying out of Dallas they have those body scan machines – my rear light up red warnings all over the screen. It must be a common occurrence because the lady’s all “are you wearing bling pocket jeans?” – but still then I had to be checked and have my fingers swabbed (what was that for?). Minor delay. And then I didn’t even fly out that day.
I had planned to be home by this next day, so I threw on a free tshirt I got at the Michael’s vendor show and my mint jeans – specifically thinking of the airport body scanner. I also wore the charm necklace I made and my comfy Toms shoes for airport walking – and good thing, because my flight changed gates 4 times – that was a lot of walking!
Thoughts? Do you have a “go-to” outfit for business casual, because I need one!

I have a ton of blazers in non-suit type fabrics and colors – corduroy, cotton, velvet, etc. Throw any one over a t-shirt and jeans, and suddenly you’re business casual 🙂

I LOVE your mint jeans!!! They’re very cute paired with your yellow cardi. I have heard so many horror stories from friends when it comes to bling jeans and airports.

Cute outfit, love the mint jeans!! So do you live in KC area? I live in Western, KS now, but used to live in the big city as well!! Small world!

You look darling in the mint jeans! but I would probably pick the middle (darker) one as a first choice. No, I don’t have any business casual. I have garden, dog-walk-in-alfalfa-field, or church, and sometimes it’s hard to distinguish one from another. lol

Its tough to plan for those events b/c you want to be cute/casual but not overdone. You did great, i have the mint jeans too and its fun to see it paired with the T and looking great. I also like it with yellow. I need to see your bling jeans now!

Great outfits! Love those mint jeans.
An easy business casual look would be a pencil skirt (a stretchy one in a comfy fabric and a great color) with flats and a simple tee and either a statement necklace or scarf. The flats and tee say comfy casual while the skirt says professional. Easy peasy. Same outfit with basic slim slacks works too!
