I am leaving town tomorrow for the RewardStyle conference in Dallas (yay!), & although I am getting stoked, I am simultaneously ripping-my-hair-out due to my sky high stress levels. I am already exhausted from all this travelling.
I had three friends a.k.a. my fashion panel come over to help me put together each & everyone of my outfits to the last detail. Truth: I pack with the help of a complete Excel spreadsheets to help keep record of every event/date/weather/outfit. It’s sick, I know.
What I thought would be helpful having my friends opinions ended up being more of a comedy hour on my couch. I must admit, my friends are pretty effing funny.
Popular phrases of the night included: “woofta” “ouchhhh” & “dead“. Somehow between the one word witty responses & the laughing-so-hard-we-are-crying moments, I got each outfit perfectly folded on my living room floor.
Since I am so OCD/off the walls bat shit cray when it comes to getting ready for a trip, I figured I would share some of my pro tips w/ all of you jet setting babes. The way I do it, you would never know I am actually no-pro & not much of a traveler. The stress + my homebody ways + hating airplanes, it’s a surprise I ever been out of the city, let alone the state, let alone the country. OUCH!
