I am still firmly in the “leggings do not equal pants” club, but I’m willing to make an exception for traveling. A 6-hour drive in jeans is not my idea of a good time.

Speaking of road trips, what ever happened to the good old days when ladies wore silk head scarves and statement sunglasses in fabulous convertibles? Romy and Michele know what I’m talking about. OK, so I don’t know if ladies actually did that in the real life or if it was just in the movies, but I don’t care. I’m bringing it back. I rarely drive more than 30 minutes at a time, so when faced with driving 6 hours from my in-laws after Christmas to spend New Years at the beach with my family, I took it as a fashion opportunity.

I mean, really, I treat nearly every day that I have to leave the house as a fashion opportunity, but the road trip was extra special. Despite the fact that my retro convertible was actually a rental Camry.

New thing I’m in to these days: brown.

Old thing I’m still in to as much as ever: stripes.

New thing: retro sunglasses.

Old thing: blonde bobs.

So yeah, you’re pretty much caught up on my fall style evolution. It’s subtle but it’s there.
