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.

90s girls rejoice: hoop earrings are making a comeback. And mayyyybe you can even wear them to a Spice Girls concert. (I’m trying not to get too excited about a reunion because the reports keep going back and forth, and if I’ve learned anything from Trump: #1 you can’t trust the media, and #2 tweeting after bedtime is usually a bad idea.)

I can’t quite bring myself to return to the giant silver hoops I used to wear, but these non-hoop-shaped hoops are a great way to bring the trend into the 21st century, if that is in fact the century we live in. Hard to be sure sometimes. You know, because of the Spice Girls thing.
