One of my least favorite activities to do around the house is the ironing. I have to lug the ironing board out of the laundry room, open it (and mine always sticks), then I have to pull out the iron, heat it up, tell the kids not to run in the house because they will knock it over and die, and then I have to iron out all the wrinkles on an article of clothing only to have it re-wrinkle when someone puts it on or sits in the car. It’s like an endless cycle-much like that run-on sentence of mine explaining why I don’t like to iron!

When I was working with Chico’s on my travel wardrobe for my recent trip to Seattle, they suggested I try out their no iron shirt too. I don’t normally wear men’s style shirts, but the thought of a wrinkle free garment sparked my interest, so I accepted it! My husband has a closet full of wrinkle-free dress shirts he wears for work, which I have always envied, so I wanted one too! His clothing is professional, yet it’s all wash and wear. Why can’t women’s clothing be wash and wear too?

This no iron shirt for women from Chico’s is a dream come true. While it can get an occasional crease from sitting in the car, it doesn’t look like it needs any ironing; and it comes out of the wash wrinkle free. Love that!

The menswear trend is still going strong as we head into the fall season. So, I love being able to wear it now. This shirt is classic, and offers both the menswear look, and feminine appeal. I love the 3/4 sleeves and chic button row on the back. It’s like a classic suit shirt with a twist. This shirt can easily be worn under a blazer during the day at work, then when the blazer is removed, it can carry you into the weekend. Love!

I wore this outfit the other day at Santana Row when I met my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun for lunch at Pizza Antica. It was really comfortable and easy to wear in the hot weather. I’m not as tan as I look in the photo of us together, but maybe we can pretend I am that tan?? haha I really wish I was!

Summer into fall wrap top and jeans

wearing: rose gold hoop earrings / lipstick / fall 2018 green floral wrap top / fall 2018 nail polish / fall 2018 tulip hem jeans / Gucci bag / fall 2018 split shaft booties /

OK, can I just tell you how much I love love love this wrap top! It’s so comfortable, and I adore the volume sleeves and dramatic side tie. Sleeves with volume were all over the fall 2018 runways in New York, and this top embodies the trend perfectly; at a fraction of the price of a top from a runway designer. Love that!

Wrap tops and dresses are inherently flattering. This top goes beyond the basic wrap top by featuring a dramatic tie on the side. I love the exaggerated ties which enable me to make a sizable side bow.

Of course, I need to give these jeans a shout out! I have been wearing them non-stop, despite the warm summer weather. I love the tulip hem, and the seams are slimming. The denim fabric is extremely soft too. I could live in them! If you’re tall, they act like a cropped jean, if you are short like me, they hit at the ankle and look like a slim boot cut. Love that! (I am 5’4″ for reference)

I know I have droned on about these boots already, but seriously, they are sooooo comfy! The stacked heel hits in the right place for ample arch support, and the split shaft allows air to flow. This makes them great for early fall when it’s still warm outside, but we all want to rock those fall trends.

This is definitely an outfit I love for the fall season; and foggy summer days. It’s an effortless look which looks like it took some effort! It can be amped up with pumps for an evening look, or paired with flats for a very casual look. Love the versatility!

Best packable clothing for travel | Chico’s Travelers Collection

Best travel clothes for women: wearing: pink top c/o Chico’s (on major sale!) / convertible necklace c/o Chico’s / wide leg black pants c/o Chico’s / black shoulder bag / lipstick / fall nail polish / boots (old-also love this pair) /

Follow me to the Space Needle!

Found the Space Needle! We recently took a family vacation to Seattle where I brought the best packable clothing on the market in my suitcase from the Chico’s Travelers Collection. We took a morning flight to Seattle, so I made sure my family was packed the night before. This meant my clothing would be packed, and smashed, into a suitcase for roughly 24 hours. As you know, this can create havoc on clothing, and guarantee an ironing session once you arrive to your destination.

Thank goodness I had the best packable clothing for travel in my suitcase made by Chico’s! No ironing on vacation! These travel clothes are SO AMAZING! Chico’s makes an entire collection of clothing made for travel! These pieces are made from fabric which does not wrinkle. In addition to wrinkle-free clothing, the entire collection is designed with travel in mind. The silhouettes are comfortable, soft, and don’t take up very much space in the suitcase. I had a weeks worth of clothes in my carry-on suitcase, with a ton of room for shoes!! Love that!

All of the clothing in Chico’s Travelers Collection is made to mix and match. The tops match all the bottoms, and the bottoms match all the tops. It’s an entire travel wardrobe for your suitcase! Everything can be mixed and matched, so it is easy to go from day into evening; and re-wear pieces in new ways to create multiple outfits with just a few pieces. Love that!

Pants or jeans are my preferred sight-seeing style. I like the comfort of pants when I am doing heavy walking and seeing the sights. On day two of our trip, I wore jeans with this fabulous top from the Chico’s Travelers Collection for sightseeing. The top is super comfortable, and I love the edgy grommets on the cuffs. I felt stylish and fashionable in this top; which you know for me is a must!

The top was super easy for taking me from day into evening. I added this convertible necklace from Chico’s and switched out the jeans for the black skirt. The top and skirt were perfect for the evening portion of the day. This outfit worked for dinner, and seeing the city at night. Loved it!

Best travel jewelry from Chico’s

One of my favorite things about Chico’s is that they create convertible jewelry. They have the best convertible jewelry for travel and day-to-day life. This necklace is my second Chico’s convertible necklace. On the surface, it looks like a tiered necklace which is statement making. In reality, it is seven necklaces in one! Love!

There are three necklaces attached at the clasp; which is hidden in the back. You can detach one or two necklaces from the clasp to create a single necklace, or a two-tiered necklace. There are seven possible configurations! You can see me wearing the top tier by itself with the pink top in this post. I also love the middle tier alone with jeans and a tee. There are so many possibilities with this necklace. It is great for travel because it is the only necklace you need to pack. Love that!

If you are planning a trip and need something which won’t wrinkle, or you need clothing for your day-to-day life which will stay wrinkle-free, this is the collection of your dreams! You can find the entire Travelers Collection by Chico’s online at Chicos.com.
