What to Wear Where?

That headline was so good, I actually just stole it word for word from Honestly WTF.

But I was actually thinking about this a lot recently, as we just had our amazing trip to Sedona, AZ last week. And before we left, I found myself shopping for some travel wear and picking out shit that I might not normally wear at home in NYC. I mean, I came home with a bag full of shearling vests, and earth-tone colored sweaters, and navajo prints, and this stupid headband head warmer thing. And when I walked in and showed my husband all this crap he was like: "uhm, are we going to stay at a dude ranch?"

And no...of course we weren't. But also subconsciously, I was totally buying clothes based on what I thought people would be wearing in Sedona. Or at least my fantasy of what people in Sedona wear. Which I realized was pretty much the same fantasy as what I think people in Colorado wear. I mean, if I'm being REALLY real, I was actually thinking about that Oprah episode where she got invited to Ralph Lauren's ranch and stayed overnight and met the whole fam. And since we're already on this honest tip, I guess I should come clean about the fact that in some sort of twisted space in my mind, I was just trying to make myself look all the shit I saw in his house...and on his wife and kids.

Is that the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard of in your whole damn life? Or do you find yourself dressing up for your trips in ways you may not dress at home?

Oh, and p.s.: we're going to Israel in Feb! Can't wait to see what I pull out for that puppy...
