How I Do It Tuesday: Disney World Fashion

I realize this could be a post for "Fashion Friday," but I will save that for how I've been doing with my challenge. My biggest grievance with people on vacation, is what they wear. ESPECIALLY at places like Disney World. Yes, you're walking and standing A LOT. This doesn't mean you have to look tacky. You also don't have to spend a lot of money. Old Navy has great shorts out this year that are just as nice as J. Crew, and a fraction of the cost. I did end up buying new shorts for the trip, but I pooled together lots of shirts I've had for years to have cute, comfy clothes for standing in line. :)

Saturday (the day we left) I wore boyfriend jeans from GAP, a blue pocket tee and my Tory Burch wedges. I also took my old standby with me, my infamous Ole Miss hoodie. I usually get cold on planes, so it helps. This is also why I wear jeans. I wear my wedges because they look a little dressier (if I had it my way flying would be like it was in the 50's and we'd all dress up on our flights) and because they take up more room in the suitcase than my flipflops so it's more room for outfits! :) Also, unless I absolutely have to I never check a bag. Yes, I pack a lot but I get it all in ine roll-on bag. I don't want to have to deal with the chance of losing my luggage and then not having my stuff with me.


Sunday: Magic Kingdom
Shorts: Old Navy (found here)
Top: Ann Taylor Loft (old
Sandals: Old Navy (I actually ended up wearin my Chaco sandals that day instead, thinking these sandals are so flat they'd hurt my feet. Big mistake! Yes, the Chacos are comfy as far as the soles but 14 hours later the straps rubbed blisters and I didn't wear them the rest of the trip. The $20 Old Navy sandals ended up being the most comfy ones I own!)
Watch: Michael Kors
  
Monday: Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom

 Tuesday we didn't go to the park. We had 5 day tickets so we decided a break halfway through, would be best. It was a good decision, as it rained all day. I don't have a picture of my outfit laid out but here I am with my friend Jaimie, who was in town for business so we got to meet up. Always fun!

I packed a few other things just so I had some options (a dressy romper incase we went somewhere nice at night and one more shorts/top combo). The other biggest help I had was a post my fellow blogger, Leslieposted a few weeks ago. If you know me at all, you know I am not one to just wash my hair and go and wear it wet out in public. I like to wash, dry straighten or curl, maybe do a bun or ponytail, but never NOT do my hair. However, on vacation (especially one where it's humid and all that drying and straightening would be a waste of time) I don't want to deal with it. Thanks to Leslie's post I was totally saved on vacation. She talks about using Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. I have a bottle I bought forever ago, but just stopped using it. What a lifesaver! I simply would wash my hair, towel dry it (I do have to blow dry my taking-forever-to-grow-out-bangs) and then I put on my makeup, get ready and sprits some Surf Spray in right before we'd leave. I scrunch with a towel a little bit (the oil in your hands can cause frizz) and I'd be ready. Super simple. I had those cute beach waves without a lot of effort. This also helped with getting gone early enough because at Disney you have to be up and at 'em!

Stay tuned for a post on everything we did in Disney!
