As a millennial my daily fashion choices are based solely off of what I will be doing. For example, if I know it's a windy day, there is no way I will be wearing a dress.
What we're doing or what we do dictates so much of what we wear. You're a nurse, so you wear scrubs. You're a contractor, so you wear steel-toed boots.
You're a wedding planner, so you stock up on the essentials!
1. A dress WITH pockets
It's so important on the day of to remain hands free, while also being a pack mule. How does one accomplish this? Pockets. Seriously, my pockets have held some interesting, yet important things!
2. C-O-M-F-O-R-T-A-B-L-E shoes
Wedding days can range anywhere from 12 to 16 hours. Trust me, you need comfort.
3. A 'Mary Poppins' sized bag
Seriously. From carrying a binder with all the sacred information to a sewing kit...you need a bag that would even make Mary Poppins say "oh my!"
4. Sunnies
Since most wedding ceremonies take place outside, sunglasses are a must...they are good for hiding tears, too, if you're a crier (like me).
5. A watch
A major part of being a wedding planner is timeliness. Do yourself a favor, and invest in a watch if you haven't already since your phone is not always the most convenient to check the time. And, if you're an Apple fan, like myself, get an Apple Watch - texts, calls, emails, all on your wrist. LIFE SAVER.
Sure, fashion is a way to express ourselves. But, with the right wardrobe, it can be practical too!
