"I should be packing."

So, I leave tomorrow and I should be packing, but instead I'm obsessively making lists of outfits I might wear on my trip.

Then I laid them out on the floor and took photos of them.

You do that, right?

Tomorrow, on the plane to Washington, DC:

Click on photos to embiggen.

Black leggings, long-sleeved black t-shirt, gray cardigan, black loafers. Very casual & comfortable. Don't want to start out too high because then you can only go down from there.

Tomorrow evening, charity cocktail party:

Black leggings, gray empire waist cableknit sweater, black boots, cuff bracelet & cocktail ring. It's important for me to look appropriately dressed but still kind of blend into the crowd. I'm not the star here.

Sunday, Metropolitan Cooking & Entertainment Show:

Straight jeans, short-sleeved black turtleneck, cropped plum jacket, boots. It's a working day for me.

Monday, on the train to New York:

Boyfriend jeans, short-sleeved black t-shirt, gray cardigan and black loafers. A comfy travel outfit that is still fashionable enough to arrive in the Big Apple.

Tuesday, TODAY show appearance & Wendy Williams taping:

Straight jeans, long-sleeved black turtleneck, cropped khaki jacket, boots. It's another work day for me, and network TV calls for a certain professionalism.

Wednesday, flight to Atlanta:

Black leggings, white t-shirt, black cableknit single-button cardigan, black loafers. This will actually be the longest flight of the trip, so comfort is the priority.

Thursday, TBS studios:
This is the only outfit I haven't decided on. I might wear the sweater & leggings from the cocktail party - I'll want to look cute for all the TV people. Or I might be so worn out that I wear the most comfy outfit I can put together. Or I might wear the only thing I haven't spilled coffee on in the previous five days. We'll see.

I just got these awesome new nail colors in the mail.
I'm going to have my nails done in the gray ("Stormy") tomorrow. It's edgy without being quite so goth as black.

All right kiddos. Going to pack now.
