traveling stylishly: with young kids

Destination
When I was a kid, my family vacations subsisted on my mom and dad throwing us kids (all four of us) into the back of our family's Cadillac with a bag of Cheerios and a few newly purchased car games to bide the time.  Along with waging war against each other for taking up space, we'd have to endure a day of staring out at the sometimes boring spans of freeway which would ultimately turn into a game of how many cars my dad could pass before we got pulled over. He liked to speed.  The "getting there" was sometimes painful but all was forgotten as soon as we pulled up to the pearly gates of Disneyland. 

Disney has become hip to a parent's needs and if you head to a Disney Resort, you can now enjoy a night out sans the kids while they are treated to an evening of arts and crafts, computer games, Disney movies, dinner and snacks with a caring, licensed supervisor in an environment created just for them.  They won't want to leave!

Style Solution
For moms, there typically is no thought about what to wear because you are so busy thinking about the kids and making sure their experience is fun and that they are taken care of.  Pick 1-2 colors (we selected aqua and olive) and 1-2 neutrals (we recommend denim and white) for your travel wardrobe and stick to those for easy mixing and matching.

Layering tanks and tees, lightweight shirts, Capris, jeans and comfy shoes are important for you along with some great accessories like this belt.   

Travel Tip
Since your hands need to be free so that you can hold your little one's hand whether you're on a ride or standing in line, wear a hip belt that allows you carry things easily.

hi natalie -- the splendid tee neckline is perfect for the gal who has a fuller bustline. Instead of stripes, get it in a solid -- they come in all colors.

Adorable, and looks comfy too. Those tops would not flatter my fuller bust though.
