Errand Errors

{Blazer, watch, tank - Target; Scarf - TJ Maxx; Earrings, bracelets, bag, jeans - F21; Shoes - Bakers} 

I seem to have this incredible knack for learning things in life the hard way.  Like learning that hot pots are not supposed to be placed directly on a laminate countertop - don't ask my mom about that one, it is still a sore subject 20 years later.  Or learning that a curved umbrella handle is made to fit in your hand, not your mouth . . . yeah, again, don't ask because I most certainly will not tell.  My brother, however, would be more than happy to tell you.
Well, after the past few years of being a more responsible adult and having only a limited block of time to run errands, I have one more lesson to add to the list: think before you run.  There have been countless times that I have just run out the door without thinking about what I am wearing or what I need to bring with me and it has made for some very unproductive and miserable outings.  I have learned that leaving the house in ratty old sweats has the potential to lead to some embarrassing moments, and wearing my highest heels is terribly uncomfortable and exhausting if I am running all over town.  I have also learned that carrying a clutch just takes up useful hand space, no matter how cute it is and to wear or bring plenty of layers since the weather changes faster than gas prices.  So here is my methodology for a day of running errands: get dressed, be comfortable, keep your hands free and don't forget anything.  You do not have to look like you are going to a black tie event, just look put together; throw on a blazer, a scarf or some jewelry, and you will look like you know what you are doing.  You never know who you might run in to and I bet you do not want to look like you rolled out of bed and onto a train track when the person you run in to just happens to be an ex-boyfriend.  You can thank me later.
