Dressing for a Road Trip

"Automobile travel permits the smallest and most easy-to-care-for wardrobe, especially if you use car cases that hang straight in the back seat. Wear a full skirt, which does not bind the way slacks might, and will also be acceptable wherever you stop to eat or sleep. At the end of a long stretch on the road, you'll feel less fatigued if you look presentable when you get out of the car. It's human nature. . .

The elements are at you every moment in a car, so protect your head, skin, and eyes with attractive covering."

    Oooh, this makes me want to get a Biggles flying hat with earflaps and goggles, like an old-fashioned aviatrix!

  2. So true! I usually even go so far as trying to wear a cotton dress because then I don't have a waistband digging in to me.
