With the California sun on my heels in a matter of days, the last thing a person would expect is having to hobble around town with a cast on your foot. A hiking trip turning for the worst in a matter of seconds, I found myself lying on the ground with a throbbing ankle and a little Rat Terrier pulling at his leash, eagerly anticipating his next adventure. Now the question on my mind remains: How do I travel in style with a gaudy cast on my leg? Do I resort to workout pants and ugly shorts or do I accept this fashion challenge? I say that I will face this challenge head-on! Here are some tips for the injured who still want to maintain style:
- Avoid wearing tight clothes that might capitalize on your boo-boo. I know this may be hard to do, considering that all the clothes in my closet are not frumpy and baggy but Capri's pants for casts or even a cute Pancho for a broken arm might just do the trick
- Ditch the high heels in the closet and replace with comfortable but still stylish shoes. I own a pair of cute cotton candy pink ballet slippers that I think will be my savior when I'm hobbling around the airport
- You may be injured but you can still wear accessories! Just because you're in a slight deli ma doesn't mean that your cute gold bangles or your Juicy Couture necklace have to stay in your jewelry box. A little accessories just might brighten up your day and take your mind off of your bulky cast
When life throws you lemons your way, there's no reason why you can't make lemonade and still maintain your style.
