Sometimes I don’t say much, but this post merits some explanation. We needed a break, and for several reasons…our break ended up in La Jolla, California.
Although the week off had been planned for a year, those last few days, I was so busy…I found myself packing two hours before it was time to leave for the plane. It was because of this, that I didn’t pack very well. Fortunately, my husband warned me about a possible “chilly” night, so I should bring a coat.
Instead, I opted for my black poncho. Actually, I refer to it as my “snuggy.” It’s funny because I literally wear it around the house, over my night gown if I get cold, or over my nightgown to take the dogs for an early morning walk…or even to church when I have on a dress, but don’t feel like wearing a bra and want to hide jiggles.
Hear me when I tell you, it was COLD and WINDY in La Jolla on the coast and the front desk staff saw me in some variation of outfits every single day which included my poncho and some type of hat – which was to combat the wind.
The Steven Madden booties are extremely comfortable and fun and I was so glad I packed them. It was only in haste that I grabbed a handful of hats and I was glad I did. It enabled me to be lazy and avoid the man in the hotel room constantly asking “Are you ready yet?” When it’s all very clear that I wasn’t ready yet.
While I did attempt to do some light shopping while away…it didn’t go so well, so I decided to be content with old, comfy clothes and hats and I promised myself I’d do better next time.
In the end, it didn’t matter too much because we just relaxed, and enjoyed the natural beauty that surrounds the La Jolla Cove. Sometimes it just has to be about comfort and ease. And, I had my “snuggie.” The funny thing is that a work friend of mine has the exact same one, and she is emotionally attached to hers as well. We always laguh about how fabulous it makes anything you are wearing look, when it’s actually just a “Linus” blanket. Oh my gosh, I am so attached to that thing!
