Travails while traveling


Carry on luggage for extended trips to different climates can be intimidating, although I’ve managed going from snow to surf recently with one bag. Of course, I forgot to pack beige underclothes with my light colored slacks for the surf weather. As if that wasn’t humiliating enough (flying free as they say), I also chose the wrong belt for those slacks. Horrors!

Fear not – rather than rush to buy a new brown belt that rides on the hips rather than the waist (even though my old CK belt needs replacing) and rather than hunt for that pair of new black Chanel heels (mentioned in a previous entry and also desperately needed), I suffered my days at the office with wearing the black belt (which also appears to be a bit worn) with my beautiful brown Bottega Veneta heels (which I will be buried in, they are so comfortable) and hoped no one would notice. On top of all this, I’m in another city where I simply love the styles and the exchange rate isn’t as bad (Sydney)!

I must say, if I see a good sale I may have to take a hiatus from this hiatus and suffer the shame and ridicule of blog readers as opposed to that of my co-workers. Then I also can stop trying to figure out whether ski gear constitutes equipment as opposed to clothing and whether sheepskin slippers qualify as accessories or shoes.
