enJOY it

so, it is raining in london.

Which is great. Because in this already packed bag, I have 7 dresses, 6 shorts, 2 skirts, 16 shirts, 1 pair of capris and two jeans. Plus 2 pairs of open toe pumps, 1 pair of flips and those backless-look-athletic-but-are-nothing-of-the-sort-shoes.

None of it is waterproof. All of it is meant for 75 degree California weather.

But no. I am not repacking. I rolled all those clothes so tiny that if I even open that bag to let air in, everything will fall apart.

The most I will consent to is tying on another ribbon and attaching an umbrella. Maybe. I am not sure how I feel about the extra weight.

I feel like this trip is becoming more "Take on the Elements" and less "Take on Europe."

But whatever. Stunnas on. Looking forward to it.

    Checking the blog from Paris. The rain just makes things more exciting!!!! Bring an umbrella thought, because it took us forever to find one under 15 pounds (and there was no way in hell we were paying 30 bucks for an umbrella). Cant wait to hear your stories too!!!
    PS. SO GLAD YOU ARE ON THE OFFICE TRAIN. Finally I can have a girl to chat about it with. I heart jim and pam

    add something a little warmer to the bag… it is also a bit cold in london at the moment. i am listening to the wind blowing outside and thinking of turning on the heat. i don’t think you should totally repack, but it is not fun being cold… have a wonderful trip and have much of the fun… the weather is supposed to improve in a couple of days and then perhaps it well be a bit more like may and june 🙂

    May I suggest you do some unpacking? Less is better. Trust me. And make sure you’ll have room for all the awesomness you’re going to buy in Europe.
