Palm Desert

When my daughter called me last Monday and asked if I wanted to go with her to Palm Springs for the weekend, my answer was an emphatic "Yes".  I'm a procrastinator of the worst sort so I thought, "I have plenty of time to pack." Before long I found myself running around the house throwing things in a carry all not really paying attention to what I had in the bag. As long as I remembered my underwear, I was good.  Not so. C wanted to enjoy some fine French dining on Friday night and it was then that I realized I had nothing decent to wear.  I had thrown in my bag an assortment of tops and shorts but nothing dressy enough to go to such a fancy dinner.  "No worries", C said, "we'll just pop by Target."

This ensemble isn't really dressy. It's sort of dressy casual. Considering the heat in the desert, I wanted something that allowed my skin to breathe.  So I chose a maxi skirt, clean white tank and the sandals I wore down there.

It wasn't until after dinner that I remembered we needed to take pics. That accounts for the bad lighting and hotel room shots.

While these items were on sale, the price was still a little more than I would normally pay.  An inexpensive ensemble still, it did the trick.  Tank, skirt and earrings-Target, sandals-ShoeDazzle.





For Saturday, it was Italian food across the way at another hotel. Since we were walking I chose to wear something simple again.  Whatever I wore, it had to be light and airy because the heat was still unbearable. And after a full day by the pool, I needed some cooling off, can you tell?
