Every year, people ask me what I want for Christmas. Generally, either I can't think of a single thing, or the one thing I want is thousands of dollars - not really appropriate to ask a new boyfriend for a new car or new mattress set. This year, however, the one year that Christmas is going to be small to non-existent for the adults in the family, I have a huge long list. The weird thing is that most of my list centers around my feet...
1. New work socks. This does not mean that they have to be boring. I regularly wear the bright orange socks with green toes and heels that I got last year. It's just that, since I'm now wearing business casual everyday, I go through socks a lot faster than I used to. I've already thrown 3 pairs away since moving 2 months ago.
2. A pair of galoshes. I walk 2 miles for my commute everyday. And suddenly, I've been doing that in the rain and ruining the bottoms of my pants. I'd like to protect myself a little bit on the walk to and from the train.
3. A pair of dark brown shoes. Just like my franco sartos (black penny-loafer looking things), but brown. So I can wear them with my awesome brown pants.
4. A rain coat. This is not mandatory. Just a whim. Of course, nothing on this list is really mandatory.
5. Any sort of "work" clothing. Mostly shirts or tops, though. Preferably the kind that doesn't require ironing (light sweaters, etc).
I know you're all dying to go out and get me some cute sweater sets. I prefer boring colors: beige, off white, black, or brown. but I also love a splash of color now and then: maroon, pink, periwinkle, light blue....
