So now on to what we wore, we went on a cross country road trip for thanksgiving and the entire week and so what we were planning on what to wear for white sands National Park, because that's what we were stopping in New Mexico.

It was a little bit tricky during that time because they weren't sure if it was going to snow or if it was gonna be, you know, weather where we don't have to wear any jackets and the weather was actually really nice.

It was sunny and in the, I want to say it was in the fifties, right in the mornings, It started out in the low fifties and then by the time it was like in the afternoon, by noon it was probably in the high sixties.

So it was high sixties for white sands was like perfect weather.

I thought it was actually originally going to be a little bit a little bit colder.

So we did, we did dress in layers, which is great.

Um and that's like, I think the key for white sands is that you need to dress in layers because the morning start out cold and then the afternoons, it gets pretty hot because you're kind of walking in the sand.

So eventually you get hot and then of course when the sun starts to set, then it starts getting cold again.

So our activities included sand sledding and a little bit of hiking.

So we actually, oh and also sunset photos.

So those are the three things we were going to do for our day in white Sands National Park in the morning when we went snow sliding, I decided to wear my favorite outfit, especially for on road trips.

This cashmere set from Anatomy and they're like a jogger style.

And this is the turtleneck that goes with it and they have some other colors, but I really wanted this nice um, oatmeal type of color to go with the sand for taking pictures.

I thought it would be like a really nice, like a slight color contrast.

I did wear this set, but because I'm, I'm always so cold, I wanted to wear something underneath this.

So usually what I wear when I go somewhere cold is Uniqlo's Heat Tech gear.

So under the pants I wore the base layer and it's very thin.

So it's almost like you're wearing nothing, but it really does help retain the heat.

So I always wear this underpants, but when I go to somewhere cold and I even wear this under jeans that are stretchy and it's, and I can close them and I can button the genes just fine and on the top, I wear this.

Usually actually, I usually wear this unique little Heat tech top under all my sweaters.

So I wore these to underneath and it was perfect.

So the one thing I was worried about was how fine the sand was gonna be and how much it was going to get into my boots.

And so I brought boots that came above my ankles.

I wore these sorrel boots that are easy to put on and off.

And I was a little bit worried that a lot of sand would get in these boots, but actually barely any sand got in and we were running up and down the hills and um, it was fine.

So when at the end of the day, when I emptied the boot, not a whole lot came out.

I really thought more sand would get into them.

And then shortly after we went hiking, I will say I got a little bit too warm so it probably wasn't necessary to where the heat tech underneath.

Um, during the day because when the sun came out and we're hiking, I was starting to get a little bit hot.

Um, so you know, if I wanted to, I could, I could remove this and just have the blacktop and that would have probably been perfect.

I want to know one thing that although this was super comfy and I love the look of it for sledding these pants.

It didn't work out that well only because it's so soft and it was kept sliding off the sled so it's hard to keep my butt on the slide when I was going down.

Um So yeah, probably not the best choice for sledding, but as far as like the hike during the day, these were great, they were fine.

So I wore the opposite color of candy and went all black.

It's very thin and it has this really cool detail on the side.

It's a mesh panel and it's very form fitting.

So stretchy to Yeah, but stretchy and it gives you this really sleek look.

And I don't even know if Express even has these anymore.

But Express does have some cool leggings like this where it has pockets on the side.

If you don't want to wear leggings, you can also wear black jeans with this and it would look totally fine.

I usually get actually all my jeans right now.

Our page, I love paige jeans because they are like this stretchy jean fabric.

It's pretty form fitting and it's very comfortable, black, black, black, all black.

I also wore my unique low ultra slim puff jacket all in the morning and during the day actually during the day, in the afternoon, I took this off but in the morning I did wear my ultra slim jacket and it was definitely warm enough.

Now by the time we started sledding we're going up and down the hill and going up a sandhill, it's no joke you are using so much of your energy.

So obviously I got rid of my jacket and I'm actually really glad that I wore like this thin turtleneck because if I wore anything warmer, I probably would have been dying and I wouldn't have wanted sled anymore.

It just takes up so much of your energy going up that sand hill.

Actually during the day we started seeing some people in shorts and short sleeves because that is how warm it gets.

You know, once the sun comes out and it was full blown son with no clouds around, it was really bright and if you're going up and down the hill multiple times, you're going to start sweating.

Also, I would like to note as far as like some accessories to wear, We always wear our bandoleer.

So specifically this is the Haley case where we have a slot in the back to put our credit cards or I.

Cards, anything you know valuable that you need to keep with you.

What this does is it has an adjustable straps.

So yeah it's a thick nylon strap that's very adjustable and it does come with a pouch.

Yeah so candy has a pouch where you can put you know some extra things in or you can put a caribbean, attach a carabiner to it and have your keys there.

So you just attach it and and it's a cross body so you just put it over your shoulder and just carry everything on you like this.

So this is always something that we have on all of our travels.

Another thing you must have at white sands is sunglasses because it gets really bright because everything is so white reflecting.

It's just like if you go sledding and snow, like the sun reflects off the white sand.

This is an accessory I wore actually was in the morning to but just the hat was not enough for me, especially when we started hiking.

So I wore the hat and sunglasses because it was super bright.

We could barely see if I didn't like squinting like this, if I didn't have sunglasses on, then as far as shoes for me, I actually wore these stylish boots.

These are from amazon and I really like the style of these.

And it worked out in the beginning when I was walking around in the sand, but after a while I got a little bit heavy for me.

So I do wish I had some hiking, like just regular hiking boots um or what I noticed later, and what I did later was just go barefoot, A lot of people just go barefoot on the sand and it's so much easier to walk around just like beach sand, but it actually feels really good because it's really fine.

So it felt really good in between your toes, the sand and really liked it.

Yeah, and it's actually cool sand too, because it's actually gypsum, it's made out of Gibson, so it's kind of like a little bit more compacted and it's very cool.

So during the day is perfect in the morning and at the sunset time it could get a little bit cold, which it did, but I would have rather I'd rather have my foot bare feet and walking around the sand easily than having uncomfortable boots on or not uncomfortable, but just, it was way easier to move around in a little bit of a struggle, I guess in those boots because they're kind of heavy.

So if you're sledding, I would say sneakers or just barefoot works out great for these boots.

Like I wore like these type of hiking boots worked out great too.

And if you're gonna go hiking a little bit further because we probably watch maybe like a mile, mile and a half into our hike, we didn't go too far if you're gonna go even further.

Um I will highly recommend wearing hiking boots, not sneakers because one sneakers, you can get sand into your shoes way way more easier than like hiking boots.
