The soul soup this week HIT. Saving this one to keep in mind ❤️

Traci Landy's avatar

Right?? Felt the exact same when I saw it! The algorithm knows me so well it's kinda scary, lol.

Truly, how wonderful that this was your daughter's best vacation ❤️ It's always a joy to read these Traci. I think we have the same nightstand and looking forward to more ways that you'll style your delicate dress.

Traci Landy's avatar

I think messy nightstands mean we are creative geniuses, right?!

I also hate mini golf and gel manicures. I think I am more like your four shirted husband though on vacations. I like to do all the things and my three shirted husband can only do one big outing a day. Drives me nuts.

Love your outfits, I would freeze in them, are you a person who is always warm? I could happily wear turtlenecks until June.

Traci Landy's avatar

Why do I keep finding myself in our deep chats FULLY aligning with your hubby!?!? I am ALWAYS HOT AND SWEATING!!!!!!!!!!

Danielle's avatar

You’re a sweaty girl!?! I did not know this. You and Danny would get along really well! Not bc of the sweat he is like a chilly old lady but def on vacation philosophy and also just in general.

Traci Landy's avatar

DANNY IS ME, I AM DANNY!

Danielle's avatar

Hahahaha he will love this comment so so much

Loved hearing about your vacation and how a slug trip was just what everyone needed. I've been trying to convince my husband (who is also a trip overplanner!) to do one of these. Maybe post-Dakotas I'll get him on board...

And this was a masterclass in transitional weather dressing! Loved the mix of hard/soft pieces <3

Traci Landy's avatar

I love that!!! I feel like it's all about balance, right? Thank you for the kind words, Erin! I felt so wild wearing the same black blazer 3 days in a row!

Happy to see I am not the only one with a white dress problem, I have 7 and still looking for more! Do nothing Tracy sounds like my kind of vacation friend! 😍

Traci Landy's avatar

Still hoping for an epic meetup one day!! We can go to the spa. 🤣

Noelia Santana's avatar

Yesss! Spa, treatments and then lounging by the pool while gossiping about Substack and life! Sounds like perfection! 🥰

The older I get the more I fantasise about being a do-nothinger (on vacation and also just in life). It’s my dream. When people ask me what I want for Mother’s Day or my birthday I say: nothing. Not because I don’t want a present, but because I want nothingness. No noise. No jobs. No chores. No thinking.

Bliss.

Traci Landy's avatar

Omg yes, Sophie!!! I often reply to that question with: a hotel room for a night completely alone 🤣

Janelle Taylor's avatar

SLUG ON A RUG!!! I love vacation Traci. Vacation Janelle is def the best Janelle, too. I just want to lay on a lounge chair with no one bothering me. How dare my baby need so much attention???

Traci Landy's avatar

You may NOT have your bottle & a diaper change you needy cut lil child! 🤣

Anytime I get a gel manicure, I regret it. Twice in the last year and my nails have finally outgrown the little divots left from the last one (approximately 4 months ago). Never again. I swear it this time.

Traci Landy's avatar

Ugh!!! I caved and did it before vacation. Everyday I look at them I think about ripping them off with a screwdriver. 🤣

Sheena Stimpfl's avatar

😂 wtf are we doing?

Jamie La Rose's avatar

but are you a savoury crepes person or a sweet crepes person?

Traci Landy's avatar

I am a butter/lemon/powdered sugar girlie.... PLEASE DON'T UNSUBSCRIBE 🤣 What are you!? Are there some I need to try?!!

Jamie La Rose's avatar

So you like dessert for breakfast! Honestly I would take them any way, but if you want to make me really happy its any type of savoury, slathered in hollandaise. Sauteed mushrooms and onions, maybe some ham, definitely some cheese.

Traci Landy's avatar

Alright, time for me to study-up on savory crepes!!

Jordan Soderholm's avatar

I think we would vacation well together.

Also - I bought that woven tote for my best friend and it is truly GREAT. I get jealous every time I see her wearing it 🤣

Traci Landy's avatar

Where we going next? Please tell me you like the Caribbean?! UGH that is such great intel!!

Sigrid Djernæs's avatar

I'm probably more aligned with your husband when it comes to vacations, but once in a while I like to borrow my uncle's summer house and just sit and stare at the water and absolutely do nothing.

Traci Landy's avatar

It's all about balance! Poor guy -- I am a DRAG, lol. They often go out without me 🤣

Sogole Kane's avatar

I demand a crepe making tutorial in your next post.

Traci Landy's avatar

Coming right up.........CREPES FOR THE BABES

Elin Strong's avatar

The blazer over the white dress made me feel like a giant heart eyes emoji. And sigh, why can't we just be on vacation all the time? I'm still recalibrating after getting back from ours last weekend.

Traci Landy's avatar

Ultimate stamp of approval! I need to start playing the lotto....

Recalibrating with you, my friend! xx

Tamara Cnossen's avatar

Love the outfits -especially the black and white. And you could never have too many white dresses. I wish I had seen the banana one on sale. And from one allergy lover to another I had my three shots this week. Have a good one Traci!

Traci Landy's avatar

Stay strong, stay vigilant. POLLEN IS THE ENEMY.

Traci Landy's avatar

TYSM, Tam! The limit on white dresses truly does not exist. I should've mentioned with the Banana dress (gonna go back and edit the post) - it's a bit more "linen" colored, but SUCH a beaut!

Kait Santos's avatar

I love this vacation life for you!! I love that your daughter had such a blast while you got to be a slug. The dream!! I also hate mini golf. Maybe it's the Aquarius in us.

Traci Landy's avatar

Yay, thank you, Kait! She must've loved laying on a lounge doing a "connect-the-dot" book as much as I loved loafing. I definitely think a profesh Astrologist would say "hatred toward mini-gold" is very much an Aquarius thanggg.

The Four-Shirted-Husband™ is growing on me ;) I'm definitely the active type myself, but with a huge dose of Danish 'hygge' (if you know you know), chill and relaxation - but definitely in addition to a cool activity - like a good hike or sight-seeing. I like it this way because a holiday for me is doing what I don't get to do on a daily basis. And what I do on a daily basis is sit down in front of my computer. So, I don't need to sit down and relax. I need to move and relax through movement 💗

Traci Landy's avatar

People often find him much cooler than I, so I am not surprised by this 🤣 You're so right - small thing I never do on a daily basis: slowly drink my coffee. And wherever I am that's truly all I want to do! xx
