This is a huge no on boots with a dress. Srsly, straight from the wardrobe of Blossom & Six.

I don't think it is too cold this summer, it has been too hot for me as of late. Too hot being over 75 degrees. I'm seriously sitting on my couch with boxed sangria from Target in my pink tiki straw cup with frozen fruit in it because it is 85 degrees outside.

So umm yeah, NorCal, kind of a contentious term for me, though not as bad as Frisco or Cali. The only person who can ever get away with calling it Cali is L.L. Cool J if he's singing to me. The whole thing is had to define, where does it start, Monterey? Does the central valley get included? What about the Sierras? To be truthful the area around San Francisco aka the Bay Area is nothing like the coastal communities, the Central Valley, or the Sierras. The people in those areas can be much more rural, white, conservative, and oh, kind of like where I live now.

I see people with their Nor Cal pride stuff, giant ass decals, always on pick ups here, t-shirts, and so on, but I don't know anyone who wears it (it is sold in Zumiez, which is a mall chain, which we have where I live). There's definitely a streak of provincialism that comes out of me when people say they are from San Francisco and are really living in oh, San Bruno or Walnut Creek. There is nothing wrong with being from the Peninsula or the East Bay, but if your area code isn't 415 and you didn't live in The City, be loud and proud. Inside San Francisco proper, we break it down by neighborhoods and get provincial on the provincial.

Perhaps one way to designate the difference is if people in a community say 101 or "the 101" when mentioning their freeways. Hella and like would have worked but ten years ago No Doubt fouled that one up with their album Hella Good.
