The Robe

Microfleece Robe from Target

This is my new robe, but in plain black. I got it for 50% off at Target.

My family was never one to wear bathrobes. If I was cold I’d walk around wrapped in whatever blanket was handy. I’d even sit at the table wrapped in the blanket. My mother would sigh, roll her eyes and say, “You can’t be THAT cold!”  I’d reply, “Yes, I can and I am. Why do you think I’m wrapped in a blanket?”

If you saw me dressed as Arthur Dent for Halloween, you know I have a lovely purple checkered robe. But, it just wasn’t the warm and cozy robe I dreamed of.  When walking through Target on Black Friday, I saw a display of these Microfleece robes and I had to have one. Sure it’s a men’s robe, but that Microfleece is awesomly soft and warm and cuddly.  Plus, as a men’s robe it doesn’t have that stupid inside tie thing. I hate the extra tie on the inside of women’s robes. I tried the robe on over my jacket, figuring if it wraps around me in my coat, it is perfect. And it did, so it was, plus it was 1/2 price AND it comes down to my ankles!  This robe is BETTER than a Snuggie. This robe is AWESOME. It means I can turn down the heat and still be toasty warm. This robe discovery has been the best thing ever. Turning down the heat doesn’t just mean spending less on the gas bill, it also means I don’t have to keep turning up the TV volume. The heater is so loud I have to crank up the TV just to hear it.  So, if you have yet to discover the beauty that is The Robe, I highly recommend this one.
