It’s o"cially time to put away your white jeans and summertime out#ts and get ready for “sweater weather!” Fall is a great time of year in La Jolla; the cool breeze mixed with partially sunny skies still leaves us in great weather conditions. Being as fortunate as we are to live in San Diego, it is still possible to pull o$ some sum mer dresses and board shorts during the fall. As it continues to cool down, LJHS students prepare to bundle up and get cozy. For the ladies, boots, jeans, and sweaters are a must! It is always im portant to be comfortable while in class, especially on the colder days. For the guys, %annels, jeans, and sweatshirts will be perfect for school. Of course guys should be prepared to give up their sweatshirts for a special someone or even just a friend in case that someone forgets to bring their own. It is time to switch up your - summer wardrobe, and be sure to keep warm as the weather will continue to get colder LJHS students! Happy fall! - Photos courtesy of Skip McCullough
