You can blame it on the post-holiday brain fog.
At least, that’s what NBC correspondent Vicky Nguyen did on the Dec. 26 episode of Today, when her fellow anchors called her out for pairing her fashionable purple pantsuit with a pair of yellow UGGs.
Host Peter Alexander asked Vicky to “kick up” her heels and reveal the “Christmas slippers,” which he made sure to note were “a good look.”
“This is the day after Christmas, kind of like mom brain moment” Vicky confessed, “where I thought I had the shoes and I didn’t have the shoes.”
And the reporter—who is mom daughters Emerson, 15, Odessa, 12, and Renley, 8—was thankful the director had cropped the yellow slippers out of the live shot before Peter called them out.
Still, it wasn’t all bad. As Vicky put it, “Listen, they’re very comfortable, I will say.”
Moving forward though, she will be taking her stage manager’s advice and leaving a pair of shoes at the office.
