Chocolate Parfait

June 8, 2011




 
 
{Chocolate Brown Khaki Pants ~ Dockers / White Tank ~ Hanes / Neon Yellow and Taupe Cardi ~ Banana Republic / Brown and White Striped Wedges ~ Urban Originals / Mother of Pearl Dangly Hoop Earrings ~ Handmade, gift / White and Rose Gold Watch ~ Gruen

Neutral and NEON = the perfect combination. 

I had to do the good old "tuck and roll" to my pants today. These brown khakis seem to have shrunk in the wash, getting even shorter than the last time I wore them.  And because they were the only pair that I could easily grab that worked with this cardi, I had to wear them.  I've been having those chaotic moments in the morning lately, not having a clue what to put on. 

Standing in my closet for way too long, waiting for something to jump out at me.  I should start deciding what to wear the night before. I am teaching my kiddies to do that now.  There have been way too many mornings where we are running late because a uniform shirt is missing or a matching pair of socks is nowhere to be found.... that is until I rush in and find a pair, saving the day.  Or morning.  I should practice what I preach, huh? LOL

An excessive heat warning has been issued for the rest of this week.  That means I will be wearing a skirt or dress tomorrow, Thursday and Friday.  As much as I complained in the winter about the cold and snow, I won't say one word about the heat.  BRING IT ON! ;)

P.S. ~ thanks for the sweet comments on my last post.  :)  Lesson learned: even if I am not a fan of an outfit, there is someone out there who will be inspired.  And I love it.



xoxo, thanks for reading!

  9. Girl....I had to do the same thing with my pants this morning b/c they shrunk. I hate wearing high-waters and I am thinking of taking them to the tailor and turning them into a cute pair of slim ankle trousers. Hey....when life gives you lemons make lemonade, right:-) xo
