Wardrobe Wednesday: banana meets wallie

greetings, friends.

you wouldn't know it
but the house is all packed up and
now waiting for mr. truck to
arrive, be loaded and drive to the new abode.

today we are surrounded by
boxes upon boxes upon boxes.

which is why you are
getting one of my infamous
wardrobe wednesday posts on,
you guessed it,
thursday.

oh, and
this is the clairol
'darkest brown'
that really looks black.

wouldn't you agree?

i'm over it.

welcome, black.

matches my flower.

bought this little stripped tee
at wallie.
i think i paid $4...
maybe even $3.

linen pants?
banana and they were on sale,
plus i had a $10 off coupon.

out the door,
i think i paid $40.
not bad for banana.

can't go wrong with
white linen
on the east coast
in the summer.

you aren't aware of this,
but my family is in the full
throws of transition.

packers came yesterday.
i guess i get a star for being organized and ready.

they did their 'two day job'
in just one.

yeah for being prepped and ready to go.

only problema is,
we are displaced one more day.
truck is still scheduled for tomorrow.

looks like it's family movie day for
team brookes!

Wardrobe Wednesday: lululemon

greetings my long lost peeps.

time flies when you are breaking down a house.

sorry about my absence.

been spackling,
retouching,
sorting and bagging.

you know.
day in the life of a family
getting ready to pack up...
again.

but i did manage to don my
new lululemon dress.


the soccer team i manage (managed)
was so beyond generous and gave me
a sizable gift card for my
fave and yours:
you guessed it.
lulu

this is ONE of the handful of
pieces
i settled on.

it is uber comfortable.
ready to be dressed up or dressed down.

highly recommend.

but i saved the best part for last...

it's reversible!

can you say,
two dresses in one?

total deal.

as usual, would love your thoughts.

oh and this is the clairol dark brown
that is actually black.

getting used to it.
whatever.

wardrobe wednesday: mother of the year morning

ever have one of those mornings?

mother of the year mornings?
ya.
those.

that was the sentiment
in the brookes abode.

stinks.

the day i took this photo was
a good morning.

today?
not so much.

just feeling cruddy.
but these things happen.

especially when you are single-momming it,
with three teenage estrogen fueled girls.

so here is my
wardrobe wednesday.

now i will promptly
start picking myself back up and move on with my day.

tip of the day:
note the positive,
don't beat yourself up,
and unwavering discipline is a good thing
(even when your little girl head off to school in tears)

did i mention i tried to touch up my roots with
clairol dark brown?
when did dark brown equal black?
yes black.

just call me morticia.

oh, let me add that homer snatched food
off the counter for the
kazillionth time.

again,
not a stellar morning over here.

please tell me a story or two about
a morning not so great in your neck of the woods.

need to hear these things.

Wardrobe Wednesday: Red Lips

let me first prepare you
for the lipstick
in the following photos.

yes.
lipstick.
red.

here's the story:

went for a hair trim,
and 3 inches later
came home with
a hair cut.

needless to say,
slapped on some
red lipstick
in hopes to distract
my audience.

hence, the red lips.

trying to bring out
my inner
'conchita'.

ai, ai, ai.

did
'project red lips'
succeed?

Denim: Gap, Sweater: H&M,
Stripped Shirt: Targie,

tell me how you
recover from
hair cut, gone wrong...

would love to know.

www: on the run, anyone?

This is what happens

when you are on the run...

a shot of you and your sis-in-law
in
cruddy workout clothes.

Okay,
Lululemon ain't so cruddy.

Tell me your fave clothes
to work out in.

Would love to hear...

Wardrobe Wednesday: Modern Trousers

Look.

It's not Thursday!
Yeah.
I remembered.

Here are the
Modern Trousers
from Gap.
(Remember this?)

And you know I waited for that
coveted 40% friends and family
coupon before I pulled the trigger,
add another 5% for using my
Banana Card
(kept at zero balance so no worries)
Not bad for $38 buckers.

beaded gold necklace: F21,
stripped Tee: H&M,
belt: Targ

Only downfall to the lovely
Gap trousers...
must be accompanied with heals.

What did I sign up for?
How often to I wear heals anymore?

Okay,
note to self.
Must "bring it",
occasionally.

Tell me about YOUR Wardrobe Wednesday...

Wardrobe Wednesday: Fuzzy Pictures of Gap Denim

Let me start off with an apology,

well, two apologies rather.

Firsts,
no post yesterday.
Bad.

Second,
fuzzy pictures.

Operator Error.
(I say that a lot don't I?)

What does that tell you?

Needless to say,
here it is.

Fuzzy galore...

Jeans: Gap Denim, sweater: Targ,
clogs: DSW

Sad but true...

fuzzy Wednesday.

But thanks for being here.

Wardrobe Wednesday: The Soccer Mom

Well,

yes, I am.

A soccer mom,
that is.

And pretty darn proud of it.

But that doesn't always mean
mom jeans

and these

Here is my version

Jeans: Gap, Button down: Targ,
Striped shirt, Targ,

shoes: Privo by Clarks

What does YOUR soccer outfit look like?
