Baby, It's Gross Outside

Let me preface this post by saying that I have less grievances with the weather than your average human being. I really pride myself on being a bad ass New Englander. On this particular morning, I actually spent time doing my hair. A rarity. Unfortunately, I wasn't smart enough to check the weather report. I did this look, a braided headband with  "flirty curls". I used so much hairspray that the fumes/smell woke my husband up. I think he was asking for it, as he sleeps with his mouth open. Just sayin'.

As soon as I finished styling my hair, it rather predictably started snowing like crazy. I had to go out and pick up my kids from school and the walk from the car to the schoolyard completely destroyed my curls. I was wearing my trusty winter hat, so my braided headband was safe (or so I thought). This is my first year wearing a hat. I am still bad ass in my hat, but I'm now a bad ass who is also a good example for my children. ;) After school, we went straight to the city library. As we walked in the door, I lifted off my hat and DESTROYED my braided headband in the process. I loudly groaned in disappointment and a man actually laughed at me. All of this proves that I wasn't meant to have cute hair. I am clearly doomed to have perpetual bedhead. *Sigh*

Married Folks Dialogue of the Day (also known as MFDOTD):

Me: "What do you think my outfit? I totally look like a toddler in a jumper, don't I? 

Husband: "What do YOU think of your outfit?"

Me: "I love it! I own my toddlerness... My toddlerability. It's totally me!"

Husband: Raises eyebrows skeptically

And that, my friends, is your MFDOTD!

Parent/Teacher Conference OOTD

Today I went to 2/3 of my appointed parent/teacher conferences, so I whipped out my brand new Breezy Polkas Cardigan in red. This is my "I hope my child is not a juvenile delinquent/terrible disruption/insubordinate pain in the ass" outfit. All jokes aside, the kids received glowing reviews from their teachers. I couldn't be prouder.


Proudest mom OOTD:

Cardigan: Anthropologie Breezy Polkas

I have decided that I can't do brown belt with black shoes. It gave me a dirty feeling. You won't be seeing that look again on the Lyzipologie blog, ya'll. Not a good look.



Conversation with my husband:

H: "So what is this blog about?"
L: "I post a picture of my outfit every day and talk about what I'm wearing."
H: "Okay...... Do you have enough clothes to do something like that?"
L: "I don't know, baby- Do I?" Enter my most hopeful, doe-eyed look ever.
