This morning I overslept a bit. I rushed to get ready–black top and jeans–whatever is easiest. A little mascara and red lipstick go a long way. When I got to David’s school I realized I had forgotten his backpack–so I had to run back home and grab it. Then the school called to say I mixed up the boy’s lunches {David eats a special diet} so I had to go to two different schools and swap their lunches back. Then I ran to the workshop, was late for a meeting and we quickly took some ‘what I wore’ pics. My first thought when I saw them? Wow, I have BIG HAIR! It goes right along with my crazy day. Woohoo! This is my life.
Feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t have it all together? We should hang out. Life is so imperfect and sometimes completely NUTS! I need to take a deep breath and get myself an extra large iced tea.
Outfit details: Jeans, Big Star via Zappos {similar}. Sheer tunic, K-la {I got this on my trip to North Carolina with Incourage}. Sandals, Miz Mooz {similar}. Sunburst ring, My Shop. Tiny initials necklace, My Shop {LOVE!}
Did you see we have a BIG end of summer sale happening?! Take 20% off the entire shop with code ‘sunset’. It’s a good day to treat yourself to a special necklace or a couple stacking rings. Click here to shop.
Thanks for sharing this. I needed it today. Sometimes we only hear how things went well & we wonder how we are not measuring up. I appreciate the good days when things run smoothly & try to take a deep breath on the days when it is a bit more bumpy. Good luck as you get adjusted to the school routine. Hugs
Bought the sunburst ring. Not true to size (too small) and stone fell out within 2 weeks.
Hello Lisa, I’m so sorry! Have you contacted us at customer service at Lisa Leonard dot com? I want to make this right. xx
I agree ……not true to size, too small. Just sent mine back to be resized with a fee of course.
The bigger hair the better, I always say! You can’t avoid it with these curls!! I hope you did get that iced tea and took a deep breath. We’re all just doing the best we can. xoxoxooxoxoxoox
Love your big hair, you look great! If we didn’t have days like that a great day would just be the same as all the others.
Raising my hand here is a fellow mama who does NOT have it altogether but is laying down my pursuit of perfection daily and stepping over the messes with joy for the gift of each day. 🙂
Always love your authenticity and ability to embrace the moment you’re in. xoxo
Lisa,
I am a long time reader and want to say “thank-you” for always encouraging me. Thank-you for being real with the rest of us and giving us a glimpse of all the areas of your precious life. By the way, I love the big hair! Go big or go home 🙂 as they say in Texas (I’m an Arkansas gal, close enough for the big hair to apply!)
I have curly hair as well and found the perfect stylist 12 years ago. Her philosophy? Go big or stay home. You’re adorable.
Love your hair! I too have crazy big curly hair. What do you use in it?
