Skippy Says: I'm Hangry (OOTD)

I get Cranky when I'm hungry. As in, Ca-ran-ky. Notice the capital "C"s. You think I'm kidding? Don't let my 5 foot tall frame fool you, I am t-e-r-r-i-f-y-i-n-g. So terrifying, in fact, that my mom and Ryan have taken to carrying emergency snacks on them at all times in case hunger strikes and we're not near some place where I can get food. Now do you believe me? I told this to my boss once, and she told me that she is the same way and that when she was a little girl her mother used to send her to camp with a sign that said "Lauren gets cranky when she's hungry." I'm thinking I should get me one of those. That way, the poor random strangers I snap at for no reason sometimes might understand. Oh, and if my smile looks a little forced in the photos below (especially in the third one) it's because I was getting hangry, and wanted to get these shots done quickly so I could go eat.

    I get hangry too. I love this term. I like to leave food in my car just in case hangry strikes. You are funny! Adorable outfit, love your trench too. Dawn Suitcase vignettes xo

    lol at the getting hungry thing. I'm cranky in the morning, then I suddenly get obnoxiously happy. Once the sun starts to go down though, I become really cranky again. I should probably move somewhere where they have long days everyday. hahaha

    I love that jacket and your earrings. Believe it or not, I think your nail polish color is fab! (I'm going for my biweekly mani tomorrow. LOL)

    Ha ha! I get cranky when I am hungry too. When I was pregnant with Kayla a friend was picking me up to go eat. She was late and I started crying, lol! I was hungry, but I really just think it was the crazy pregnancy hormones, lol! Anyway, you look adorable as usual! Heather

    Oh, I share your hangry feelings, I get so short with people when I need a snack. Per usual you look fantastic, that coat is so cute and the pleated details on the skrt are sweet too! You always do a great time of combining colors! Have a great weekend!

  13. LyNovember 18, 2011 at 6:24 AM

    I get super cranky too when I'm hungry...and it gets pretty bad. I have this relationship with food where I love it then I hate it after I eat? Probably not healthy right? hahaha.

    Another great outfit chica!!

    Cute trench! And I love the color of the skirt. My husband carries "treats" with him when we are out in case hunger strikes me - he calls it the "Danger Zone." Oddly, since I've switched to a vegetarian/vegan diet, I haven't been hungry at all!

  15. AnaNovember 18, 2011 at 7:21 AM

    Well, I don't get as cranky when I'm hungry but I'm not too happy either...especially since I always, ALWAYS forget to bring a snack with me. I love the red skirt, I need to find myself one just as pretty, I don't have nearly enough red in my closet.

    My best friend's dad was seriously contemplating a divorce from her mom because she would get murderous during certain times of a day. He then figured out she was hungry. So yeah, a sandwich saved their marriage.
