Busy Days

October hasn't even started, yet, and I'm already exhausted by it. Part of it is work-related and out of my control. But the other part of it is completely my fault because October means fall, and fall means a nonstop schedule of weekend activities and the start of the holiday season.

(Why yes, I do consider Brigid's birthday the official start of the holiday season...I like to decorate and throw parties and any excuse is a good excuse in my book...).

So, anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that when you start to notice the bags under my eyes, or the fact that I haven't had time for a haircut since the beginning of August, or if I seem to forget I've been wearing the same shirt for a week, a gentle reminder would be much appreciated, ok?

Thanks.

And now...it's Inspiration Monday over at Two Birds!

The inspiration (which made me think nothing but thoughts of I have GOT to get my hands on a sparkly jacket!):


And the outfit (which is seriously lacking in sparkle, obviously...):



Tank: WHBM
Jacket: Kenneth Cole (outlet)
Jeans: MICHAEL Michael Kors
Shoes: Nine West

  1. You look cute, Tara!! And let me just say, I know what you mean about busy! Ugh. Work has been crazy and I haven't been able to focus on the last few things I need to do for school and I just feel overwhelmed and in a crappy mood because of it! Blah.

    Sorry I just ranted all over your cute blog!! I actually love this time of year, too. From now till New Years, I'm loving it and then on January 2nd, I'm ready for spring to get here asap! =)
