Out and about



This is definitely my winter uniform. At least for casual days. I wore this while out over the weekend with all of the Christmas shopping craziness. In the midst of shopping and getting everything else done for Christmas - which I didn't even start on until this weekend - I've also decided to paint 2 rooms in the new loft (done), get the guest room ready for guests (done - remarkable considering that it didn't even have a bed in it until last week), make baked goods for my team at work (done), get a sudden horrific migraine that took up an entire day that I didn't have to give up (done - not that I 'wanted' to do that one). Have I mentioned that one of the worst times of the year for my job is year-end? Fun. But as of Thursday I can check that one off the list too!

Why am I the kind of person who a) needs everything to be 'perfect' before anyone comes over and b)ADDS UNNECESSARY THINGS TO HER PLATE DURING ALREADY STRESSFUL TIMES LIKE THE HOLIDAYS??? Gaaaah. Glutton for punishment, I suppose. I have a mile-long list of things to do while I'm off work but know at this rate I'll probably be asleep most of that time. :)

How do you plan to unwind during/after the holidays??




Ann Taylor sweater, Wal Mart jeans (yes, 2 outfit posts in a row!), BCBG boots (similar), Rebecca Minkoff bag, NY&Co earrings, Charming Charlies bracelet and rings, Michael Kors watch, F21 bangles

    Oh Sarah - we are more alike than I realized! My husband just said this very thing to me: "Why do you stress yourself out by doing things you don't NEED to do right now?" Haha - it's that perfectionist in us, I guess. Btw, love your Walmart jeans! :)

    Sarah, I love your outfit. I keep meaning to tell you that I adore your Rebecca Minkoff bag and I am desperately on the prowl for a similar one, but in a different color...You look gorgeous!

    Hi Sarah~cute outfit, love the boots! I can totally relate about everything being perfect. It's both a blessing and a curse sometimes, lol. Hope you have a wonderful holiday! Have a nice glass of wine and try to relax! ;) xo~Crystal

    I was JUST thinking last night as I brushed my teeth AND straightened out my bathroom vanity AT THE SAME TIME that I am an extreme multi-tasker. I mean, I can't even brush my teeth and leave it at that. I'm like, oh, I have a a free hand...what can I do with it. Plus, not to mention, I'm already thinking about what I need to do next. Overachievers we are, no wonder we're also bloggers.

    Love that bag! I'm not sure how I'll be unwinding after the holidays. Pretty sure it will involve some wine and hopefully a trip to somewhere a bit warmer. :) From Brooklyn with love ~jen

    You seriously glow in white - one of my favorite colors on you!

    I'm just like you - I always give myself extra 'to do' items when I have time off work/university. I'm staring at my list now, a whole page with only 3 things crossed off. So looks like no unwinding will be done this holiday season (except Christmas Eve and Morning...eggnog and rum will take over).
