This week is a super busy week for me! It involves working on a huge grant, a trip to Chicago, countless meetings, photography sessions and executing an event my interns and I organize. I definitely feel like I don’t have enough time to get everything done that I need to such as my class work and other personal projects, but I prefer to be burning the candle at both ends than have a moment of boredom. While this week I’ve had to make some sacrifices to get more precedent things finished, I’m going to try my best to stay on track and get everything done that I want to get done. Vague, I know but I could write pages on “stuff” that needs to get done as it relates to work, school, etc.
I headed out to Chicago on Monday to attend a PRSA seminar on strategic planning all day on Tuesday. I stayed with one of my besties, Courtney and her boyfriend, Ben. That morning I felt like I was a third grader getting dropped off on the first day of school when Ben dropped Court and I at the train stop. Like a careful dad would, he waited for us to get inside before pulling away and we waved goodbye. Then Courtney came all the way downtown and walked me to the Hilton Suites to make sure I made it to the right place before she headed off to work. I love them. I didn’t bring my camera, but when I visit Court and Ben for a weekend next month I’ll have lots of pictures to share of their cuteness and their fabulous new apartment.

Lily kept trying to sneak in!
I wore this last Friday and stopped over at my mom’s on my way to Tieka’s. I thought this outfit would fit the scenery of the barn/pasture in the backyard.
It was a little too cold to just sport the jean shorts so I added my favorite AA polka dot tights. I don’t like feeling too cutesy and so the situation called for a pair of biker boots to toughen up my look. I paired the boots with my favorite fringed, shoulder-padded sweater and shorts. I gave my style-resistant mommy this purse last week when I was in town so I used it for one last time! So long purse, hopefully my mom won’t destroy you too quickly!
You look like a very chic cowgirl! Lily is just gorgeous and your mom is a lucky lucky woman to get that beautiful purse. Naa just kidding! She is lucky to have you!(so she could get the purse!) 😀
I love the pops of turquoise! Perfect combination of casual chic and tough girl.

Wow, you do sound very busy 🙂 Love your turquoise jewellery.
Aw your dog is precious! I'm also digging that turquoise bracelet.

I love the whole look. that sweater rocks!
ok, you seriously have the best bag collection I have ever seen. This one is amazing and the MJ one you had with you on Saturday was fabulous. I admit I was drooling over it that night.
Aww cute puppy. I hope you get everything in order and finished soon! That way you can start your next project, whatever that may be!

These shorts are so great! I hope things start calming down for you by the time this weekend rolls around. At the very least you'll get to enjoy some great weather! 🙂
I know you hear this all the time, but your hair is absolutely beautiful. It's the perfect accessory to all your great outfits.
ohhhh i have that bag (if not exactly the same one, then one VERY similar!), i absolutely LOVE it. i've had it for about two years & am considering seeing if i can get a longer strap for it… i haven't used it in about 6 months & seeing it here is making me feel guilty for putting it aside for a smaller bag…
Absolutely love your bracelet, also how you kept everything neutral and just allowed that solitary pop of colour to shine through.

Girl, your hair is fabulous!! I'm so jealous! And your shirt, your boots and your tights… love all of them!! You sure have an eye for this kind of stuff.
You have the most amazing tough-girl style ever! A little bit of 'cute' never hurts. Really love your shorts, hope you don't mind me saying but they fit so well! & I really love your sweater. Maybe Zara stocks it over here, if it's recent…
