Sadly, I am not talking about “Maintain a perfect blow out every single day”
I was at Target this weekend, running in for Just One Thing, No Really, Stop Looking At Me Like That I Just Needed ONE THING AND THAT IS ALL I AM GETTING, GOD, so of course I ended up buying a new hat and sunglasses:
Yes. I bought $5.99 Target sunglasses because they almost kind of maybe sort of look like the Tami Taylor aviators. Sadly for everyone reading this post who has NO idea who Tami Taylor is, Google Images has not a single good pic of Tami in her aviators, so my advice to you right now is to go buy Season 1 of Friday Night Lights and call me in the morning.
For the rest of you: Look, I understand that Tami Taylor would NEVER wear that hat, but not everyone has the Lustrous Locks, so: hat. But also: Tami Taylor (knock off) sunglasses! I then promptly instructed the husband to call me Tami whenever I had them on, to which he replied something along the lines of “Sure, because I cannot think of a logical reason why I wouldn’t considering logic has left the realm of this conversation a long long time ago.”
ANYWAY, I mostly thought he was humoring me and we didn’t really talk about it again until I came home from work today (oh, HI, when I say “from work today” I mean my first day at the only new company I’ve worked at since I was *23*, so, you know, Hello Life Change) and there were two birthday presents waiting for me.
Now, my birthday is not until next Monday (if you’re doing the math: that’s the 4th of July, and yes it is indeed a SUPER AWESOME day to have a birthday), however it appeared SOMEONE (me) was too excited about presents to keep them a secret that long. I was instructed to pick one of the two boxes as a “pre-birthday present present that is still totally a birthday present”
You guys. He totally bought me Tami Taylor Cowboy Boots to go with my Tami Taylor Sunglasses.
Now, look: I get that cowboy boots are not, for us mortals, everyday wear (I mean, I wouldn’t wear them to a funeral, for instance. Who do you think I am? Lyla Garrity? Sheesh.) But damn if I don’t love them. And they will be worn, oh yes, they will be worn. I know I’m not actually Tami Taylor, but that never stopped a girl from trying, amirite?

How selfless of Mike to get you boots for your birthday so you can look like Tami Taylor!
Welcome to the cowboy boot club 🙂
LOVE the boots. I used to have some…may have to get more.
My birthday is the 14th and I seriously wish I could change it to the 4th! I mean, FIREWORKS. Come on. Happy early birthday to you!! Doesn’t this one end in a 0?? Mine does too. 🙂
Kate, it DOES end in 0 🙂 Happy birthday to YOU as well!!!
That man has skills, sounds like a keeper!!
Those boots are so damn cute! Life list item # 275 is to own a cute pair of boots. Right above it, item # 274 is to have calves that are not man sized to actually be able to fit into said boots. Will it happen? We shall see. But in the meantime, your boots are FABULOUS!
Also, I don’t even watch FNL but feel this overwhelming desire for a pair of aviators this summer. I smell a trip to Target in my future… 😉
WOMAN. I insist you watch FNL. In fact, in a weird twist of “You can’t see the movie unless you read the book”, I do not think you can wear the Tami Taylor aviators unless you watch the show. 😉
Tami,
My husband and I have just started watching Friday Night Lights and are half way through the first season, (yeah, we’re a little behind). I too want Tami’s glasses. I think you may have come pretty darn close in your purchase. I see a trip to Target in my near future.
Your boots are awesome. You’re one lucky gal!
Thanks!!!!
Isn’t FNL the best? I introduced my stepdaughter to it last summer and LOVED going back and watching season 1 all over again. Sigh.
Love it! I have a pair of similar aviators AND i recently found some non-leather cowboy boots that actually look and feel nice, but it had not occurred to me to wear them together for the ultimate in Tami-Taylor-inspired fashion excellence. I will be doing this ASAP.
Oh, and happy birthday to you!!
Where did you get the boots?? Do darn cute!! Thx
Oh, I wish I knew! They were a gift from a store in town whose name I don’t know. If I find it I’ll let you know you!!
