Resurrected

When: March 2024 // Weather: not spring yet // Real life: office

I put these photos on Instagram per usual, then thought to myself: Damn. I LOVE this outfit. Like I really love it. This should go on the blog. That way, when all the social media platforms are outlawed or implode, I can still look back on this random day in March 2024 when I felt cool.

I bought these Anine Bing leather (real leather) pants secondhand on The RealReal. They weren’t exactly cheap, but according to my girl math calculations, they were an amazing deal compared to brand new. Turns out they were such a good deal because there was a big mark on one leg. I wasn’t about to let these gorgeous, buttery soft pants go to waste, so I took them to a professional leather cleaner and voila! Good as new. What a touching secondhand story, right?!

I loved this look so much, I recreated it the following week. I kept the belt, and swapped in different stripes and different boots. The weather is finally warming up around here, so I think we’re done with leather pants season, but expect to see these beauts lots more next fall and winter.

When: August 13, 2023 // Weather: hot // Real life: birthday excursion to the art museum and fancy dinner

If I’m only going to post on this blog 2 or 3 times a year, might as well make it count right? LOOK AT THIS FABULOUS SET. I WORE IT ON MY BIRTHDAY. I’ve also worn the pieces separately multiple times, but the set is a statement to be made by a Bday Queen.

Just for fun, I searched the Sarah’s Real Life archives and found my birthday ‘fit from the year I started this blog (2012). BEHOLD little long-haired, 27-year-old Sarah rocking her Anthro mini skirt and beaded wedges. Would I wear that now? Absolutely not, as I am currently in my minimalist-Coastal-Grandmother-sustainable-luxury-casual phase. But law school Sarah loved that outfit and I love that for her.
