I have a few outfits cued up and ready to post (I wear clothes nearly every day, after all), and I’m going out of order with this one. But I realized just in time that today is the 5-year anniversary of Sarah’s Real Life! And it just so happens that these wedges were featured in my very first post on May 29, 2012. Prepare yourself…my hair was brown, and I took photos on my iPhone. In the past five years, the quality of this blog has improved by leaps and bounds. Well, maybe one leap and one bound. Still, it’s pretty decent. Thanks to all of you who stop by once in a while to see what I’m wearing and what I’m complaining about. Hope you’ll stick around another 5 years, if only to see how long these wedges last.

When: last Friday // Weather: warm and humid // Real life: day off with my family! brunch and walking on the canal

I know everyone was worried that I didn’t yet have a sweatshirt with pom pom trim. Random French words, 3D flowers, embroidery…yes. But pom-pom trim…no. Worry no more, my friends. I’m all set.

And what better occasion to wear a festive yet casual top than a Friday off work spent with my lovely parental units? We started out the 3-day weekend strong with a fantastic brunch at Milktooth (I had the carrot cake waffle and some kind of magical espresso drink with cardamom), then took a nice walk along the canal. After that intense leisure time, we all needed an afternoon nap before going out for dinner and show.

I’ll look back fondly on this time last week as I slave away this weekend to make up for those lost hours! Happy Friday to all.
