Someone (it might have been me) said I looked like I was going on a classy safari in this dress. So I obviously had to buy it, as classy safarian (safarier? safariee?) is my go-to look for everyday. A normal safari is generally warmer from what I understand, and practical footwear is required. But for a classy safari, layers and ankle boots are the way to go. Then you just replace the binoculars with a cute suede crossbody, and you’re ready to observe commuters in their natural habitat.

Tomorrow I head to NYC for my nerd conference in the midst of Fashion Week madness. Follow me on Instagram (@sarahsreallife) if you want the play-by-play!

I didn’t really have a good weekend. I had a great weekend. It was all thanks to two friends who came to visit for the first time in a very long time even though they only live an hour and a half away. (Are you listening, ladies? This kind of friend neglect will no longer be tolerated.) We took them out for a boozy brunch, then to Hotel Tango distillery for more booze, then to Target because they live in a city with no Target (tragic, I know). You know how they say it’s more fun to go to Disney World with kids because you get to see the magic through their eyes? That’s what it was like going to Target with people who have been deprived. I may have gone home with a new bag, shoes, and earrings. What can I say? I got swept up in the magic.
