Orange you glad I got another brightly colored dress?

Sorry, couldn’t resist. This dress looks rather red in these photos, but it’s definitely more orange in person. I generally avoid orange at the risk of looking like a constructions cone (#palegirlproblems), but something about this particular shade and the structure of the dress made me feel like I could get away with it. Is it working? Don’t answer unless it’s a “yes.”

I don’t know if you noticed, but I decided to start adding more “real life” details about my outfit. Scroll up if you missed it. That’s the point of this blog, after all. The weather and what I’m doing on a particular day really are the main factors that go into my outfit decisions, so I thought I would make more effort to share that info. Just in case you’re worried I’m turning into one of those “aspirational” bloggers, worry not! I promise to never do anything aspirational.

Well, now that it’s officially summer, might as well wear the summeriest damn outfit that ever did summer. Gingham shorts, a straw hat, and a shirt with a giant piece of fruit? Tell me how to make this outfit scream summer any louder. I’m waiting…

That’s what I thought.

In case you’re wondering what’s happening behind me, it’s not a meeting of the Sarah’s Real Life Fan Club (those are way bigger). Last weekend I went to Symphony on the Prairie with some friends, and we spent the evening picnicking, drinking, and watching the sunset while listening to gorgeous live music. Again, just try and tell me how to get more summery.
