No, you’re not going crazy. These are 2 very slightly different versions of the same outfit. The first one is what I wore to work on Friday. The second one is what I wore on Friday evening to go out to dinner and see a show. Now you might be thinking, “hmm, that’s odd for Sarah to switch to flats for a date night,” and you would be correct. I had planned on just swapping out my structured gray satchel for the leopard clutch to go from sassy lawyer to sassy date (the sass is non-negotiable). But when I got out of work, it was POURING. I’m talking cats and dogs, and probably some roosters and iguanas in there too. So I opted to leave on my commuting flats to make the maddest of mad dashes to and from my car. I actually still got multiple compliments on my outfit that night. I wanted to tell people to imagine it with silver stilettos and pink Ray Bans, but I opted for a “thank you” instead. But now that we’re on the subject, seriously…imagine it with silver stilettos and pink Ray Bans.

I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

I should really take outfit photos while holding a drink more often, because about 80% of my waking hours I’m consuming either coffee, diet soda, or other substances I’m contractually forbidden from mentioning in this post. (I know I should drink more water, but I usually run out of space in my bladder with the other 3 first.)

The latest coffee product to hit my bloodstream is Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk. It’s pretty G.D. delicious. Full disclosure: I got to try this stuff for free. But you know me; I’m not going to sugar coat anything for you. Speaking of sugar, there’s a lot of it in this stuff, so it’s not really a replacement for your everyday cup of coffee. But the tradeoff is that it has 9 grams of protein (in the single-serve cartons), which makes a vegetarian like myself very happy. I’d say it’s more of a treat, like instead of hitting up the drive-thru for a latte at the end of a long week (where I’ll inevitably also get a piece of pound cake), I can just pour one of these over ice and it’s just as good, if not better. And even if I had paid for this one, it would’ve been a whopping 2 bucks.

I was a little skeptical of the almond milk because I once tried putting almond milk in my coffee instead of creamer and I was not a fan of the nutty taste. But I didn’t have that problem with the Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk (probably because of all the sugar). So far I’ve just tried the vanilla flavor, but it also comes in mocha and caramel. If you’re ready to jump on the almond milk bandwagon, you can find this stuff at Target or hit up the Gevalia website to find other stores near you. You serve it chilled, but I think it’s normally sitting on the regular coffee aisle. Here’s what the packaging looks like:

It also comes in bigger cartons which are allegedly for “sharing.” I have no comment on that. Now that you’re all jonesing for an iced coffee, my work here is done.
