Bloops and Bloopers

On Wednesday night I went to an event with some other fashion-minded Indianapolis residents, and I figured what better time to bust out the boyfriend-jeans-with-heels look. It was a good time, and I got several compliments on my sweater, which just confirmed that I made the right choice in remixing this bad boy.

Also, I am really loving this necklace! I’ve been doing a lot of statement jewelry recently (like yesterday, for example), but sometimes I like to go the dainty route too. This necklace is what I like to call a “bloop.” That’s a very technical jeweler term that refers to a short chain with a small pendant. I got this necklace recently at Forever 21 in case you’re interested. I’m having trouble finding it online, but I’ve linked to a similar option below.

On a side note, I’m going to start posting some behind-the-scenes blooper photos (and there are some doozies) on my Facebook page and I’ll need your help creating “captions” for some of them. Next month I’ll do a blooper reel post with some of my favorites. “Like” Sarah’s Real Life here so you can get in on the action!

I’ve gotta keep the blurb today pretty short…I’m writing this at the end of a long day and my eyes don’t want to stay open. They actually haven’t wanted to stay open since about three hours after I woke up. Coffee? Why yes, I tried that. Diet Coke? Yep, twice. Sleeping? That sounds like the best cure.

Before I start nodding off, I’ll point out my remix item of the day: these jeans! Since I’m not a jeans-everyday person, and this is my only pair of distressed denim, I decided they were unique enough for me to repeat. Fun fact: I wore tights under these jeans today and yesterday. Exposed skin and sub-zero wind chills don’t mix.
