This was actually my first Top 10 Remix outfit, but then I realized I wore stripes 3 days in a row so I posted things out of order in an effort to make myself look less like a broken stripes record. Of course, this outfit involves two different striped pieces, so I’m not sure how much difference the schedule makes. I LIKE STRIPES, OK?! Get over it. It was a struggle narrowing down my top 10 to only 2 striped items, one being this dress. It combines 3 of my favorite things: stripes (did I mention I like stripes?), fit and flare dresses, and anything Madewell.

For those of you playing along in this little style challenge experiment, today’s the day to share! Scroll down to the linkup and add your blog link! I won’t demand that you follow me or anything, but I would very much appreciate it if you would mention “Sarah’s Real Life” in whatever post you add to the linkup, as well as link either to my homepage, to today’s post, or to this post.

Also, can we talk about how I was having a great hair day?

Back when I first started my blog, I took all my photos here on my glamorous gray balcony with Ryan Seacrest siding (it’s  not quiiiite straight). Now when you see me take outfit photos out here it probably means it was raining. I’m trying to document all my Top 10 remix outfits as best I can, so damp Seacrest it is (I apologize for putting that image in your head). The Top 10 item in this outfit is the blush cap-toe pumps. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you probably recognize these from my background photo. I figured anything that’s good enough to represent my blog on social media is good enough to make it in to my Top 10.

Earlier this week, when I didn’t even have the chance to take balcony photos, I wore this little work ensemble (the yellow lace top was my Top 10 item):

For you bloggers doing the #Top10Remix challenge with me, I will post the first linkup tomorrow (Monday)! Assuming I can figure out how to do it!
