One-Fifth Sparkle

20120822-181249.jpgHello, friends, and happy hump day. I almost forgot I wanted to show you my back-to-school manicure. (I decided that anything I did within the 2-week period leading up to the first day of class, as well as anything I do during the first week of classes, can be labeled a “back-to-school” activity, making it sound more special and exciting.)

These are two new Essie colors, and since I felt I was a little too old for a full hand of sparkly nails, I was drawn to this more traditional and subdued nail color and decided to limit my sparkle to one finger on each hand.

Challenge Complete!

Thanks to everyone who tried out my outfit challenge! In case you’ve been living under a rock, my challenge was to make a new outfit entirely out of items that are 3 or more years old. Here are the bloggers that took on my challenge. Go check ’em out! Thanks, ladies.

  1. biscuits&NAVY
  2. Cardigan Crew
  3. Shop and Twirl
  4. Fashion Addict
  5. Ready… Dressed… Go!
  6. and in case you forgot the outfit that started it all, it’s still here.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Thanks for all the feedback on today’s outfit post! I think the consensus was that all the individual pieces were keepers; it’s just that they didn’t all mesh well together. Which is pretty much what I was worried about! I had thought about not posting the outfit at all, but then I thought…hey, this is supposed to be Sarah’s real life, right? I wore this in real life and I took photos of it, so I’m not going to censor myself. So there.
