Sarah's Real Life

Allow me to tell you about how hard my life is: I had to get up and go to brunch TWICE last weekend. I mean, can you imagine? The stress of choosing between French toast and Belgian waffles two days in a row? I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy (which is Kenny G, if you were wondering).

Not to worry, though. I have a feeling my brunches and other overwhelming weekend activities will be reduced the rest of the summer because…we finally closed on our house! YAY! Now the real fun begins. 😉

Naturally, I’ve created my own hashtag for all my house-related posts on Instagram: #sarahsrealhome. I don’t plan on becoming an interior design blogger by any means, but I do hope to have some decent (and budget-friendly) room makeovers to show you in the not-too-distant future! Stay tuned…

As I strutted down the hall at work in this outfit, my breezy kimono flowing behind me, one of my coworkers stopped me to tell me how amazing I looked and how she could never pull off something like this.

You guys, let me tell you a little secret. Half the time, I don’t know if I’m “pulling it off.” I second, third, and fourth guessed myself with this outfit. Was it too…”fashiony” for my office? Did it look like I was wearing a bathrobe from the back? I resolved these insecure thoughts by putting on some heels and lipstick and deciding I looked awesome. Shoulders back, chin up, determined stride.

And that’s how you “pull it off.”
