Sarah's Real Life

I have so many flared and shift dresses and not a lot of fitted, pencil dresses. Maybe I should have more of the latter. I hate to speak in fashion clichés, but a great-fitting pencil dress makes you look chic without even trying. I know, I know, I hate myself a little bit for saying that too. But as it turns out, it’s true. I cannot emphasize how little thought I put into this outfit (compared to my normal efforts, anyway) and I think I look pretty awesome. Even against this lame background. That’s another thing about great-fitting pencil dresses: they make you look good when you’re standing next to ugly gray siding. There, now I’ve given you a non-cliché style tip. My work here is done.

P.S. Did you hear? My blog turned 3 on Friday!

Guess what? May 29th marks the 3-year anniversary of my very first blog post! In that first post (which I’m not going to help you find), I shared what I had worn the day before, which was Memorial Day. So today I’m sharing this year’s Memorial Day outfit. Ironically, 3 years ago I thought I was too old to show midriff. Apparently I’ve gotten younger over the past 3 years. OK, maybe just more daring.

People often ask me what made me want to start a blog. People also ask me what made me want to go back to school and become a lawyer. The answer to both is the same: a few years ago I was hypnotized and forced to embark on these insane ventures. If someone could figure out the trigger word to get me out of this hypnosis so I can go back to being someone with free time, that would be awesome.

In the meantime, I now order everyone to go have a drink and toast to 3 years of SRL! And if you want to get my blog a birthday present, just get it some new readers by sharing this post on social media 🙂
