Trente-Huit

When: August 13, 2023 // Weather: hot // Real life: birthday excursion to the art museum and fancy dinner

If I’m only going to post on this blog 2 or 3 times a year, might as well make it count right? LOOK AT THIS FABULOUS SET. I WORE IT ON MY BIRTHDAY. I’ve also worn the pieces separately multiple times, but the set is a statement to be made by a Bday Queen.

Just for fun, I searched the Sarah’s Real Life archives and found my birthday ‘fit from the year I started this blog (2012). BEHOLD little long-haired, 27-year-old Sarah rocking her Anthro mini skirt and beaded wedges. Would I wear that now? Absolutely not, as I am currently in my minimalist-Coastal-Grandmother-sustainable-luxury-casual phase. But law school Sarah loved that outfit and I love that for her.

Behold, miracle of all Indiana miracles: The last day of summer was in the 90s, the first day of fall was in the 60s, and it’s been cool and sunny pretty much every day since. Fall is my favorite season (other than Awards Season) and it usually lasts about 3 days, sandwiched between a humid hellhole and a frozen tundra. Don’t worry, the planet is still warming and we’re all doomed, but right now it’s a good time to be alive, especially if you’re a fan of light layers.

You know what I loved about wearing this outfit, besides the fact that I was a comfortable temperature? I felt like it encapsulated all the aspects of my personal style that sometimes pull me in different directions: the tiger sweatshirt is a little edgy, the pearls are a little classic, the loafers are a little nerdy. Also, a good hair day never hurts.
