Stay Warm, Stay Cool

I used to think wearing long sleeves and shorts was ridiculous. Long sleeves are for cold weather. Shorts are for warm weather. So the only logical reason for wearing them together is if you have some malfunction in your car where it blows cold air from the top vents and hot air from the bottom. Right? No, silly. I finally get it. I don’t know about the rest of you, but my top half tends to get chillier than my bottom half. So shorts keep my legs from sweating when it’s warm out (we hit 80 last week! yay!) but long sleeves keep me from freezing once I get inside an air-conditioned building.

Shorts + long sleeves = springtime comfort. It’s like a whole new world has opened up for me. And speaking of new, are you digging these new Cole Haan shades? Because I totally am. I went looking for classic black sunglasses, so naturally this is what I bought. You can’t tell that well from the photos, but the lenses are tinted blue! I think they look like perfect poolside shades (where I probably will not wear long sleeves but you never know).

Guest Post: [Misty’s] Real Life

Hi! I am Misty and I blog over at Balancing A Hectic World. I am so excited to be guest posting today! Like Sarah, I blog about real world fashion. I am a busy mother and wife with a full time job so my wardrobe has to be practical, yet stylish and of course affordable. I love mixing neutrals with vibrant colors. When you are really busy and in a hurry an easy way to add visual interest to an outfit is with a “pop of color.” Peyton (my super adorable baby boy) had his 18 month checkup the other day. I didn’t want to wear the pencil skirt and heels I had worn to work, so I ran home to change before picking him up at Mom’s house. I didn’t have a lot of time to get ready, but I still wanted to look put together and stylish. Vibrant Pink Pants + Neutral Black Henley + Black Flats = Easy outfit that looks put together and is practical for southing and carrying a screaming child which Peyton most certainly was doing(doctor’s offices always scares him!). I guess it beats the last visit which resulted in me be covered in pee, but hey – A mom does what a mom has to do and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you stop by my blog and join me as we conquer the world in the most stylish way possible 🙂
