20121107-180713.jpgThe time change and shortened days are really confusing me and messing with my photo-taking time! Now I end up staring at my own shadow on the wall. I really want to make up an imaginary conversation between me and my shadow, but (a) I am not Peter Pan, and (b) it’s late and I don’t feel like being clever.

Instead, I’ll tell you a trick that probably everyone else already knew except me: To keep my jeans from riding up when I slid on these boots, I put snug-fitting socks over my jeans first. It’s like I can see clearly for the first time…with my feet.

Sweater: Macy’s, old (closest thing I could find but cute!)

Jeans: Madewell

Boots: Steve Madden, old (similar here and here)

Necklace: Target

Delusions of Grandeur

Happy Thursday, folks. Today Sarah’s Real Life is featured on the blog of a fellow petite and broke graduate student, Bonnie. Her blog is called Delusions of Grandeur, and she runs a series called Academically Inclined where she features stylish women of academia. That’s where I come in.

Take a moment to stop by Bonnie’s blog and see a round-up of a few of my favorite recent outfits, and of course see what else Bonnie has to offer (she’s adorable and I’m jealous of her hair).
