Weekend Reading

I took the weekend off from outfit posting because I’m in Bloomington on an epic anniversary celebration! If you want to see what I’m up to, you can check out my Instagram feed.

In the meantime, I was picked for Independent Fashion Bloggers’ weekly Links à la Mode again, so for your reading pleasure on this lovely Sunday, here are all the other posts that were chosen. Some of them might even be as good as mine.

On a Trend Bender

Summer is actually the best time to play around with trends. You know why? Because summer is the the best time play around in general! With all the bold colors and prints, the great summer sales, and gorgeous weather, it’s hard not to get caught up in the spirit of going bold. This week’s roundup has wonderful links to get you in the mindset to try new trends, even ones you don’t think you’d look good in. We’ve even got a great DIY for leather shorts, if you’re crafty and don’t want to shell out the dough for a store-bought pair. And even if you’re not crafty, there’s a great guide to hitting the summer sales. If you’re anything like me, it’s too easy to get caught up in a good deal, so I need all the help I can get not to overspend. Anyway, here are the links for the week. Enjoy!

IFB Link Love

Fun news today! A Sarah’s Real Life post was featured (for the second time…humble brag) on Independent Fashion Bloggers Links à la Mode this week. Bloggers submit links every week, and IFB looks at all of them and picks 20 to feature. Part of the fun is that all 20 bloggers post the roundup so all of our readers can maybe discover some new blogs.

So if you have a few spare minutes, click through to some of these other posts! I mean, if they were good enough to be featured with the likes of moi, they can’t be half bad, right?

This week’s roundup has almost everything you need to get your summer preparation going so you can have a wonderfully chic season!
