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.

When: July 19, 2021 // Weather: 70 and cloudy // Real life: vacationing in Ogunquit, ME

I TOOK A VACATION! I went somewhere new, sat by the ocean, ate, drank, and only opened my laptop once in a whole week. It was glorious.

If you follow me on Instagram (which you should because my captions are snappy and I never do those annoying reels), you already know all about our trip to Maine to celebrate our 10th anniversary. This was my get-up on our first full day exploring Ogunquit and soaking up the gorgeous views (not this parking lot…I mean pahking lot) despite the clouds.

I highly recommend matching sets for travel. Wear them together one day, then split them up and wear with other basics two other days. Boom, that’s three different outfits without much thought and it conserves room in your suitcase.
