Allow me to take you on a journey of what goes on in the mind of a shopping Sarah.

First: “I have a coupon. I’m basically a millionaire so I’m going to get new shoes.”

Second: “Wow, these shoes are kind of ridiculous.”

Third: “But I can’t stop looking at them. Maybe I’ll try them on.”

Fourth: “They fit! But they’re still ridiculous and they match nothing.”

Fifth: “I’m obviously going to buy them.”

And there you have it. That’s how the magic happens.

I call these my “Florida” sandals because the print looks like it should be on a couch in a Ft. Lauderdale condo that was furnished in the 1960s. You probably won’t see me wear them that often (because, again, they don’t go with anything else I own), but aren’t they fun?!

This past weekend was opening weekend of Symphony on the Prairie (they call it that because it’s informative but sounds classier than “Music in a Field”). I made a chickpea pasta salad with lots of summer veggies, packed up my picnic blanket, a bottle of rosé, and a couple fabulous friends, and listened to Beethoven’s Fifth while watching the sun go down. In other words, I live a really tragic life with nothing to be thankful for.

I usually go more casual for SOTP, but this dress came in the mail the same day and it was so light and summery that I couldn’t wait to wear it. Plus the longer length is perfect for lounging on the ground and reaching repeatedly for the wine without flashing the rest of the prairie. I could easily wear this dress to work too, but the baseball cap seemed like the most obvious way to make it look sportier and more outdoorsy. Yes, this is my version of sporty and outdoorsy.
