Somehow, I’ve been married for 6 years. It’s a miracle anyone agreed to marry a smartass party pooper like myself, much less remain married to a smartass party pooper for 2,192 days and counting. It must be my eyes.

We celebrated our anniversary with a quick weekend roadtrip to Bloomington, where we met. (IU class of 2007!) Saturday was spent sipping vino at Oliver Winery, followed by dinner at Finch’s, then a play, then cocktails at Cardinal Spirits (if you follow the blog What I Wore, her husband is one of the founders of the distillery).

The play was a stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion. I haven’t read the book, but now I want to. Maybe I’ll add it to my to-do list for when I retire. My favorite line from the play (and the book) that seemed perfectly fitting for the occasion was: “I must learn to brook being happier than I deserve.” After this many years, I’m finally starting to get the hang of it.

GUYS. I haven’t blogged in like a week. Did you miss me? Have you just been constantly hitting “refresh” waiting for a new outfit to pop up? If so, please seek professional help, or at least get another hobby. I mean, it’s just a blog.

I spent most of last week in Toronto, hence the lack of new posts. The irony is that sometimes, Sarah’s real life (the actual life) gets in the way of Sarah’s Real Life (the blog). This is a look I wore a couple weeks ago, brought to you by yet another impulse buy at an epic Ann Taylor extra-million-percent-off sale. We all know I needed another midi skirt, right? Right.
