The first week back at work after our beach vacation was a little rough. But if we decided to throw it all away and sell beaded jewelry and bongos from a tent on the beach, I would miss our weekends in the city. It would also be a lot harder to pay back my student loans. The point is, last Saturday I got to do some of my favorite things, like visit the grounds of the art museum, go out to eat, see a movie, go shopping, and…last but not least…wear a sweater. It was enough to make me finally unpack!

Looking back at this outfit, I realize that I’m wearing multiple trends at once: long cardigan (a.k.a. duster), neck scarf, crawler earrings. Luckily, I don’t think it comes off like I’m trying too hard, which I’m going to say is thanks to the neutral colors and the overall casual feel (or maybe it was just the remnants of laid back beach Sarah).

Here’s how a recent conversation went in Ann Taylor:

Me: “I can pull off a neck scarf, right?”

K: “Can I pull off a neck scarf?”

Me: “Be serious. Can I wear this?”

K: “Why is it called a neck scarf? Don’t all scarves go around your neck?”

Suffice it to say I never got a straight answer on whether I looked cool with a piece of silk tied around my neck. So naturally I bought it and wore it and here we are. What’s the verdict? (This is mostly a rhetorical question because I’ve already decided I look awesome.)
