If you read my blog every day, you know I’m supposed to be in New York City right now for a fabulously nerdy fashion law conference. If you read literally any other news source, you know New York got hit with a beast of a snow storm yesterday. My Thursday morning flight got cancelled on Wednesday night, but then I got rebooked for Thursday afternoon. Not so bad. Had to cancel plans with friends, but I got some extra sleep, more time to pack, and did some work from home.

Around 1pm Thursday, an hour and half before I planned to leave for the airport, my rebooked flight got cancelled. (Cue dramatic fall to my knees while screaming “NOOOOO!”) I called the airline and searched all the websites I could think of, and the only option left would’ve involved getting to the airport at 4am and missing the first session of the conference. I was definitely excited for the trip, but it got to the point where the extra stress and extra effort was outweighing the few remaining benefits.

Sigh. So I cancelled my hotel, return flight, and conference registration, and then went out for a drink and Greek food. This outfit was going to be a great travel slash walking through snowy NYC ensemble, but it turned out to be a decent work from home slash eating consolation falafel ensemble instead.

Classy Safari

Someone (it might have been me) said I looked like I was going on a classy safari in this dress. So I obviously had to buy it, as classy safarian (safarier? safariee?) is my go-to look for everyday. A normal safari is generally warmer from what I understand, and practical footwear is required. But for a classy safari, layers and ankle boots are the way to go. Then you just replace the binoculars with a cute suede crossbody, and you’re ready to observe commuters in their natural habitat.

Tomorrow I head to NYC for my nerd conference in the midst of Fashion Week madness. Follow me on Instagram (@sarahsreallife) if you want the play-by-play!
