A few posts back I talked about one of my go-to fall outfit combos, and here’s another one: short dress + tall boots (with or without tights/leggings). Soon I’ll be somewhere that fall clothes aren’t needed – they call it the most magical place on Earth, but honestly I don’t know how magical a place can be without autumn.

Still, it should be a lovely time, so any Disney fanatics that want to  follow along, you can find me on Instagram (@sarahsreallife).

As much as I love my brights (follow me on Instagram to see all my annoyingly colorful outfits), I do still appreciate a black dress. But it must be a sassy black dress. The dress needs to be able to roll its eyes at people and make sarcastic comments. Otherwise, it has no place in my wardrobe. This dress is super comfy and definitely sassy. When I wore this dress out last weekend, it made snide remarks about a man who was wearing faux leather pants with Crocs. It wasn’t me, though; it was the dress. I told it not to be rude, but then the dress made a good point: the man was wearing faux leather pants with Crocs.
