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!

Beach Hair, Don’t Care

When: Sunday // Weather: beachy // Real life: brunch, driving, and (duh) the beach

Ah, the Outer Banks. Where a glass of wine counts as an accessory. (It’s Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc, if you’re wondering.)

This is the most dressed up you’ll see me at the beach, but we spent the first part of the morning at brunch and hanging at my parents’ house before hitting the road. I decided this dress was perfect because it would be comfortable in the car for 3 hours, and it has a nice, sunny, “I’m at the beach and I’m not mad about it” vibe. The fact that the salty wind and humidity turned my hair into a 60s housewife flip within 10 minutes was just a bonus.
