Winter Floral


I wore this outfit to another performance of the show I stage managed this winter. Sadly, our run is over but it was amazingly successful and I'm so proud that I was a part of it. :) That being said, it will be nice not to drive 25 minutes there and back everyday. Got old real fast. 

This dress is obviously a summer dress. It's even strapless. I just love how it fits and the floral pattern so I threw on some boots, sweater tights and a jacket and forced it to transition to winter. Sometimes I need reminders of summer during winter so I can remember that it will in fact become warmer....eventually.

That's all for today. I've gotta get to bed because classes start tomorrow for the spring semester...yay. Guess what else starts tomorrow?! My internship! That's right, I got an internship when I wasn't even looking for one for this semester. It kind of fell into my lap, and it couldn't be more up my alley. I'm interning with Luxury Garage Sale in Chicago in their photo department. If you don't know, they're a designer consignment company that sell people's designer things on ebay for them! Check out their website(HERE) if you want to see what's listed/find out more! I cannot wait to be around such amazing clothes/accessories and get some hands on experience in the fashion world! I can't help but be a little nervous since this is totally new to me and my first internship, but I know that it's going to be amazing. Wish me luck!

Sara wears a dress!


Yes, that's right I finally wore a dress. Go me! Although it wasn't too bad since I wore opaque tights with it so there was nothing to worry about flashing-wise. But still. Quite an accomplishment for me :) Also, I've been loving this belt I got from goodwill for $1. I'm pretty sure it's a really old kids belt, but that just means it fits my waist perfectly.

Isn't this little woodsy area so pretty? Me and Mary stumbled upon it a few weeks ago. Definitely think we'll be back!

Probably falling. I was a little too excited to get on the rocks :)

Bright Plaid in Grant Park


Hey guys! First off, sorry for the photo overload today. Alex took these for me again, and it turned into a full blown photoshoot all over Grant Park :) Onto the outfit..this skirt is actually a dress. I've seen so many bloggers transform dresses by just putting some kind of top over it. This dress was a little tricky because it's strapless, and it has big buttons going up the middle all the way to the top. I ended up putting a camisole underneath, and I added a scarf to cover up any weird looking fabric underneath.

Oh, and a quick tip for anyone visiting Chicago: If you're going to wear a skirt or dress, make sure you wear opaque tights underneath since the wind is crazy and unpredictable. These tights definitely saved me from a few free shows today! :)

Looking really awesome with my backpack haha.
