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 :)

Tribal Summer


 Finally a summer outfit! It's been so nice out lately, that I'm just waiting for a crappy day. I don't think it's sunk in that it's June yet. So crazy. I have to admit that finally wearing shorts was a bit scary considering my legs are blindingly white, but shorts are the only way they're going to get tan, right? 

I ended up knotting this shirt because i didn't realize how weirdly it was shaped when I bought it. I think I just really liked the design on the front so I didn't pay attention to how awkward it looked on haha. Knotting it fixed that problem though!

I hope you have weather as nice as this where ever you are :)

Roomie Shoot #1!


This post is super late. We shot these a week ago. Oops! I knew it was getting ridiculous when I had 3 more outfits already shot, and I hadn't posted these yet, haha. You can definitely tell it was a week ago because the temperatures have changed quite a bit since then. I've been wearing shorts and tanks lately :) Anyways, this was me and Mary's first outfit shoot together! I seriously can not wait til we can shoot each others outfits all the time when we move in together at the end of summer! There's endless awesome locations downtown too, including this park overlooking the lake. We spent the day eating delicious food(refer to tempura snap peas & cupcakes below..YUM), browsing some shops, and taking each others photos! It was a blast.


Mary looking adorable as usual :) 
..Can you tell how insanely windy is was in the next 2 pictures? haha.

I'm Back!


Woah, it's been awhile hasn't it?! Whoops. I didn't stop blogging on purpose, but I haven't exactly been dressing blog worthy either. I moved home a couple weeks ago for summer, and I just started unpacking my clothes a few days ago. Summer's supposed to be nice and relaxing, but so far mine's been go, go, go. It feels so good to finally get all my clothes sorted out and put away. It's only been about 2 weeks, but there's still a bit of a 'new clothes' feeling unpacking things I forgot I had. :)

Anyways, not a super original outfit, but I liked it and I needed to blog something so this was it! I forget about these boots all the time for some reason, but I love them. So did the random lady at Barnes & Noble who came up to me to tell me she thought they were awesome. Random stranger compliments are the best, aren't they?

P.S. - Welcome to my backyard! Haha. It was kind of dreary and rainy, but anything's better than taking pictures inside.

P.S.S. - My next post was my first photo shoot with my future roommate Mary of Undergrab Fab, and it was SO fun. I cannot wait to do it alll the time when we move into our apartment at the end of summer!!

As I was taking my outfit pictures, I saw this dewy plant and couldn't resist snapping a few photos of the water droplets so I thought I'd share some of the shots here. Would you like to see some of my photography once and a while on here, or should I keep it all fashion?

Bolts


 So this outfit isn't anything all that innovative or exciting, but I just really like this necklace..and it was super nice out. :) I got this necklace in Milwaukee a while ago, but this is the first time I've worn it. I just couldn't figure out what to wear it with for some reason. And then I threw on this outfit without much thought(finals have drained my brain), and knew it needed something, so voila! Bolt necklace.

Speaking of finals, I'm done with this semester!!! IT'S SUMMER! Finally. Now I just have a week off until my summer classes start...greaaat. Oh well, anything's better than full time school right now ha.

Oh, and how nice is this location? It's right next to the Chicago Art Institute(you can see in the background of the picture below), and it suddenly got really pretty with spring. SO happy Chicago's no longer so gray :)
