A Little Late
Dress: Anthropologie / Belt: thrifted / Sandals: DSW / Flower: Marc Jacobs
I wore this on Thursday but didn’t get a chance to put them up because I went to go see Cowboys & Aliens. It was pure summer fun. I enjoy going to midnight showings, even if it is a little harder to get up the next morning.
The Ohio State Fair is this week and all I want to do is eat a funnel cake. I...
Ugh Day
Shirt: thrifted / Jeans: F21 / Shoes: DSW / Ring: H&M / Necklace (as headband): thrifted
When I woke up this morning I knew that it was going to be one of those days. I had planned out a few outfits and wasn’t feeling any of them and somehow managed to throw this together, making it to work (kind of) on time. Thank goodness we were celebrating birthdays today so I could get...
Wildflowers & Coffee
Dress: thrifted / Sandals: Target / Earrings: Francescas / Bag: DSW / Shades: Forever 21
I know last night everyone was in the middle of watching the worst show on television, The Bachlorette, when we were interrupted by Prez Obams/J.Bones. Our country is a hot mess right now, as we all know, and I have figured out a solution. The Kardashians.
That damn family is swimming in mounds of...
Half Day
Shirt: Talbots / Jeans: Gap / Belt: thrifted / Sandals: Zara / Bag: thrifted
Does anyone else notice that Barack Obama struts up to the podium every time he has a presidential address? It makes me laugh. I wish I could live in the White House. I would strut down that hallway eating my grilled cheese that I had just ordered from the kitchen. I’d also watch The American...
Its Summer
Dress: LOFT / Sandals: DSW / Shades: Filene’s Basement
There isn’t really much to say. It’s still hot, air conditioning is still cranked up and I am still holding onto wearing sundresses every day. I feel like I look as though I should be on a Jamaican cruise. I always find it funny that every summer people act like it never gets hot. It’s summer!! Excuse me,...
Stylish Ladies: The Olsen Gals
Classic, simple and fresh. The Olsens look so nice, don’t they? If those handbags weren’t $1 trillion bones I would have one myself. You can see more pictures from the collection here.

Not Friday
Dress: Macys / Shades: Anthropologie / Shoes: thrifted
It’s Thursday which can only mean one thing, tomorrow is Friday. I enjoy Fridays because it is the start of the weekend and a new Doug Loves Movies will be available for me to download in the morning. Lovely.
I like this dress because it’s easy- especially in humid weather. I bought it a few summers ago at Macys and it...
Tiny Dancer (real original title)
Dress: Urban / Belt: took off another dress / Cardigan: Gap / Sandals: DSW (on clearance!)
Last night I had a dream that my friends and I saw Paul F. Tompkins and we left in the middle of his show- this would NEVER happen in real life. Anyway he ended up saying something to us and I was able to talk to him and tell him how funny he is. And then right before my eyes he slowly turned...
Sara Goes Hawaiian
Dress: thrifted / Belt: thrifted / Necklace: Forever 21 / Flats: DSW
Let’s start this out by saying I Love Gidget. The book, movies, the TV show- I love it all. Ever since I was the age of 12 and watched Deborah Walley in Gidget Goes Hawaiian I have longed to go for years now, same holds true to Gidget Goes to Rome! Anyway I know Hawaii isn’t anything fancy but it just looks...
Huh?
Shirt: F21 / Jeans: Gap / Flats: DSW / Necklace: Maycs
On Fridays our office is like a ghost town. With summer hours happening everywhere its very desolate which is why I like to go for nothing but comfort. This necklace it another thing that I have had for over a year and never worn. I found it at Macys last May for $6. There I go bragging again.
This morning when I woke up I thought...
Hidden Treasure
Top: Marshalls / Skirt: thrifted / Shoes: Coach, DSW / Belt: thrifted
I have had this skirt for probably over a year and am just getting around to wearing it. Another reason why I am continuing to clean out my closet this weekend to fine things I forgot I purchased and get rid of the things that I don’t need. I have gotten rid of five bags of clothes already, isn’t that just...
Romance
Dress: F21 / Tank: Old Navy / Belt: my mom! / Necklace: thrifted / Shoes: Boutique 9
Today while listening to one of my favorite podcasts (Comedy Film Nerds) the topic on hand was romantic comedies. I’m assuming everyone that reads this knows that I am a fan of movies - all shapes and sizes doesn’t matter I just love them.
I think romantic comedies most of the time get a...
Goodness Gracious
Tank: Target / Cardigan: Target / Jeans: Gap / Flats: DSW / Bag: sample sale, work / Necklace: F21
Last night was the most fun I have had all summer, excuse me Summah! My friend Bailey and I went to see Doug Benson and Graham Elwood at the Funny Bone. They were hilarious! I’m such a huge fan of both of them and their podcasts that I was filled with nothing but pure excitement. I got...
Elefants
Dress: Francesca’s / Purse: sample sale / Heels: Ralph Lauren, DSW / Belt: thrifted
I wanted to title this No Water for Elephants but I think it’s more funny to spell elephant with an “f” instead.
I woke up this morning and thought it was Thursday, it’s not it’s Tuesday and on that note I should go to bed so I’m ready for tomorrow, Saturday.
Sunny Sunday
Shirt: H&M / Shorts: F21 / Bathing Suit: mybabyjo / Scarf: thrifted / Sandals : Zara / Bag: Marc Jacobs
Yesterday was the first time I have been to the pool this summer and it was fantastic. I soaked up all the sun was putting out and enjoyed every minute of it.
When I was a kid I use to spend summers visiting my grandparents in TN. My mom’s parents did not have cable...
To buy or not to buy...
I really want a pair of high waist wide leg jeans and am kind of kicking myself for not buying the ones GAP had last Fall. Granted I haven’t made a trip there yet, I did find the lovely ones above from Free People. However the grand total is $95 (with shipping). They are cute but I’m just not convinced I should pay $95 for something that I’m not sure if I will wear a lot. If...
Tonight I saw Midnight in Paris and I Loved it! It was quite charming and the 1920’s clothing was killer. It’s times like these I feel very inspired with fashion, I’m definitely making a list of things in my head so I can recreate this inspiration into outfit form. Note the following:
flower headbands
red nails and lips
t-strap/mary jane heels
new haircut? flapper bob?

Thrifting the Day Away
Shirt: F21 / Shorts: F21 / Belt: Gap / Purse: Marshalls / Flats: DSW
I actually didn’t thrift the day away like I thought I would but I did thrift it up at a new(er) Goodwill. I had a half day at work today (thank you summer hours!) and really just spent the afternoon relaxing.
I realized how quick I got into weekend garb as soon as I got home though- our office is pretty casual...
Patriotically Late
Dress: Tommy Hilfiger, Macys / Belt: thrifted / Shoes: Ralph Lauren, DSW
We have all heard the term fashionably late, well today I am patriotically late. I also believe I didn’t wear red, white and blue on Monday- this is strange since I like dressing to themes. Oh you didn’t know that I am four years old? Four years old at heart and going strong.
I found this dress for...
Free Information
Dress: Forever 21 / Cardigan: Gap / Belt: thrifted / Shoes: Payless
Tonight I learned through the Target Pharmacy that Tylenol was voluntarily recalled because something didn’t smell right in the batch. This immediately made me paranoid (cue Kanye song) and thankful that I use the knock-off brand. Thank you to the older gentleman who asked the question at the counter, and thank...
Simply Simple
Shirt:thrifted / Shorts:thrifted / Bag: Elliot Lucca, DSW / Sandals: F21 / Earrings: LOFT
This is not what I wore to work yesterday. Well, that is partially true. I wore the shirt but I also wore jeans and as soon as I got off work and stepped outside I realized that was a terrible idea. So I changed into shorts and went ate some Arbys. This is very healthy, especially during the...
The Circle of Life
Dress: Marshalls / Purse: Re/Dress / Heels: Coach, DSW / Bangles: F21, Bitten, Grandmothers
Sunday evening my mom and I went to see The Lion King in downtown Dayton and it was spectacular. I’ve been lucky enough to see it twice but my mother had never seen it. After it was over we were walking to the car and she started crying because it was “so beautiful”, I laughed....
Just wanted to say...
Happy 4th from Thomas Jefferson and I:
Remixin'
I was looking over the photos from the past week and my vacation, realizing that I had previously worn most of the clothing I wanted to take a look back on how I have remixed all of these items in the past. Without further ramblings from my brain here we are:
Taking a look at these photos makes me feel as though I am making the most out of my wardrobe. With that being said I still need to...
Golden Gal
Dress: thrifted / Belt: H&M / Bag: thrifted / Sandals: Zara
Oh dear God, I am watching The Challenge: Rivals and it is…ridiculous. It is also hilarious. The interactions between these people is insane…and a girl just broke a mirror. Wow. This is what my life consists of on a Thursday evening. That and eating McDonalds ice cream.
This outfit just kind of came together on...
