weekly roundup Friday 05.17.13 
i realized today that if you wear strappy sandals like these new favorites from shoemint and a high waisted belt with a short dress, you'll look like you are nothing but legs and hair. so, there's that. and also, on a totally unrelated note did you ever see the movie super troopers? that scene where they replace "now" with "meow"... i am still laughing about it TWELVE YEARS LATER. and i suspect that when i'm a grandma it will STILL get to me. i love that. allright meow, you all have a great weekend! i may be back later today or tomorrow if i can get it together to do a roundup!! xx- sarah

i had this moment in the grocery store the other day where i realized that we're almost at the end of the very last scraps of winter produce. and like some crazy squash hoarder i started grabbing at the butternuts. i'm going to make a couple batches of this soup to freeze because i hate the idea of waiting until october to have butternut squash soup again. is that crazy? maybe i'm a kooky squash hoarder or suffering from some other squash related mental disorder. something to ponder while i'm roasting 55 batches of butternut. xx- sarah {more after the jump}

you know what i'm loving today? a dress that costs $41 and makes me feel like a million bucks. i'm not sure what kind of math that is, but it's the kind i like. you may remember it from here, when i recommended my pal lucy get it to wear to a wedding in bali. lucy, get it. let's be twins. xx- sarah {more after the jump}

QUESTION: Hi Sarah! I always adore your fashion posts, so I'd love it if you'd help me out with a little conundrum - I love wearing dresses & skirts in the spring and summer, but since I'm often out and about into the night, I like to layer. I'm ridiculously short (5') so blazers tend to look silly on me with dresses, but I'm quickly tiring of only adding a cardigan on top. Any creative ways to broaden my layer horizons? Thanks! xo, Anni
ANSWER: hi anni! i've put together some options... mostly of the cropped variety. you can almost never go wrong with throwing a denim cropped jacket over a dress, but even that needs mixing up every now and then. so i've given you some other options too! i love the juxtaposition of feminine dresses with army jackets, so there are a couple of those options (and if you're 5' throw on some heels when you're out and about for the night and you can get away with a longer jacket!). i also included a motorcycle jacket and a less traditional blazer (i think the super short crop would make it workable on your petite frame!) and, if you're still looking for more options i've added some extras in the links below! hope you love! xx- sarah
