I’ll be honest. If I only have to leave the house to do one thing, I don’t make much effort. Please don’t tell Stacy and Clinton. But on Tuesday I actually had several errands to run, so it seemed that an outfit was justified. I went to pee in a cup (not just for fun – so I can go back to work at my old job), and I went to the dry cleaners, the bank, the grocery store, and the library.

This sweater is perfect for coolish spring days because it covers my arms, but it’s loosely knit almost like mesh. Or something. There’s probably a technical textile name for it but I don’t know what it is. Anywho, the colors are what I would call oatmeal and pale peach. The sweater makes me embrace my inner ballerina (hence the bun). I feel very dainty and demure, and then…BAM! Leopard print shoes. Didn’t see that coming, did you?

I wore this to go see the dance recital of a studio where I used to teach (shout out to Terre Haute Academy of Dance! Hansel and Gretel was awesome). I decided to put my hair in a bun of solidarity.

Let me let you in on a little secret about this dress: You will never see me wear it without a cardigan buttoned in the middle…because there’s an orange stain a couple inches above my belly button. It’s very small, but on a light-colored garment, it’s quite obvious. So there you have it. Sarah wears stained clothes. Man, what a mess. She really needs to get it together.
