Sarah's Real Life

I swear I didn’t start out with a plan to look like January Jones in Mad Men. But it happened and I’m not mad (pun intended) about it. I knew I wanted to wear this dress on Saturday night, and it was rainy so I figured I might as well put my hair up. Once my hair was up, I realized I needed some earrings, and these pearls just happened to be sitting on my sink. That’s when I looked in the mirror and realized I had a former-Mrs-Draper thing going on, so I figured why not go full-on 60s with some gold flats and a straw clutch. So the question is: who wore it better?

(While we’re on the subject, do me a solid and don’t spoil the end of the series. I won’t see the last season and a half til it’s on Netflix!)

I’m sure you’ll find this shocking – what with my butch physique and penchant for practical footwear – but I have never been the sporty type. The only way I get to wear a varsity jacket is by buying this one from Loft. I was always picked last for teams in gym class – not because people didn’t like me, or because I was fat and slow, but because I really was that terrible at every sport. It was 50% poor hand-eye coordination and 50% not giving a shit. Well, probably more like 70/30. I killed at the Presidential Fitness Test, though. And dodge ball. My main skills were being really strong and flexible and avoiding contact with balls. Not much has changed.

So anyway…cute jacket, right?
