So here’s something curious. You’d think that blogging would make me feel this pressure to always wear something new. In fact, I never used to repeat an outfit, until I started blogging. Granted, it still doesn’t happen often, but it does happen, and what you’re seeing here is an outfit I wore two weekends in a row.

Back when Sarah’s real life was just my life and not the name of your very favorite blog, I never repeated an outfit. Individual pieces, sure, but not a whole outfit. It didn’t matter that no one else would notice and that there was no documented photo evidence of everything I wore – I would know.

But now that I take pictures of the vast majority of outfits I wear, whenever I don’t get a chance to take pictures, in my mind it’s like I never wore it, so I might as well wear it again so I can take pictures. It’s hard to say which of my outlooks is more insane, so let’s call it a tie.

Also, yes. I know my sweatshirt says “aumtomne” and yes, I know it is currently winter. I was hoping my jacket would obscure the text and make me seem mysterious. It didn’t work. I’m really striking out today.

As usual, this fall I got a fun new coat to ease the transition into chilly temperatures. My cold-weather wardrobe needed more pastels in it for sure. I’m totally happy with this purchase, although I did learn one thing the hard way: this lovely minty number is more of an above freezing coat. Not that it’s completely ineffective, it’s just more of a structured thick sweater than a coat. This fact became very apparent when I wore this outfit in 14-degree wind chills. Like Alanis Morissette told us: you live, you lerrrrn.
