I like my LBDs how I like my coffee – with a healthy dose of cream.

Just kidding. That’s too cheesy even for me. Although I do take cream in my coffee. And I do dig this black and cream combo. I think this dress is going to be a great standalone for a quasi-fancy event in the spring or summer, but in the meantime I’m figuring out how to get away with it at work in the winter. For the full effect, try to picture me sitting at a desk doing lawyerly things. And drinking my creamy coffee, of course.

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.
