I was throwing together a rainy day look yesterday and I decided to turn to my list of Looking Lucky trends for inspiration. (AHEM. HINT HINT. Do the Looking Lucky style challenge with me so you can get help thinking of what to wear, too.) I decided to go with lace just because I usually think of lace for “fancy” occasions, not rainy days. And that’s what makes style fun, right? Thinking of new and slightly unexpected ways to wear things. That’s my philosophy, anyway. Feel free to disagree with me (but keep it to yourself…this is MY blog, dammit).

I always get a chuckle when a full-time blogger posts a casual outfit and says it’s her “off-duty” look. Are you a cop? What duty are you off from? In other words what she’s saying is, “This is what I wear when I’m not trying to impress you.”

Well folks, if you were looking for someone who’s never trying to impress you, you came to the right place. Here at Sarah’s Real Life, I have no problem showing you what I wear on a rainy, warmish fall day while running errands in preparation for a dinner of vegetarian chili and pumpkin beertails. Was I on duty or off duty? Well, if my duty was to keep my feet dry and make a delicious meal, then I was definitely ON.

(Oh…If you’re intrigued by the vegetarian chili and pumpkin beertails, check back tomorrow for recipes!)
