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!)

While I wouldn’t say I got many nuggets of fashion wisdom from my mom as a child, I do remember her being very attentive to color and skin tone. She would always tell me if something “wasn’t a good color on me.” Good advice, for sure, but it also led to a closet that was almost entirely blue because that’s the color that looks best on me.

Over the years I’ve welcomed pretty much every color into my closet, but I had been holding off on orange. I thought a very indoor (read: pale) white girl like me would just look like a traffic cone in orange. Well, that might be true, but when people say “you could stop traffic,” that’s a good thing, right? I’m going for it.

Sure, not every color looks as good on me as blue, but a one-color life is no life at all. So sorry, mom, but I’m ignoring your advice. But I remember all the stuff about feminism and doing your homework.
