They make pumpkin spice everything else these days, so why not pumpkin spice pants? (Ann Taylor doesn’t actually call them that, but I think they should.) I wore this during last week’s spell of Indian Summer – it was too warm for sweaters and scarves, so I had to channel those autumnal November vibes some other way. Challenge accepted.

Fun fact: this t-shirt is actually a few inches longer than it looks here, but it looked sloppy (and unflattering) with these pants for work so I folded it under and held it in place with safety pins. OK, so it’s not that fun, but it is a fact.

Here’s something that really is fun: I will be performing in Cultivate, an emerging choreographers showcase this weekend. If you’re in the Indianapolis area and you’re a fan of modern dance (or just dance-curious), please come check it out. Tickets are available here. This show couldn’t come at a better time – there’s nothing like art and beauty to reassure us that good things are still possible. Not that anyone’s been questioning that recently but…you know…a reminder never hurts.

It’s nearly midnight as I put this post together while watching election coverage, and it’s looking like I won’t be able to give a “woohoo” or a “kill me now” exclamation before I fall asleep. I know Sarah’s Real Life is a style blog, but in real life, Sarah supports Hillary Clinton with every bit of her shrunken heathen lesbian democrat lawyer witch heart. And I don’t care who knows it!

So to distract me from the stress of all these “too early to call” states, I’m just going to talk about this outfit. Last Saturday was a perfectly crisp and sunny fall day, so after fitting in a morning workout and a billing a few hours, I spent the second half of the day with my favorite fellow Nasty Woman walking around Mass Ave, doing a little shopping, and having a cocktail at Black Market. My drink was called “Satan’s Whiskers,” so you know it was good and strong. I might go back for another one once the election is called – hopefully it’s celebratory! If not…well, there’s nothing like good gin to make 4 years go by quickly.
