As promised, I’m doing an unofficial “Frocktober” challenge where I remix my summery dresses into fall outfits. I thought I made this up, and then I found out that Frocktoberfest is also a festival in Australia and New Zealand where everyone wears dresses and they raise money for ovarian cancer research. To be clear, my version is less fun, less charitable, and doesn’t have a cool accent. But it still involves dresses, so there’s that.

One of the easiest ways to Frocktober-ize a dress to add a leather jacket. And that’s pretty much the end of my advice. See, told ya it was easy.

The first week back at work after our beach vacation was a little rough. But if we decided to throw it all away and sell beaded jewelry and bongos from a tent on the beach, I would miss our weekends in the city. It would also be a lot harder to pay back my student loans. The point is, last Saturday I got to do some of my favorite things, like visit the grounds of the art museum, go out to eat, see a movie, go shopping, and…last but not least…wear a sweater. It was enough to make me finally unpack!

Looking back at this outfit, I realize that I’m wearing multiple trends at once: long cardigan (a.k.a. duster), neck scarf, crawler earrings. Luckily, I don’t think it comes off like I’m trying too hard, which I’m going to say is thanks to the neutral colors and the overall casual feel (or maybe it was just the remnants of laid back beach Sarah).
